Awesome Job Matthew
"When looking for a real estate agent to rent out my place I got Matthew's Hanlon's name from someone who I trust, so was confident he would do a good job. Spoke to him on Tuesday, he organise a photographer in on Sunday (the only day i had free) Open day on the following Wednesday and rented out that night. But the most important thing was getting a tenant who would appreciate my place and look after it like i would. I'm confident Matthew got the right person for my place. Thanks Matthew Hanlon"

Billy | Landlord

"I have been renting from Marriott Lane for a few years. Matthew Hanlon has been my property manager. Whenever there has been an issue with the property he has responded quickly. He is professional when organizing inspections and respectful when communicating. The only reason I no longer rent through ML is because I relocated. If I ever move back to the area I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks for making life easy, especially in the current rental market!"
Elle Freeman | Tenant

"This is the best property management company and their senior property manager Matthew is absolute key to this. Matthew has managed our flat for 15 years and knows exactly how to do this job to perfection. He suggests the tenants, he does the inspections and follows up on everything that is needed. He knows the flat and I think he genuinely cares about the property and his clients (both tenants and owners). I can also say that I do have other managers for other properties (not in Sydney) and these other property managers are not even in the same league as Matthew. We always explain to them how we want the job done (using Matthew as a reference) but non of the can do the same quality job. If you are in need of someone managing your property then Marriot Lane is the place to go to. You will never go anywhere else! Thank you, Matthew and Marriott Lane."
Hanna Hahn | Landlord

"The best agent. Matthew was my agent for 3.5 years and every step of the way was courteous, helpful and prompt. I’ve dealt with many agents as a renter in the past who always seem to cause trouble at all times but not with Marriott Lane. I am also a landlord in another country, and would absolutely recommend Marriott Lane for tenants and landlords due to their professionalism."
Paul Sands | Tenant

Johan | Tenant

"If I could give 10 stars to Matthew Hanlon I would!!! I have been in the rental market for 13+ years and Matthew is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have had during this time. Matthew has been my Agent for 2+ years & I have just signed a new lease through Matthew because of his stand out management. I believe the difference between Matthew and many other Agents in the industry is that Matthew truly cares about his clients. Matthew communicates well, is prompt to action requests, is friendly and professional at all times. Thank you, Matthew for your ongoing support."

"I've been on both sides of property leasing over the last several years, both as a tenant and an owner. These guys are the best realestate I've ever dealt with in both capacities. Matt Hanlon in particular goes above and beyond to make sure issues are dealt with quickly, and has been amazingly supportive in dealing with a difficult strata and finding good tenants quickly. Highly recommended all round"
Matt Handel

"Matthew Hanlon has been managing my property for the last 3.5 years and he’s the best property manager I’ve come across. He’s picked some really good tenants for me. This has not only made his job easier but also gave me peace of mind. With other agencies I would have about 4 or five property managers during the same period, providing inconsistent services. It’s great to have Matthew for the whole time consistently providing high quality service. He has been with Marriott Lane for 14 years and he took pride in what he does. I definitely recommend Matthew’s service."
A Wang

First time landlord breathing easy!
"I'm a first time landlord so was quite nervous about the whole process but Matthew Hanlon made, and continues to make the "landlord" experience a breeze. I feel secure with him managing my property and his ability to keep me in the loop in a timely, straightforward manner mirrors how I am with my own clients - not too much waffle, friendly and collaborative but guiding and leading all the time. I chose Marriott Lane as I knew they managed other buildings in my block - I've been there for over 15 years so renting out my property was a huge step for me but one that I don't regret at all thanks to Matthew & Marriott Lane."
Amanda | Bridge End, Wollstonecraft

Moreover, his communication through out the process was great, far better than my previous experiences with property managers. Couldn’t recommend Matthew and Marriott Lane highly enough!"

