About the company

duCHATEAU Real Estate is a family business, not a franchise, founded by Myles du Chateau, who was later joined by his father Michael. Myles du Chateau is Director & Principal, and Michael du Chateau is Director of new Business & Sales. The agency operates in the Sydney inner city property market and serves the suburbs of Darlinghurst, Petersham, Potts Point, Redfern, Surry Hills, Sydney, Waterloo and Woolloomooloo.

The team includes Nick O'Sullivan as Finance Broker, Jacklyn Jose as Property Manager, Sergio Ortega as Head of Leasing, and Dora Lillie as Trust Accountant & Property Management. duCHATEAU uses an off-market strategy to keep tenants up to date with properties matching their criteria before they are released to the open market.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A striking detail that emerges from the feedback is how quickly apartments find tenants, with properties frequently leased after just one viewing at rents that surpass the owner's expectations. Sergio is the name that recurs most often, praised for explaining the leasing process clearly, keeping lines of communication open and supporting clients who are overseas or based far from the property. Dora, Myles and Tippy also feature in accounts of sales and management, described as transparent and responsive throughout.

Reviewers repeatedly mention the reliability of the team's rental appraisals, which were borne out in practice, and the smooth handling of interstate moves, where belongings were packed, unwanted items removed and the apartment prepared for market within weeks. The condominium rental, leasing and property management services are said to be carried out with organisation and follow-through from the first inspection through to the signing of a tenancy. One long-standing agent notes the dedication shown to exceeding what was promised, while others point to the friendly, patient manner that made securing a home or tenant straightforward.

Travelling from Europe was a huge task for my partner and me, but everything changed when we met Sergio from DuCHATEAU Property. Sergio showed us several properties in Surry Hills, explained the Australian leasing process clearly, and helped us secure a wonderful apartment. I recommend Sergio 100%. He is positive, energetic, polite, caring, and genuinely committed to helping his clients. Thank you for making our move to Australia so easy and stress-free!

We have had urgent repair works in request for 3 months, since the time we moved in and no response. No working oven, non compliant range hood, hot water that has turned off twice but still no plumbing assessment, no bin key, toilet broken and constantly running water. Despite multiple emails, having fair trading involved etc - DuChataeu either stop responding to requests or only answer one request in the full scope. We have now requested to immediately and urgently vacate our property with no penalty, however, have not received a response. If you enjoy being treated as scum, ignored and forced to have cold showers on 6 degree mornings, DuChataeu is the place to go. However, if you believe your life is worth something and you should have access to basic living amenities, run far far away.

Over the past four years in Sydney, for the first time I experienced not only true professionalism, but genuine humanity. Du Chateaux is not simply — in my personal experience — the best agency I have worked with; it sets a benchmark for service standards, availability, and organization. Their operations are executed at a truly top-tier level. Sergio, Tippy, and the entire team are highly competent professionals — responsive, reliable, and consistently clear in their communication. What truly differentiates this agency is their transparency and clarity, qualities that are rare in the real estate sector and that unquestionably position them as number one in Sydney.

I have been a real estate agent for 28 years and I’m always taking note on how others do what they do. Sergio’s response in communication and dedication to exceeding is exemplary. I was sceptical about the anticipated rental appraisal which was around $250pw more than was quoted by the selling agent that I purchased from but true to his word Sergio gave exactly what he suggested and in lightning speed. The new tenant moved in 1 day after settlement. A true master of the game who knows his market well. Highly recommend Sergio and his team.

Mr Sergio was very helpful and he helped us secure the rental of an apartment. He was very understanding and friendly, definitely recommend to everyone that’s looking for a place to live in.

Sergio has been a pleasure to deal with. He is professional, efficient, and has made the process of leasing my apartment completely stress free. Sergio goes above and beyond.

Exceptional service! Thanks to Myles and Serigo ( head of leasing ). My property in Darlinghurst was rented out after just one showing, achieving a new record price for the building. The agent demonstrated outstanding market expertise, handled everything with precision, and made the entire process effortless. I’m beyond impressed and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking top results. Thank you again Serigo !
