Is Your Property Manager Costing You Peace of Mind?
Seventy percent of landlords use property managers. High turnover leads to long-term property issues and tenant dissatisfaction.
Inconsistent service causes major stress.
Choosing the right partner matters.
Here’s the breakdown of why high turnover is problematic:
- Inconsistent Service: When property managers frequently change, owners must constantly re-establish relationships, explain their needs, and ensure their property’s specific requirements are understood. This lack of continuity leads to errors and oversights.
- Maintenance Delays: New property managers unfamiliar with a property’s history may delay addressing maintenance issues, leading to tenant frustration and potential damage to the property.
- Communication Breakdown: Frequent changes in personnel disrupt communication channels, making it difficult for owners to stay informed about their property and address concerns promptly.
- Lack of Accountability: With high turnover, it can be challenging to hold any one individual accountable for the property’s performance, leading to a decline in service quality.

Cynthia has been an absolute life saver! We have a major rental crisis in Melbourne at the moment and we were really struggling to secure a property for my family. Cynthia went above and beyond to help us. Highly recommend this real estate to everyone as they don’t treat you as a number and they do much more than what their job needs to be. Thank you again

The team at Ember made everything so easy for us! From the first meeting, we felt well informed and benefited so much form the expertise and insights of these wonderful professionals. Nina, Cynthia and Alex ensured that we were set up in a way that was attractive for potential guests, easily maintained, and consistently booked. They have continued to manage the property with a minimum of input from us, and maximum confidence - we couldn't have asked for more. Absolutely top notch

Cynthia and the team at Ember have been incredible to deal with! Renting our family home out for the first time was a very overwhelming thought at first. Cynthia took the time to walk us through the whole process multiple times, answered our many questions daily and successfully got us the perfect tenants after the first and only open inspection. We couldn't recommend Cynthia and the team at Ember highly enough

I have recently starting using Cynthia's services after I was unhappy with my previous property manager and WOW! She has been a total breath of fresh air and ultimate professional with the transfer of property managers. I am beyond impressed and have already referred her to a number of friends. You won't be disappointed

How can I give a MILLION STARS!!! Nina and the team have been amazing. It was such a big step to put our house up for rent and but Nina and the team made it so easy. While we were away they put every effort in to make sure our home was looked after and kept up great communication. We will be renting out our home again in the near future and there is 100% no way we would go anywhere else. Thank you Nina

Boutique Property Management In Melbourne That Helps Your Investment Flourish
Imagine your investment property as a garden. Neglecting it doesn't just keep it from flourishing; weeds take over, the soil degrades, and the whole space becomes less valuable.
Similarly, ignoring property management issues like delayed maintenance and poor tenant screening leads to a decline in your property's condition and appeal.
Ember Property acts as your dedicated gardener, ensuring your investment thrives with careful attention and proactive care.
Unlike the "big box" garden centres (large property management firms) that offer generic solutions, Ember provides the tailored care your investment deserves, ensuring long-term growth and value.
