My daughter and I have shared our rental home for three years with your agency and have always had pleasant dealings with and prompt service from our lovely property-manager Janette McKillop.

Thank you, Janette for helping us to take care of the property and for your friendly service.

I purchased in a sellers' market. Toby's communication with me was timely, efficient and genuine. A few hurdles came up in the process, but all were overcome without delaying the settlement date. I can only assume the same experience for the seller as either of us could have walked away from the contract. Customer service will always get you further than technology.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Toby on the sale of my property. The team were very helpful, provided guidance on what should be attended to prior to sale to get the best result. Extremely happy with the final result and it sold incredibly fast! A lot faster than I expected. Thanks to all the team at Doug Disher Real Estate and especially to Toby for all his advice and the successful sale of the property!

Ivoni Mahi supported us very patiently and effectively throughout our rental property search. She has the customer-centric approach of doing her job. She is and will definitely be a great asset for her employer. I wish her all the best.

Jaclyn Lazarou from Doug Disher Real Estate made renovating and leasing my recently purchased unit a smooth and pleasant experience.
Jaclyn has great contacts such as trades people and handymen who were able to quickly do high quality renovation work for me at a very reasonable price.
She couldn't have been more helpful or provided more assistance to me while I was renovating my unit.
As soon as the renovation work was completed Jaclyn quickly rented out my unit for a very acceptable amount.
I highly recommend Jaclyn Lazarou to anyone looking for an exceptional property manager to lease out their property.

Charlotte Young has been the property manager of the townhouse I have rented for several years. Charlotte is always helpful and easy to work with.
The Doug Disher team go the extra mile too - once on a Friday afternoon, minutes before end of the business day I came home to find the garage door not working (including manually). One of the Doug Disher team came to the property and fixed it for me (with their own knowhow).
It was a relief to have the security for the weekend.

Doug Dishers have been our rental property managers for 18 years and have always provided timely, cost competitive, courteous and appropriate service. When it came time to sell the property we sought their advice
and definitely made the right choice of agents. They provided a range of options, supported by analysis and their experience. At our request they arranged some refurbishment and repair work to be done. They coordinated the tradies and suppliers and the work was done promptly, to a high standard and at a reasonable
cost. The sale realised well above our asking price and our expectations.

Well done Doug, Toby and the team. We have no hesitation in recommending you and will
certainly use you again.

We had listed rental of our home with other real estate agency who was struggling to get the house leased for 4 weeks. We later involved Jaclyn and once Jaclyn took over, we felt relieved as she was able to get many inspection done asap, got few applications and secured tenant in just 3-4 days who also moved in in 4 days after. Jaclyn did thorough review of our home, suggested us much needed (legally) fixes, arranged that for us and got that done before tenant moved in.

Jaclyn was always available to us. I never had a moment where I felt she didn't understand our needs. She is hard working, passionate BDM who understands the market, people and gets her job done.

We can't thank Jaclyn enough for her amazing work. Highly recommend her and the Doug Disher real estate!

I am a student who has just arrived in Australia, which has resulted in me not having a local rental record in Australia. This makes it very difficult for me to find a suitable house to rent. Charlotte and her team helped me find the house I wanted. They are a professional, and thoughtful team.

A very big thank you to Toby, Doug and the DDRE team for managing our rental unit for 22 years, as well as its very recent sale.

The DDRE team have been always very professional, efficient, and practical over the years; understanding the rental market, managing tenant concerns and unit wear and tear. When it came time to sell, Toby and Doug and their team know and understand the market so well. They provided us with practical presentation advice, great support for prepping the unit for sale, kept us up to date with preparation progress, as well as great communication during the sale, and their efforts resulted in our unit selling within a couple of days. They could not have been more helpful to us.

Thank you again, so appreciated. We wish you all well for the future and thank you for making our investment unit ownership and sale such a positive experience.

This is my first time renting a house. The service provided by this agency is very considerate. I am especially grateful for Ivoni's enthusiastic help. My daughter likes her very much. She is very enthusiastic and cheerful. It made me feel very warm all of a sudden. I feel very warm in a foreign country. I am also grateful for the help of new friends such as Chris. Their service is very professional. Thank you.

