The Property Management Agency All Shire Investors Should Know About
“We do one thing, and we do it really well.”
Nathan Smith & Kate Phillips, Birdie Property
Have you ever had a property manager go MIA? Having an investment property in your portfolio is an achievement, but it comes with many moving parts. Managing an investment property is complex, especially amongst everyday chaos, which makes having someone you can trust on your team absolutely vital.
Let’s try this: how many of you have had your property manager fall off the radar when you need them most? Or are there missing inspection reports and a lack of rent reviews? Or was the agent you originally signed on with replaced by someone you’ve never met, with no sufficient handover? Bringing decades of experience and an honesty-first approach to the Shire’s investment property market, if you found yourself nodding along to any of the above, Birdie Property is the team you need on side.

As a property management firm, Birdie connects their clients with a high calibre of meticulously vetted tennants, fostering and simplifying the rental process from the start and ensuring it’s a sustainable fit. But the real beauty of Birdie Property is their personalised offering, says Kate.
“We specialise in property management only. We do one thing and we do it really well,” says Kate Phillips, Director of Birdie Property. Instead of having their fingers in too many pies, so to speak, Birdie Property invests time, expertise and money back into their clients, rather than focusing on the “big bucks” of sales.
“I’m the Principal, but I’m on the ground doing things myself - I'm the person that's responsible at the end of the day.”
“Building relationships is possibly my favourite part. I have a thorough onboarding process that involves frequent updates. Ongoing, I check in at the property every 6 months at a minimum, without fail, but catch up with clients every three months or so - and not just when there’s an issue.”
Despite being a bespoke agency, birdie property prioritises premium marketing and has access to a database of tenants who are actively searching for properties.
And now, to the nitty gritty. Fees. Although Birdie’s offering is a premium one that focuses on long-term satisfaction over quick gains, they keep fees low across the board, matching competitors and larger agencies, Kate explains.
