"THANKS AGAIN FOR CARE+AFFECTION U BESTOW ON OUR PROPERTY+PETS!"
This quote best sums up gratitude expressed by all local, interstate and overseas property owners we've assisted.
Spring 2024 onwards, we're happy to assist throughout NSW, QLD & VIC. Advanced to short notice enquiries, all good :)
We've relished caring for rural, coastal, and downtown properties. Conventional homes to elaborate dwellings, properties for sale, heritage-listed, stations, caretaker roles and more, all memorable assignments.
We provide peace of mind with regular property and animal-status email/text updates/photos, whilst managing your property in our well practiced, low wear and tear, discreet conduct, no-fuss manner.
With a demonstrated trustworthy track record, we're fortunate to have assisted dozens of like-minded people entrusting us with their prized homes and pets. Expanding such encounters continues to excite us.
We're a conscientious and active couple, equipped with a broad range of house and property maintenance, management, plus animal-care skills. Two decades plus, of exercising these skills on a wide variety property styles has rewarded us with willing owner references, encouraging reviews, and multiple repeat property-care requests.
