Jo Dougherty

Lynne & Alvin Wood

Jo Dougherty has been managing an investment property for us in Eagleby for the last eight years. During that time we have found Jo to be an effective and efficient manager. She has never failed to inform us of any issues requiring our attention. She is totally reliable. We know that when she says she will follow something up, she does. Although capable of making her own decisions she always ensures we are aware of repairs that need doing and potential costs especially the most reasonable cost. She interacts well with tradespeople always ensuring that we have received value for money. We wish Jo all the very best in her future career and we would have no hesitation in supporting Jo in any position requiring self-motivation, honesty and management of property.

Jo, thank you for doing such a great job managing my property up in Eagleby. I really appreciate your great efforts. Thanks,

Alan.

Johanna Dougherty has been known to me for the past 4 years. I have bought several investment properties in Eagleby through Greenacres Realty where Johanna is the Sales and Property Manager. As a first time investor 4 years ago, Johanna’s professionalism, care and advice through the maze of legal requirements needed to purchase the property was invaluable. Johanna offered the same expertise and care with my subsequent purchases in Eagleby. Throughout my dealings with Johanna I have found her to be a most sincere person of good character and integrity. She is extremely professional, helpful, caring and nothing seems to be too much for her in helping me with the often difficult job of finding workmen to solve the usual array of problems that arise in investment properties. This is especially important for me as an interstate investor, where the management of my properties would be an impossible task. Without the personal care that Johanna gives to me in screening for the right tenants, maintenance of my properties, prompt contact with any problems and continual updates on the progress of my properties, I would not be able to continue to invest interstate. I have no hesitation in recommending Johanna Dougherty as a person of impeccable character and integrity.

On behalf of myself and my wife I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being so dedicated to the task of managing our property here at Eagleby over the last number of years. It has been somewhat of a problem at times in different ways, but we could always count on you to come through. The tenants that you have placed in our unit have obviously been of good stature as the condition of the town house was in an excellent condition. This was quite surprising, considering the age of the property. Once again, thank you all for the work you have done and we wish everyone at Greenacres every success for the future.

We are very pleased to write in reference to the performance of Ms Johanna Dougherty, of Greenacre Realty, with whom we have had a number of business dealings over the last four years. Whether as prospective buyers or as property owners, we have always found Ms Dougherty to be extremely professional, proficient and courteous. She has always been willing to put in the time necessary to achieve the best result for all parties. Her professionalism and honesty has meant that we have always felt reassured that we can contact her if any problems should arise and that they will be dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. We have had no hesitation in recommending her to friends and colleagues who have also found her performance to be more than satisfactory.

I first became acquainted with Johanna in November 2002 when I purchased a property in River Hills Rd, Eagleby, which had been advertised by Greenacres Real Estate, a local agency. The property consisted of 8 brick and tile cottages, some 7 or 8 years old, constructed on a 5000 square meter block. It was a fair sized property and consequently there were a considerable number of enquiries, formalities, inspections and the like to be accomplished prior to settlement on December 9th 2002. As we proceeded into this process it became increasingly obvious that the motivating force in the Agency was Johanna, the Office Manager. Subsequent to completion my Solicitors commented on her efficiency, the expedience with which she conducted the Agency’s affairs and also the fact that it had been a positive pleasure to work with her. In the years that followed the agency managed the property for me and we became not merely business associates but in due course, I like to think, good friends. The properties were at first all tenanted and Johanna presided over the operation, which included several tenancy changes, with great aplomb and to my perfect satisfaction. She was meticulous in her selection of tenants and we had virtually zero problems with her choices. However in due course I began to sell off the cottages one by one and it was here that Johanna’s advice and guidance were invaluable. She presided over the sales with a piercing eye for potential trouble makers, a most important skill in these multiple dwelling situations where personalities can present large scale problems when they get out of hand. In due course 5 out of the 8 cottages were sold off and I retain 3 as in investment. These sales evidenced the fact that Johanna has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Real Estate in all its many facets. She handled the sales seemingly effortlessly and again to me and my solicitors total satisfaction. Sadly the owner of the Agency decided to move it from Eagleby to Marsden and consequently we parted company. However in conclusion I would like to comment that in a long life of dealing with Real Estate investments I have never met her peer in the pursuit of this most demanding profession……..She is a gem……..I am available for and further comment or enlargement which might be required.

We left Australia to work overseas in 2006. We gave our most precious asset to the Professionals to take care of – our home. From then until now the Professionals have lived up to their name. Being overseas sometimes seemed so far away, and we were naturally a little concerned. However, I am glad to say that everything has been taken care of in a professional manner. Since we have had such good service from the Professionals, we added our first investment property to their care a couple of years later. That too has been looked after as well as anyone could expect – and our standards are not low! Our primary contact for the past few years has been Jo Dougherty. She has always been pleasant to work with and has taken good care of our properties. She is prompt with letting us know if there is any issue with one of our properties and makes good logical recommendations on what course of action to take. If you were going to place a property under the Professionals care in Beenleigh or surrounding suburbs we have no hesitation recommending her as your property manager of choice. Overall, the Professionals are a great choice for anyone who is considering which agency to use. The whole team has been polite, courteous and extremely prompt with all of our dealings with them.

I would like to say how happy we are with the way your office and Jo have managed our property for the last six months. Also for organising new tenants so quickly in the last few weeks. I like the way you always keep me informed about anything in regards to our property.
