Dedicated focus
Your property is managed by a team whose primary responsibility is rental performance and care.

Specialist property management
Property management done properly.
D&J is focused on protecting your property, supporting your renters and improving the long-term performance of your investment.
Property management isn’t one department within our business—it is our established core.
Why specialist management matters
Your property deserves to be the main focus.
Many traditional real estate agencies are built primarily around property sales, with property management operating as a separate department. At D&J, property management is the business.
Our systems, team, training and communication are built specifically around rental properties. Your investment receives consistent attention—not only when it is being leased or when something goes wrong.
Proactive communication
We keep you informed and raise issues before they become larger problems.
Legislative confidence
We help you navigate Victorian rental laws, safety requirements and minimum standards.
Long-term thinking
Decisions are considered in the context of protecting the property and maintaining its future value.
What we manage for you
Care across the entire rental journey.
From preparing the property for market to the day-to-day detail of an established tenancy, D&J keeps the important work connected.

Considering a change?
Switching property managers is easier than you may expect.
Once appointed, D&J can contact your current agency, arrange the transfer of records and keys, review the tenancy documentation and introduce our team to the renter. We manage the transition carefully and minimise disruption.

Paul MarollasFrequently asked questions
What rental providers ask us.
01What does D&J’s property management service include?
We manage the full rental journey—from appraisal, marketing and renter selection through to rent collection, inspections, maintenance, compliance, renewals and reporting.
02How do I change property managers?
Once appointed, D&J can contact your current agency, arrange the transfer of records and keys, review the tenancy documentation and introduce our team to the renter.
03Do I need to wait until the lease expires?
Usually, no. A management authority can generally be transferred during a tenancy, subject to the terms of your current management agreement. We can review the position with you before anything changes.
04How do you select renters?
We assess each application carefully, complete reference and affordability checks, and present the relevant information so you can make an informed decision.
05How often will my property be inspected?
We schedule inspections in line with Victorian requirements and the needs of the tenancy, then provide a clear report with photographs and recommendations.
06How do you manage maintenance and compliance?
We coordinate repairs, communicate recommendations and help rental providers stay ahead of minimum standards and required gas, electrical and smoke-alarm safety checks.
