What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Owners who moved their rental properties across from other agencies, and tenants navigating difficult tenancy transitions, give consistently positive accounts of this Brisbane team. Various customers describe coming aboard after trouble with earlier managers, including one whose previous agency went into liquidation and who notes the team acted immediately, contacted the tenants and explained the situation with care. Dana Hartley is named often for an organised, proactive approach, clear communication and diligence in keeping rental properties maintained and tenanted, her honesty and directness contrasted against vaguer dealings elsewhere.

Katerina Vounakis also features regularly, particularly for guiding tenancy and exit processes, final inspections and bond matters in a manner that felt straightforward and respectful, and for helping applicants through stressful rental searches. A recurring point is the speed of responses and the readiness to resolve issues before they grow, alongside sound market knowledge and a down-to-earth manner. Owners switching agencies describe a marked change in service and confidence that their investment is properly looked after, while renters recall calm and fair handling of trying circumstances. The common thread is dependable management and communication that keeps both sides informed.

Although we weren’t successful this time with our application for a rental property, I have to say, Katerina was wonderful, very communicative, caring, and genuinely tried to help secure the rental. She understood long term ‘homelessness’ and how demoralising it can be, and went above and beyond to help. My experience with rental property managers hasn’t been ideal, most are non-caring in their manner and approach, not at all helpful, not willing to assist or help to improve applications. I found Katerina to be exactly the opposite, a breath of fresh air in an industry where many earn and deserve their reputations, Katerina and the team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Brisbane definitely earn their good reputation. I would very highly recommend them, and will be certainly contacting them in future if we need a rental property.

Katerina recently took our management on after a disappointing experience with another agency in our local area. There is no one like her in the industry, not only does she know her field back to front but she is down to earth whilst still professional. We will never use anyone else after seeing how she operates & takes care of our investment. Highly recommend!

I had a positive experience dealing with Katerina at BH&GRE. During the later part of our tenancy and exit process, Katerina was consistently professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. The final inspection and bond process were handled smoothly and respectfully, and it was clear she genuinely cared about maintaining a positive relationship with both tenants and owners. I appreciated her support and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a property manager who is fair, organised, and approachable.

I had a good experience with Katerina Vounakis at BH&GRE. After a very difficult start under previous management, Katerina changed my experience as a tenant. She was professional, approachable, responsive, and supportive throughout the remainder of our tenancy. Communication was always clear and efficient, and she handled situations calmly and fairly, which made a huge difference during a very stressful international move. The exit process was smooth, organised, and respectful, and I really appreciated the professionalism and kindness shown throughout. I would recommend Katerina to both property owners and tenants alike.

Katerina is, hands down, the best property manager I have ever worked with. She genuinely cares and gets things done when they need to be done, always going above and beyond with her tenacity and commitment. She is direct, honest, and proactive, which makes communication so much easier compared to the vague responses I have experienced with many other property managers. Having Katerina look after my property gives me complete confidence that it will be well cared for, communication will always be prompt and detailed, and any issues will be handled quickly and professionally. It truly feels as though she is just as invested in my property as I am. Over the past several months I have worked with Katerina, I have come to respect and admire her commitment, professionalism, and genuine care for both her clients and the properties she manages. I would not trust my property with anyone else and could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Katerina!

I had a great experience renting with BHGRE From day one since they took over from our previous Real Estate Agency. Their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Any maintenance requests were handled quickly, communication was always clear, and I truly felt respected as a tenant. It’s rare to find a property management company that combines efficiency with kindness, but they absolutely do. I’m grateful for the positive experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive rental company!
