why hand it to us

furnished medium-term, done properly.

not a holiday-let churn, not a set-and-forget agency. we specialise in the 3–12 month furnished stay, the sweet spot for yield and stability, and we've done it by the bay since 2004.

better furnished yield

furnished medium-term rents at a premium over a standard unfurnished 12-month lease, without the nightly-turnover grind.

more per week

reliable, vetted tenants

working professionals, relocators and longer-stay students on formal Victorian RTA leases with bonds lodged with the RTBA.

screened + leased

genuinely hands-off

furnishing, photography, listing, screening, rent, bills, cleaning and maintenance: all of it ours, none of it yours.

all of it, ours

owner questions

the bits owners ask first.

no, we're not an agent, so there's no commission and no management cut. we take a long-term lease off you at a guaranteed rent, then furnish and operate the place ourselves. you get the same rent every month, full or empty. we'll walk you through the exact number for your property in the appraisal.

for furnished medium-term stays we typically bundle utilities into the tenant's rent and hold the accounts ourselves, so you're not chasing connections or final readings. we'll confirm the setup that suits your property. bills are often included for the tenant.

formal Victorian Residential Tenancies Act agreements with bonds lodged with the RTBA, the same compliant framework we use across all 50+ dwellings. stays run from a three-month minimum, typically 3–12 months.

we do, with our trusted local trades and an after-hours line for tenants, 9am–9pm and beyond for anything urgent. you're only looped in for anything that needs your sign-off.

no. we can furnish and style it for you, or work with what's there. that's part of the appraisal conversation, and it's where a lot of the extra yield comes from.

our bayside patch: St Kilda, St Kilda East, Balaclava and Elwood, with the odd nearby pocket. if you're just outside, ask us anyway. we know the corridor well.
