Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been renting at Centenary Approach for nearly 7 years and have really enjoyed the peaceful environment and excellent location, with easy access to the train, major motorways, local shops, parks, and Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre. A special mention to the complex manager, Tom, who has been exceptional—always responsive, helpful with maintenance requests, noise issues, rental matters, and even lost parcels. Overall, a very positive renting experience and highly recommended.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I rented through Centenary Approach for 3 years and had a wonderful experience. The community is friendly and we have made good friends with many of the residents in the complex. Tom was a fantastic property manager; he was extremely helpful with any issues that arose, efficient and effective. Tom was always friendly and professional, and had great communication with us throughout the years. Tom also does an exceptional job at maintaining the entire complex, gardens and property itself. If I was a homeowner, I would trust Tom to manage my property.

I cannot recommend him enough. We lived there for 5 years and never had an issue that wasn’t easily fixed or rectified upon request.

Brisbane Property Management Success Stories
Mr/Ms. Jain
(1)Too many call out fee from tradies and Property Maintenance costs is too high (2)The previous property manager do not have knowledge of maintenance and do not check any maintenance issues by themselves and they are just email messenger
Centenary Approach always visit the property and check the maintenance requests first and report to the solution to the owners and often repair the problem by themselves with cheaper rate
Ms. Valerie
Low quality routine inspection. When the owner came for the inspection and there were so many damages and strong tobacco smells but not reported to the owners and very slow reply from the property manager
Centenary Approach’s response are fast and good & easy communicator. The routine inspection report and email has points and give the good solutions so it is easy to make decision
Mr. Yasu
The drain of air conditioner is blocked and the property manager ask the owner to replace a new air conditioner and the owner found out it is fixable after the conversation with Tom, The property manager believed their contractors too much as they do not have enough knowledge and did not go to the property with tradies
The previous property manager organized their contractor to fix the problem but could not solve the problem and the owners have to replace the whole brand-new air conditioner. Centenary Approach has explained another way to fix this problem and the owner understand that Centenary Approach has a lot of knowledge to save the money. We often go to our client’s property with tradie to understand it