Janette has been looking after 3 of our Brisbane properties and I have only positive things to say about her professionalism, efficiency, and management. She keeps us up to date, she manages all aspects of our tenancies and takes the pressure off us. We live in Cairns so knowing Janette is managing everything for us is a great relief. Thanks for your efforts and support.

From past experience as Secretary for a Body Corporate, I have found Janette McKillop stands head and shoulders above other property managers who have managed apartments in our complex.

Prior to tenants moving in, Janette will make sure every 'i' is dotted and 't' is crossed regarding all issues with moving in - power supply, internet access, parking, lift accessibility etc. From my perspective from that day on, her professionalism continues with a genuine interest in the wellbeing of her tenants, the apartment owner and anyone else involved.

I'm sure Janette would be highly regarded by owners of any residential properties she managed, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone seeking a top property manager.

Never before have we had a more personable and professional property manager. Charlotte Young from Doug Disher Real Estate looked after our Toowong rental property for three years, and our interaction has always been pleasant and professional. Any rental issues were always addressed promptly, and professionally. We feel very glad and fortunate to have had Charlotte Young from Dough Disher as our property manager over those tree years.

Hey Ivoni, thankyou for the warm &friendly inspection - that made the ultimate difference in being able to get a rental place within 2 days of inspection. It was record time for us (lol). What an unbeatable task it had been for the Doug Disher team in being able to deliver a quick turnaround for my family and I, & to be able to receive keys within 2 days of inspection, is nothing short of outstanding and very professional. Thankyou Doug Disher Team

Exceptional professional experience. Toby Disher went above and beyond in his real estate knowledge of the area, advised of all outgoings to consider and was totally up to date on the recent history of the building.
Notching was too much trouble for Toby to investigate or to attend to on my behalf as the purchaser.
I wish I could use Toby for all of my real estate dealings throughout Australia, my mind would then be at rest.
Can’t recommend Toby highly enough.

We are very happy that with the help of Ivoni and Jaclyn, we found a house that we are satisfied with and can finally move into our new home. Thanks to Ivoni for patiently waiting for me and my husband to inspection separately twice so we didn't miss it, and after that, special thanks to Jaclyn for guiding us step by step through all the process and keeping us informed of the progress, we all obviously felt that Doug Disher was much better than other companies of the same type in the whole process in terms of comprehensive service ability, and we sincerely hope that anyone who needs it will be able to meet a team like them and get the accommodation they want.

I had a wonderful experience with the Doug Disher Real Estate team. This being my first time renting a unit, their assistance was invaluable right from day one. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Chris Woodford, who serves as the property manager. His consistently prompt responses and helpfulness have truly left a positive impression on me. I am optimistic that my tenancy will continue to progress smoothly until its conclusion. A big thanks to Chris and the entire Doug Disher team.

A big shoutout to Charlotte! As a tenant, I've had an amazing experience dealing with her. Some real estate agents and property managers can be really unpleasant to deal with and they treat tenants poorly, Doug Disher's team is a breath of fresh air. They genuinely care about tenants and are always ready to assist. Charlotte, in particular, has been incredibly fair, responsive, and professional. She's been so kind that I'd feel bad if I didn't get back to her promptly. Hopefully, if I'm back in the area, I'll have the chance to deal with the team again.

A great team to rent through honestly, efficient and responsive, it has actually been pleasant renting with Janette and her team. Shout out to Ivoni, she made inspections easy, and was lovely to chat with, offering a lot of assistance and great advice towards the end of our lease, it made moving easier and our exit more manageable, which is needed in the current market.

I would like to thank the Doug Disher residential leasing team, particularly Charlotte and Chris. They quickly processed my rental application, which saved me the cost of staying at a hotel when I first came to Australia. When I need to consult, they respond to emails promptly and patiently provide professional advice. This is a team you can trust. I would highly recommend Doug Disher Real Estate to anyone who need to rent a good property.
