My experience as a tenant with Doyle Spillane has been most pleasant from the very start. There was no attitude and there was a lot of attention, flexibility and assistance throughout the process starting with me first inspecting the property. I can highly recommend Doyle Spillane Dee Why services to any landlords wanting to secure a good tenant.

Five Star Agent

Very Professional Leasing team and skilled in the field leading by Joe Iemma. My apartment has been managed by Doyle Spillane since 2010 the date I bought it. I have never had a thought to change agency. Very happy and stress-free letting experiences. They always maintain the landlord interest at heart and with great reports for landlord, just what you want from an agent.

So Helpful

How refreshing when moving into my new premises to find a "goodie" bag from Doyle & Spillane containing (amongst other things) tea bags, chocolates, biscuits etc. Which other agency does that! The agency staff were most helpful too and the whole process was seamless.

Extremely Efficient

I have found Doyle Spillane are a very helpful and quick with advise when a problem occurred. In particular, Lauren Anderson is a great asset to the Company. With a problem that occurred regarding a maintenance issue she liaised with the Strata Manager, the tenant, and lastly myself and was extremely efficient in solving the issue.

Lauren's assistance during the transition period between tenants has been amazing and has made everything so easy for Patricia and myself, she has handled herself very professionally and also empathetic to our needs.

He has been great through the whole leasing process. He even dropped over the condition report personally which I thought was great, always good to put a face to a name. He's very quick to reply to e-mails and very helpful.

Testimonial from Arena Family, Collaroy Plateau
Doyle Spillane have always found us lovely considerate tenants that look after our rentals.

Our family has been dealing Joe and his team, Justen and Ali as well as Matt over the past 18 years. Most recently they have let two of our properties at Dee Why and Collaroy Plateau. Doyle Spillane have always found us lovely considerate tenants that look after our rentals. Joe is always available to discuss any of our rental queries at the drop of a hat as is Matt when we are asking property advice. We are very happy with the quality service we receive from all the team at DS from reception to leasing to sales team.

Testimonial from Steve North
Communication has been excellent and the quality of tenants very good.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the exceptional service that you and your firm have provided while the unit was under your management. Communication has been excellent and the quality of tenants very good. We looked at the unit on Sunday and can see no deterioration since Sharon moved out almost two years ago. We will definitely use Doyle Spillane again in the future.

Testimonial from Dr Charles Schofield
From A to Z they have an appropriate form, standard letter and response for every conceivable issue or problem that is likely to occur.

They know the Northern Beaches rental market extremely well - this translates to consistently high rental returns that you can guarantee will move in step with market changes.

lf you are new to property investment or are simply looking to change your managing agent and are seeking peace of mind; then do yourself a favour, place your property in the hands of Joe lemma and his property management team at Doyle Spillane Real Estate. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr Charles Schofield
Testimonial from
Joe lemma and his property team at Doyle Spillane are the real deal.

Doyle Spillane Real Estate have been custodians of Watermark (26 x 2 Bed unit complex on Narrabeen Beach) for the past 8 years. A responsibility they have risen to and executed with true professionalism and attention to detail. What makes the Doyle Spillane approach to property management different? Firstly, they actually do care about the end result. They select the right tenants for the individual property and manage them appropriately. Rent arrears are never allowed to go out by more than two weeks. They pro-actively monitor property condition and suggest an appropriate course of action. Secondly, they employ a unique systematic approach to the entire process.

Hi Steve, I am writing to say thanks and acknowledge the great support I have received from Ashlea.

Doyle Spillane has been looking after a property of mine for over 10 years now. I have recently taken this back as my daughter is moving in for a while. Ashlea has been fantastic in helping me to manage the transition – way beyond the call of duty. When we revert to this property to being an investment property again we will definitely give it back to Doyle Spillane to manage. So thank you!

Testimonial from Sue Burgess
Dear Joe, Just a short ‘note’ of sincere thanks to you for taking such good care looking after your rentals and ours too!

