What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Rental oversight of apartments and houses is the strand that surfaces most often in feedback for this agency, with long-standing owners crediting Mel for dependable management over several years. Customers in several reviews describe how she secures suitable tenants, arranges maintenance without fuss and keeps communication clear before and after each decision, which owners say removes the day-to-day worry of holding an investment.

Her friendly, approachable manner and knowledge of the local rental market come through repeatedly. Alongside that, reviewers name Adam Keys and Angie Croy for their professionalism, work ethic and understanding of the Main Beach area, noting quick responses to questions and careful negotiation. Julia Keen is credited with a calm, unhurried approach, punctual attendance and immediate follow-up, including handling a purchase complicated by an existing tenancy.

Marketing presentation also features, with photography and a swift launch to market mentioned in accounts of apartment sales, along with straightforward open inspections. One thing mentioned again and again is how promptly requests are fielded from first enquiry through to settlement, with tenants and owners alike describing the process as uncomplicated. Repeat business and referrals from past clients appear throughout the feedback, and the gift sent after settlement is remembered warmly.

We have had the pleasure of having our property managed by Mel for the past six years, and the service has been exceptional from day one. Mel has always been professional, reliable, and proactive, giving us complete peace of mind that our investment is in excellent hands. Communication has always been prompt and transparent, maintenance issues are handled efficiently, and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure both we and our tenants are well looked after. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing outstanding service. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional property management team. Thank you for everything over the past six years! Your the best Mel!

Mel managed the unit my partner and I rented for 5 years, only to decide she wanted to move herself and her entire family in. After being offered a 12 month lease renewal in writing, our request for the approval of a pet was used against us to terminate the offer. When we mentioned we would prefer to remain at the property without a pet, we were then told the owner was relocating from interstate and moving back into the unit. We relocated to another unit within the same complex and the day after we handed her back the keys, I observed Mel and her entire family moving in. Upon learning we were now neighbors, we were advised in writing by Mel that 'the cat saga' was the reason to end our tenancy, and that she had been offered the lease. This is a direct quote from her email correspondence and one of many email trails that I have saved to verify my statements. I would not trust this woman to manage a property, and renters be wary. Keys Reality and their Director, condone this unethical behavior. After escalating to both the landlord and Keys Realty, I was threatened and dismissed by Keys Realty. Suggest doing your business elsewhere.

Have used Mel as our property manager over many years. Mel is outstanding to deal with, and makes our life easy, without having to worry about our GC property. Mel always finds excellent tenants, then manages the property taking care of whatever needs to be done. Even better, she's always a delight to deal with, and goes out of her way to assist us. We consider ourselves fortunate to have Mel as our property manager.

Just wanted to give some very solid feedback about Adam Keys of Keys Realty Main Beach. My partner and I recently settled on a property in Main Beach and the entire process was 5 star from purchase to settlement. We also received a lovely gift from the team which was appreciated. We would highly recommend Keys Realty and specifically Adam if you are looking to sell or buy a property in the near future! Thanks Karl & Carol

We worked with Angie Croy and Adam Keys to sell our Main Beach apartment. Extremely professional and hard working and got the job done. They are very knowledgeable on the Main Beach area.
