What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Melbourne, Ironfish Real Estate has built a reputation through its property management and rental services, with feedback repeatedly highlighting the professionalism of named team members. Sisi Peng comes up often for her calm, responsive approach, guiding renters from the initial inspection through application and lease signing while keeping them informed at each stage. Fancy Meng is praised for efficiently resolving issues across long tenancies, described as kind, proactive and a clear communicator.

Matthew Chan earns similar recognition for managing investment properties with minimal fuss, handling matters without owners needing to follow up. Several reviewers describe inspections as well organised, with attendance managed so there is ample time to view a property and ask questions without feeling rushed. Jennifer Liu and Jennifer Lu are both mentioned for personable, professional service and excellent communication before and during the rental process.

The recurring theme is responsiveness: calls and messages answered promptly, problems sorted quickly, and plain-English explanations replacing jargon. Reviewers note that coordination with tenants is handled efficiently and that the rental journey feels smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Long-term leaseholders credit the team with consistent support across multiple years, while property owners value the hands-off management style that keeps them updated without chasing. Clear communication and quick problem-solving stand out as the qualities tenants and landlords appreciate most.

We had a great experience with Floral Mei throughout our tenancy. She was always friendly, professional, and very responsive. Any issues we had were handled promptly, and communication was always smooth and easy. We felt very comfortable and well looked after throughout the entire lease period. We really appreciate Floral Mei’s support and would highly recommend her and Ironfish to anyone looking for a great rental experience!

I can’t recommend Matthew Chan enough – he’s been absolutely brilliant managing my property. Honestly, ever since he took over, I’ve had zero stress. He just handles everything so smoothly that I never have to chase him up. A few things really stand out: · Communication – he’s super responsive. Whether I call or text, he gets back to me quickly and explains things in plain English (no jargon or confusing stuff). I always know what’s going on. · Tenant screening – he doesn’t just rent to anyone. He actually takes time to find good, reliable tenants who treat the place like their own. And the rent he’s achieved has been really solid too. · Maintenance – whenever something’s needed fixing, he jumps on it straight away. He gives me a few options with different quotes, and always sends photos before and after. That kind of transparency gives me real peace of mind. I’ve already passed his name on to a few friends who own investment properties, and they’ve been just as impressed. So if you’re an owner – investment or living in it yourself – and you want someone who’s genuinely responsible and easy to deal with, Matthew is your guy. Hands down, I strongly recommend him.

Disappointing experience. In late June I made an enquiry asking for a proposal to sell my home. An agent contacted me and requested the floor plan, which I emailed through the same day on 29 June. I have not heard back since. I sent a polite follow-up on 17 July and, almost four weeks on, still no response — not even an acknowledgement. I understand agencies get busy, but a seller enquiry is presumably the sort of business they want. Their advertising makes a lot of promises about service and communication; my experience was the opposite. If you can’t reply to a prospective vendor who has already done what you asked, it doesn’t inspire confidence about how you’d handle the actual sale.

Jennifer Lu was absolutely fantastic to deal with! She was extremely professional, personable and had excellent communication skills always keeping me informed. Thank you Jennifer and the whole team at Ironfish real estate for your exceptional customer service. I can see why you are industry leaders!

Best Rental Providers in Melbourne. Special mention for Fancy Meng, who is hands down one of the best Property Managers in all of Melbourne. She is kind, efficient, professional and a clear communicator. We had a seamless experience during our 2.5 years tenure of renting through them. Highly recommend them.

I’ve had a really great experience with Sissi as my property manager at Ironfish. She’s by far the most responsible and reliable manager I’ve worked with there. Sissi is always prompt in handling issues, communicates clearly, and coordinates with tenants very efficiently. What really stands out is her positive and professional attitude — she’s approachable, proactive, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a property manager you can trust!

Sisi was a very calm and professional. She was great to speak with both over the phone and in person, making the whole process smooth and comfortable. She was helpful, responsive, and made sure all our questions were addressed. Really appreciated her support throughout.