Dear Property Management team.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say that we are extremely pleased with the very professional way that you have looked after this for us. You have kept in contact throughout and have taken control and managed it perfectly which has been superb, particularly given our absence overseas for most of the time. While we have not enjoyed the experience of the problem, we can't have been happier with your assistance and guidance throughout it all. Thank you so much.

Testimonial from Louise and David Millward
Dear Property Management Team, As we didn't see you to speak to you in person we thought we'd email to extend our appreciation for your professional, helpful conduct.

It was a pleasure dealing with you. At some point in the future we'll be in touch again.

Louise and David Millward
I’d like to say that you’ve been the most pleasant of all agents we’ve spoken to and believe me when I say I feel like I’ve spoken to every agent in Sydney!

Your professionalism and general motivation to lease a property is the best in Sydney!

Kym
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Doyle and Spillane as a renter for the past couple of years, in particular Melanie Hodge the Property Manager.

Melanie is always friendly and helpful and a real pleasure to deal with. Doyle and Spillane has always been involved in the community, which speaks volumes about the type of company they are. Hopefully I will have dealings with the company again, this time as a purchaser - (fingers crossed within the next year!)

Amanda Holland
Just a note to thank you, Justen and Ali for your professional attitude and advice during the leasing process for 7 Blandford Street.

I was so impressed with Justen and his enthusiasm and perseverance, and of course Ali with her follow ups. I do sing the praises of your Agency every chance I get. Thanks again

Beth
Good Afternoon Doyle Spillane Team, My wife and I have been renting one of your properties (Cassia St, Dee Why) for the past 12 months and have had Ali Hand as our rental agent.

From the very beginning dealing with Ali has been a pleasure. We have rented many properties over the years and have always had mixed experiences but Ali stands head and shoulders above the rest. She has been honest, attentive, responsive and diligent. After purchasing a property recently we are now moving out but wanted you to all know what a great job she has done. You are lucky to have an employee like Ali.

Testimonial from Jill & John Livingstone
Dear Joe, We purchased our investment property with the help of Stephen Doyle in 1990 for the princely sum of $159,000- sorry we didn’t buy a couple more.

Over the intervening 27 years, Doyle Spillane has managed the unit to our complete satisfaction. From your point of view, there has not been much to do as we have had only four tenants, with John Rowan the last and he was there for 19 years. As you may know, John sadly passed away recently which meant we had to call on the resources of your firm.

We are pleased to inform you that we have dealt with a highly professional, efficient & friendly team. In deciding what refurbishment was required, organizing trades people and suppliers, dealing with the body corporate and managing some insurance matters, Sam Vescio and Nicola Smith have provided excellent service.

When it came to finding suitable tenants, Lauren Anderson has been diligent in finding people that met our brief. She kept us fully informed on all developments which we found very reassuring. Although we have no interest in selling, we were curious to find a market valuation. Geoff Harris responded within 48 hours with a comprehensive report.

You must feel very satisfied in being at the forefront of a first class business. Finally, please pass on our regards to Stephen. After weeks of searching with no success, Stephen found us the right property within a couple of days.

Wishing you and your team every success in the future.

Jill & John Livingstone
Thank you Rebecca for your prompt and professional service.

Your advice was timely and we are very happy you found us the tenants in such a short period of time.

Rod de la Harpe Sheargold property Group
The reason I wanted to drop you a line was to mention the fact that I work as a Relocation Consultant with Crown Relocations and have recently had the pleasure of working with Rebecca Bower.

She is currently the property manager for 6 Bedford Crescent Collaroy, where I have placed a lovely German family. Rebecca is cool, calm and very professional and has been a joy to work with and I only hope she remains in property management. Please pass on my comments as I thought a letter to the boss was of more benefit than a bunch of flowers.

Testimonial from Leanna
Hi Joe, I would like to thank you and your team for the wonderful work you have done since you took over management of our investment property.

