PropertyManagement.
Owned by You. Handled by Us.
Owning a rental and running one are two different propositions. The first is an investment. The second is a job you never applied for.
We manage property for investors, for owners holding onto a first home rather than parting with it, and for anyone who’d sooner own a property than work one.
Services
- 01
Rental appraisal and pricing.
We price against current market conditions, recent comparable rentals, how the property presents and what demand looks like locally, so the figure is evidence-based rather than optimistic.
- 02
Marketing and leasing.
Photography, listing across the major portals, and inspections run properly, with prospective renters treated like people you’d want living in your home. Which, ideally, they are.
- 03
Applications and leasing.
A clear, fair process for applicants, with the checks done thoroughly and the decision made on evidence.
- 04
Agreements and documentation.
Rental agreements prepared, tenancy documentation kept in order, and the paperwork that keeps everything enforceable.
- 05
Rent and administration.
Rent collected and the day-to-day tenancy administration handled, with arrears picked up early and dealt with sensibly.
- 06
Routine inspections.
Carried out on schedule, each with a written report and photos, so you always know the shape your property’s in.
- 07
Maintenance and repairs.
Coordinated through local trades we know and use, with renters kept informed the whole way through. Small things fixed before they become expensive things.
- 08
Lease renewals.
Reviewed against the current market at every renewal, and the conversation had properly as circumstances change on either side.
- 09
Compliance.
Minimum standards, safety checks, and Victorian rental legislation kept on top of, so nothing lapses on your watch.
- 10
End of tenancy.
Final inspections, bond processing, and a clean handover into whatever comes next.
Success stories
Nadia Found the Suburb Before She Found the House
Most buyers turn up with a postcode already decided, usually the one they’ve been renting in or the one a friend won’t stop talking about. Nadia turned up willing to be talked out of hers.
So we took her across the Northside rather than into one corner of it. Different pockets, different property types, a few things that were never on her list. Plenty of it was ruling things out, which feels like nothing is happening right until the moment it does.
By the time we landed on where she wanted to be, she knew exactly why it was that one. It’s a better way to buy than falling for a suburb and working backwards from there. The homes we showed her along the way did the arguing for us.
She told us afterwards it was fun. She also told us she’d do it again. Since the entire point is that she won’t need to, we’re choosing to hear that as a compliment.

Some agents sell homes. We spend our days undoing everything that makes that easy for them. A small team, one suburb, and more local knowledge than any report will ever hold. The people behind That Street are worth knowing before you hand over the keys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Property management is typically charged as a percentage of the rent collected, plus a letting fee when a new renter is placed. Ours sit in line with the market and you’ll have the full picture before you commit. No unnecessary complexity, nothing buried in the fine print.
Through current market conditions, recent comparable rentals in the area, how the property presents, and local demand. The aim is a price backed by evidence rather than optimism, pitched to attract applicants worth having instead of just filling the place quickly.
Victorian rental laws set obligations around rental minimum standards, safety checks for gas, electricity and smoke alarms, urgent repairs, correct notice periods, and keeping the property in good repair throughout the tenancy. We keep you across all of it so nothing lapses, though the short version is that a well-maintained home is both the legal obligation and the thing that keeps good renters in it.
A property manager runs a rental on the owner’s behalf: pricing and advertising it, processing applications, preparing rental agreements, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance, carrying out routine inspections, keeping the property compliant with Victorian rental laws, and managing the tenancy from the first lease through to the final inspection and bond return.
Yes. Plenty of the homes we manage were bought long before the owner met us, and switching agencies is straightforward. Bring us a place anywhere across our patch and we’ll appraise the rent, tell you honestly how it’s performing, and take it over from wherever it stands.
Routine inspections are generally carried out at the start of a tenancy and periodically through it, within the limits Victorian rental laws set on frequency and notice. Each of ours comes with a written report and photos, so you always have a current record of the property’s condition.
Yes, and we have since the beginning. Buyers advocacy is the bigger half of the business, but managing homes has always run alongside it. Working both ends gives us a full view of the property lifecycle, from what makes a good buy through to what makes it perform once you own it.
Fewer than most, deliberately. We cap what we take on so every property gets proper attention, and we only manage in the area we live and buy in.
Word on the street.
Let’s look after that street.
Tell us about the property, where it is and how it’s held up, and we’ll tell you what it should be renting for, what it’s costing you as it stands, and how we’d run it from here.
