Success Stories from Kew
Real results for real property owners
Rapid Tenant Placement Success
A grand period homes in Kew had been vacant for 6 weeks with another agent. We repositioned the property highlighting its proximity to Kew High School and High Street Kew, securing quality tenants within 2 weeks at $75 per week above the previous asking price.
Preventive Maintenance Excellence
Our quarterly inspection of a Federation home in Kew identified early maintenance issues. Quick action prevented major repairs, maintaining the property's appeal to affluent families tenants while saving the owner thousands in potential costs.
Market Positioning Success
Through understanding Kew's demographic of Affluent families and Professional couples and Empty nesters, we successfully positioned a property to achieve rental growth of $100 per week, adding over $5,200 annually to the owner's returns.
