Get to know John Georges

I didn’t always work in the property market. I worked full time in dental, and had an investment property of my own. Originally, my property was managed by one of the major real estate chains that dominate the Eastern Suburbs. While realtors like these are skilled in cashing in on our area’s hot sales market, I soon learnt first hand that this success didn’t translate into good property management.

Focused on my career and family, I began to notice the cracks beginning to appear in my investment property. Rent wasn’t coming in on time, and my realtor wasn’t keeping me up to date. I went firsthand to see what was going on, only to find my property in a lousy state. It wasn’t being maintained at all, with damages piling up, the house unclean and worst of all, unhappy tenants.

I approached my realtor to get to the bottom of the problems piling up, but that in itself was an issue. The staff they had in charge of managing rentals were hardly attentive to the problems plaguing my property, and revealed that despite the number of rentals under the wing, the staff in charge were focusing mainly on sales. I soon realised this wasn’t just a matter of one bad realtor, the boom in property in our local area meant that agents were focused nearly entirely on quick, commission driven sales, over handling investment properties like my own. So, I took matters into my own hands, and became my own property manager.

My property was now in my own hands, getting the treatment it deserved for both my tenants and I. From here, Den was born. The problem I had encountered characterised a majority in the market, leaving little in the way of dedicated property management firms, providing the bespoke, personable and local management solutions for other investors like myself, which I now seek to deliver to you, in the form of Den Property Group. So, from my own firsthand experiences, I’m here to provide you with the solutions for your property, giving it the specialised management required to maximise the value of your investment.