Despite the issues we had with the previous tenants, you and your team have taken care of all the difficult conversations, the repair jobs, and kept us in the loop the whole time.

My husband and I have both found the process very easy and stress free.

The quality of your service is exceptional compared to the previous agent we were using, I can definitely see a huge difference. For example, the ingoing condition report was very detailed and thorough.

I have found every interaction with you and your office, whether verbal or written to be very professional and easy for us as clients, so thank you very much!

Leanna
Testimonial from Jann DP
I am very pleased with the consistently excellent work Doyle Spillane do.

Not only do they look after me, they also take great care of my tenants needs which is so very important to any landlord.

I have used Doyle Spillane as the property managers for my Northern Beaches unit for the last 4 years. All requests, either from myself or my tenants, have always been attended to promptly. Accounts are always accurate. and they always find excellent tradespeople. Scheduled actions, such as inspections and lease renewals, are always on time and performed in full detail.

Doyle Spillane have excellent knowledge of fair rents in the area and have always found very good tenants for me. As I am away from Australia much of the time, they have been wonderful with attending to some extra jobs that I have needed, which has given me full confidence that my property is being well looked after. All the staff I have ever dealt with have always been very helpful, efficient and knowledgeable.

I would happily recommend Doyle Spillane to anyone looking for quality property managers.

Jann DP
Moving back to the Northern Beaches from Victoria, I was very impressed with the professionalism of Shannon Nicholas.

In handling our application for a rental property, Shannon was both helpful and extremely efficient, making the process smooth and stress free. She was a pleasure to deal with.

Doyle and Spillane make dealing with Real Estate a pleasure.

They are professional, helpful, fair and friendly. Thank you!

Annie Sullivan
I have found the whole experience of working with you through the rental application process to have been very professional.

I very much appreciated the speed with which the application was approved and you have been a pleasure to deal with. The experience so far has been a good one, thank you very much.

Paula Rooney
Im writting to express my appreciation towards Kara's service and kindness.

I was a bit concerned at the start of my search for properties since Im currently living on the Gold Coast and I knee wouldnt be that easy to inspect properties, find a date that would match with my moving date, and etc.

However, Kara made it super easy since our first contact. She has always being very helpful and friendly, showcasing a high level of professionalism and customer service. I didnt have the same experience when contacting other real estate agencies/agents before. They never followed up on my request and didnt showed much interest towards my case.

Im glad Kara was the one helping me and I'll definetely recommend her services to anyone looking for accomodation around the area covered by her.

Rafael Fernandes
Having recent dealings with Kara Bremner regarding leasing a property can I just say what an absolute pleasure.

Kara is a Property Manager "professional" that made the whole process run smoothly. It was transparent, expeditious, and supportive. I would highly recommend Kara and Doyle Spillane Real Estate to manage your property leasing or selling needs. Frist class service!!

Justine Kimi
It was always a pleasure to deal with the staff in general and nothing was ever a problem.

Samantha Vescio is probably the most efficient and professional property manager that I have ever dealt with.

She has a great attitude and always responded to any queries or requests in a very timely manner which in todays world is becoming something of a rarity.

Thanks again Sam, I wish you all the best.

Fantastic Isaac - you are all so professional and pleasure to work with @ Doyle Spillane.

Emma Dose
My daughter signed a rental lease with David today and due to her work travel commitments meant she was out of Sydney throughout most of the process which for most agencies would have been too complicated to contemplate.

David provided EXCEPTIONAL service, was totally informed answering all queries promptly and completed the entire process from inspection to lease signing in 36 hours. Thank you to you and David for an initial experience that has exceeded all previous experiences with the real estate industry.

Bryan Luke
You are welcome thank you for your time and professional approach.

I will certainly keep your business as a first point of contact in future. Thank you for your kind offer and look forward to do some business with your company in the future. It is good to know that company's like yours are setting the service standards to the highest level in the area.
