FAQs
Quick answers to your biggest property management questions.
What makes Wombat Real Estate different from other agents?
At Wombat Real Estate, we’re not just managing properties, we’re looking after your investment as if it were our own burrow. We focus on exceptional property management, clear and timely communication, and genuine care for both owners and tenants.
Unlike many bigger agencies, our Principal, Cavell Cooper, is actively working with our clients and our team of exceptional property managers. There’s no passing the buck. We’re hands-on, proactive, and always on the ground. We combine local market knowledge with strong relationships with trusted tradespeople to keep your property in top condition and performing at its best.
With us, you get more than just routine inspections and rent collection. You get a partner who protects your investment, maximises returns, and keeps everything running smoothly, so you can enjoy peace of mind and a stress-free experience.
How quickly can Wombat take over management of my property from another agent?
Once our management agreement is signed, we’ll reach out to your current property manager and start the transfer process. If they’re on board, we can often have your investment safely tucked into our burrow in just a few days.
That said, Queensland law and most management agreements require a 30-day notice period. This ensures a smooth handover, keeps your tenants happy, and gives everyone time to get things in order. We handle all the details, so your property is well cared for from the moment it joins the Wombat burrow.
What suburbs does Wombat Real Estate service?
From our Bowen Hills HQ, we look after properties across Brisbane, basically anywhere from Logan to Newport and everywhere in between. Our core service area is within 25 km of the office, but we’ve had great success further afield too.
Some of the suburbs we frequently manage properties in include Arana Hills, Fortitude Valley, Bowen Hills, South Brisbane, West End, Brisbane City, Ashgrove, Stafford, Stafford Heights, Everton Park, Clontarf, Mango Hill, Camp Hill, and Coorparoo.
If your suburb isn’t listed, don’t worry, there’s a good chance we already manage a property there, and we’d love to look after yours too.
Do you help with legal compliance and QCAT issues?
Yes. At Wombat Real Estate, we always manage properties with the end in mind. Every action we take follows a clear process and is fully documented to ensure your investment is protected.
We ensure full compliance with Queensland rental laws and proactively manage any issues to prevent disputes. If tribunal action at QCAT is required, we represent you professionally and efficiently, with all the preparation, evidence, and documentation in place to support your case.
With us, you’re not just covered. We’re actively working to minimise risks and safeguard your investment, so you can enjoy peace of mind.
Can I access my information online?
Yes. With our 24/7 Owner Portal and our Owner and Tenant App, you have real-time access to everything about your investment burrow. Check rent payments, maintenance requests, and lease updates anytime, anywhere, so you’re always in the loop.
How many properties do you manage?
As a boutique property management agency, we deliberately keep our portfolio small, with around 75 properties per property manager. This allows us to provide hands-on, proactive management and exceptional support for every investment burrow.
For context, a typical property manager in Brisbane often looks after 150 to 250 properties, which can make it difficult to provide the same level of personalised service and attention to detail. At Wombat Real Estate, your property never gets lost in the crowd.
