End of lease nightmare – I rented the apartment unit for over 2 years. The agency was under Mint360. The apartment is located in Eastwood but their office is in Randwick.… Read more

Before I moved in, we completed an outgoing condition report with pictures, noting that the kitchen benchtop had a chip. However, they transferred this cost to me based on the ongoing condition report. Even after sending them the photo taken 2 years ago, they forwarded the bill to the repairer. Despite arguing with them and them taking a few days to review the report, they eventually declined the claim and still billed me. I'm tired of waiting and their rude responses have caused me stress and sleepless nights. This agent is clearly biased towards the landlord and sides with them to the detriment of the tenant. I opted for the end-of-lease cleaning recommended by them. Despite the cleaning service being double the price of other companies, I chose it to avoid any potential issues. However, the cleaning was still unsatisfactory, requiring the cleaner to return three times. Therefore, I advise tenants currently renting from this agent not to use their recommended cleaners. The results are likely to be subpar, and their recommendations are significantly overpriced, almost double that of other options.

We have been stuck with this company since June 2025. They promised to show us a property within 15 days or return our money. It's been 6 months, and… Read more

nothing has happened. I asked them not to show us properties with mobile towers in the vicinity, and that is what they did, and I rejected it. After that, people moved out of the company, and I wanted to see properties close to Victoria so that I could inspect them myself as I lost trust in them. Then this [Name Removed] took over, she just googles properties that I can better google and sends them to me, does not bother if they match my criteria or not. She did not hold a single meeting with me. I am begging for my refund, no one cares, I have emailed them, called them, requested, begged, no reply to my emails or phone calls. So many people have changed in the mean time, Now, they do not return my email/call/whatsapp calls.

Please don't steal our hard-earned money. Please please please refund if no one is interested to do anything. I wish I could give -100 as the rating for all the trouble and trauma these people have caused me through these months. I will be taking action against you as a consumer, this is my first step, watch for it!

Our experience with Harcourts Elite Agents Baldivis was extremely disappointing and frustrating from start to finish. We privately sold our home and… Read more

later rented the same property through Harcourts Elite Agents Baldivis, expecting at least a basic level of professionalism and communication. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at all.

Dealing with Natasha Brenchley was particularly frustrating. We repeatedly felt that our concerns were dismissed, communication was poor, and issues were not handled properly or in a timely manner. Instead of support and professionalism, we were left chasing answers and dealing with unnecessary stress.

We received notifications for our first inspection that never even happened, and when inspections did occur, some were delayed by up to eight months. This level of organisation is unacceptable for a property management company. We were also given invoice amounts different to what we were originally advised due to rent increases, causing confusion and frustration.

The way the end of tenancy was handled was even worse. No proper final inspection was organised with us — we were simply told to drop the keys into their Baldivis office letterbox. Then, after we had already closed our gas and electricity accounts, Natasha emailed us saying we could be charged for reconnection costs if utilities had been turned off. This felt unreasonable and poorly managed given the lack of proper communication.

To make matters worse, after professionally cleaning the property, we received a final report demanding that almost the entire house be cleaned again or they would organise their own cleaner and charge us $350. It felt excessive, unfair, and like an attempt to pressure us into paying unnecessary costs.

Overall, this was one of the most disappointing rental experiences we have had. Based on our experience, Harcourts Elite Agents Baldivis seriously needs to improve communication, organisation, professionalism, and the way tenants are treated. We would not recommend them.

Do not buy or sell through Riverbank Merrylands. Steven Josevski and Jaiden Spencer are the most unprofessional and incompetent agents I've dealt… Read more

with.

The defining moment: I called Steven before settlement to express my displeasure with the whole process. His response, in his own words, was that he serves the vendors and has no obligation to provide a good buying experience to me. That attitude explains every other failure on this list. His motto of "Honesty, integrity and transparency" is the biggest contradiction if I've ever seen one.

Steven is the primary agent on the advertising but doesn't even list a mobile number, never showed up at inspections, and was basically unreachable. Jaiden yelled at me at our first interaction for arriving near the end of an inspection window — something I'd only done because nobody at their office answered a phone.

The property itself was disgusting at inspection — mould and algae in the showers, sewage smell in the bathrooms, holes drilled across the house, rubbish strewn through both yards, tenants' belongings blocking every access point so you couldn't even see the place properly. Jaiden's response? Tenants can keep the property however they like and it's not their place to question it. That is literally the managing agent's job.

Additional clauses had to be attached to the contract before I'd sign. Jaiden told me he couldn't do it and pushed me to sign as-is. I had to call Steven's office directly to force the issue.

Then came settlement, which Riverbank dragged out by failing to deliver vacant possession — their contractual responsibility. No proactive communication, just delays and excuses. I'd already served notice on my rental, so they had me cornered, and they knew it.

The end-of-lease clause we'd negotiated was ignored. The property was handed over with destroyed gas cooktop and rangehood (rust and oil literally dripping), filthy oven, sewage smell in the bathrooms, mouldy showers, rubbish on the premises, overgrown lawns, power points coming off the wall and sparking. Jaiden agreed with everything at the pre-settlement inspection. Then Steven had the audacity to walk through separately with the vendors, tenancy agent, and suggest REDUCING the agreed settlement figure because he was "impressed" by the condition.

Jaiden did grow to become more empathetic towards the end of the settlement, but unfortunately, failed in his duties as the selling agent.

By his own admission, Steven doesn't care about the buyer experience. Believe him. Steer clear — there are far better agents in the area. If there was a 0 star option, I would be selecting that.

The reason we went with Custodian was their approach to investing balances risk and lifestyle with growing wealth, not like some other companies we looked at that wanted you to live on two minute noodles. Highly recommend these guys. Not pushy and quality of build seems good. We have two friends now going through the process with them too.

Very professional but friendly. I particularly like how well they have chosen my tenants and how well they deal with my tenants. A great balance between protecting my interests while also looking after the tenants respectfully.

I thoroughly recommend CY as landlord leasing agents and property managers

very easy. The ad went live on Wednesday, and we held open homes on Saturday and Sunday. We had around 20 groups attend over the weekend and received 8 applications. I was able to choose the best tenant, complete the background checks, and have the lease agreement signed by Wednesday that same week. In just 7 days of marketing, everything was done. They also provided the rental agreement and clearly explained the bond process and what needed to happen next. I’ll never use a property manager again.

poor communication, lack of follow-up, and weak organisation. I have had to repeatedly chase them for updates and action over several weeks.

For an issue as important as insurance, I expected a much more professional and proactive approach. Based on my experience, I would not feel confident leaving my property under their management.

As they risk leaving properties uninsured for lack of payment due to the lack of commitment and poor management

I engaged Metropole for their Strategic Property Plan, expecting a premium, team-based service as advertised. What I received instead was a generic… Read more

plan with minimal follow-up or meaningful engagement. For a fee of $4,675, I expected ongoing strategic input and a collaborative approach across accounting, finance, and property advisory. Instead, their recommended accountant was unreliable, and I ultimately had to rebuild my entire team independently.

Despite clearly communicating my dissatisfaction and lack of value received, Metropole refused to refund the fee—even though I never proceeded with the plan or received ongoing support. Their justification was that the plan was "delivered" and "hosted on a platform." That level of service, in my view, does not justify the price tag.

Since moving to KHI, I’ve received a comprehensive, integrated, and genuinely helpful property strategy at no additional cost—and already purchased my first property with their support. I would not recommend Metropole to anyone looking for a genuine end-to-end wealth creation strategy.
