What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Leasing-focused property management for Melbourne landlords and renters is the core of this Fitzroy business, and feedback gathered across fifteen detailed accounts centres on the work of Nikita and Megan. Several customers describe Nikita as quick to respond, one noting she was the first agent to make contact after an initial enquiry and had inspected the property, provided a rental appraisal and arranged photography within a week. Reviewers often mention her attention to detail, honesty and willingness to keep landlords informed, including phone calls after every inspection, so that no one needed to chase updates.

New tenants recall feeling guided and valued from the first inspection through to signing a lease and moving in, with the process described as supportive and welcoming. Owners appreciate the deliberate concentration on leasing rather than sales, which they say means a dedicated manager rather than a side interest. Long-standing clients speak to seven years of continuous service, first with Nikita and more recently with Megan, who is credited with carrying on the same proactive communication and care. Landlords re-leasing highlight the preparation advice and guidance that helped secure suitable tenants quickly, even when market conditions were difficult.

Val and Nikita were exceptional with their conduct while my partner and I were in communication with them for a rental property. Highly responsive via comms, happy to assist through the application process and overall, the kind of service you can only dream of with REA.

Tenants be warned. These ladies do not play nice! We were evicted over Christmas time, and moved out to receive a $10,000 "repairs" quote and a nice threat to go to VCAT. Long story short, they had zero actual evidence (Not even an exit report) we got all the bond back and didn't go to VCAT (drawn out as long as they possibly could) Emergency repairs were challenged illegally by the director herself, saying we "Didn't use the listed tradesman, therefore we have to pay" again we challenged and won. Sent dodgy shared water bills from Living Melbourne trying to get us to pay for some random water bills. Again, challenged and won. Remember, if they ring you, it's probably dodgy, make them send an email. (Hi Nikita) Hilarious. Classic real estate agents.

Living Property have been wonderful to deal with. My contact is Megan, she makes sure that the tenants are happy, and keeps on top of the numerous regulatory changes to Landlord / Tenant agreements. This means I dont have to keep track of all the regulations, and the tenants are satisfied to stay. Such a relief!

As first time renters, for the past four years now, we couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more professional experience. From our very first inspection to signing the lease and moving in, the team especially Megan and Nikita was supportive, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail gave us great confidence as new renters. We truly appreciate how easy they made the whole process and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy rental agency.

After a frustrating experience with a major property management provider, I wanted a partner who was hands-on, accessible, and strategic. Nikita helped prepare our property for re-leasing, listening to my ideas and providing the guidance needed to achieve an exceptional result. Her communication, accessibility, and candour truly set Living Melbourne Property apart from mainstream agencies.

I reached out to a number of agencies in the area and Nikita got in contact the quickest. By 10am the next day, she had come over and seen my place, given an appraisal of the area and what I could expect to receive in rent and by the week after she had organised photos of the place and it was on the market. Had a tenant by the week after that. Responsive, efficient and approachable - couldn't recommend her enough. The management fees are slightly higher that some other agencies, but i think its worth it for the service they provide.

We’ve had our property managed by Nikita and her team at Living Melbourne for the past two years after being badly mistreated by a large franchise agency (rhymes with Bingle Farthers). From the very beginning, Nikita and her team helped us resolve a difficult end-of-lease situation where significant damage had been done to our apartment. What started as a nightmare quickly turned into a dream thanks to their support. Since then, the Living Melbourne team has continued to look after our property with professionalism and care. They seamlessly handled an end of lease, organising reletting, exit inspections, and everything in between without any downtime for us. They’ve consistently anticipated our needs and proactively managed the property as true professionals. A huge thank you to Nikita, Megan, and the entire Living Melbourne team — we couldn’t be happier, highly recommended!