Everything is on time and up to date, and there is complete transparency. Matt is very responsive and helpful whenever i have any queries about the apartment. Living overseas i was slightly nervous thinking about all the bits relating to my apartment - communication, payments, meetings, inspections, tenant concerns, and so on. However, Matt has made it all so simple and easy, and we have seen our fair share of unforeseen issues pop up at the apartment block! but Matt has handled it like the absolute pro that he is - swiftly, responsibly, and flawlessly!

Joe | Morton Street, Wollstonecraft

"I was prompted to seek a new managing agent for our rental property have only recently let it through another agent, with the principal trigger being very poor communication through what turned out to be a long & arduous letting process.

Matthew Hanlon was recommended to me and I am glad we made the switch. His communication hits the right balance in frequency and over-delivers in depth & quality. We couldn't be happier!"

Marg Cooney | Tunks Street, Waverton

"Matt has been an outstanding property manager over the past 12 months. During this time I have been based overseas and left he property in Matt’s very capable hands to manage. He has always been extremely helpful, responsive and professional in regards to my requests and its management. In particular, he conducted routine video inspections of the property which were sent to me overseas so I could see firsthand the condition of the property and stay on top of my investment. This type of service and care for the property was truly appreciated and not attainable at other agencies or through other managers. Matt also looks after properties for two other family members who are equally appreciative and impressed with the job he does looking after their apartments. I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone seeking a property manager and will no doubt seek his services in the future myself when looking to rent out my property again."

Stephen McFarlane | Mindarie street, Lane Cove

"Matthew was constantly in contact with me throughout the process which turned out to be a short time as he was so efficient in getting my place rented. I recommend Matthew to any one wishing to rent their place, he makes the process so easy. Thanks Matt"

Angela Glynn | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"I would like to place on record my appreciation to Matthew Hanlon from Marriott Lane Real Estate for being such an outstanding property manager.

“Trusted Advisor” always striving for excellence in property management would best describe Matthew. On numerous occasions he has gone above and beyond the call of duty to maintain professional relationships with tenants.

Recently Matthew worked tirelessly to secure a new tenant just before my departure overseas. The tenant moved in and immediately had difficulty with the NBN internet provider requiring Strata approval to access the roof space. Matthew stepped in on my behalf and his friendly and courteous professional manner in coordinating with the Owners Corporation/ Strata and tenant, resulted in minimal disruption to the tenant. As the Internet is very much a part of everyday living, it was a win win situation for all, thanks to Matthews’s sterling efforts.

On another occasion our Tenant took a grievance to the NCAT tribunal. Matthew presented a detailed case highlighting the facts and thanks to his superior negotiating skills, agreement was reached with the mediator that the tenant’s case did not have credibility. When the going gets tough, the true colours of an experienced property manager become evident!

Matthews’s video inspections are also very detailed and thorough which then allows landlords to make informed decisions, thereby maximising rental returns.

I would highly recommend Matthew Hanlon to manage your properties as getting a tenant is the easy part; keeping a tenant happy for the long term is where Matthews’s expertise is invaluable."

Tony Pereira | Multiple Properties

Client Testimonials 2017

"I have found Matthew from Marriot Lane Property Management to be the best manager we have had. The real estate agents that we bought the property from had three different managers in the first year. I went to Matthew and I have found that he is very professional, he has screened new tenants who are great, the maintenance of the property is always quick with reliable tradesmen, he keeps us up to date with current rental amounts of similar properties and he has a video of the walk through Routine inspections, which is helpful if we can’t make it on the day (yes, we are invited along). I would recommend Matthew as a honest, reliable, well informed and thorough manager and we will be keeping Matt and Marriott Lane Real Estate for all our real estate needs in the future."

Steve Russell | Greenwich

"Mathew Hanlon the senior property manager of Marriott Lane Real Estate has been looking after the leasing of our flats in Crows Nest over a number of years now.

He has always provided a very efficient service. He thoroughly checks the references and financials of prospective tenants and keeps us constantly up to date with the results of each inspection.
He has a very friendly and courteous professional manner.

I have no hesitation in recommending him."

John Izzo | Multiple Properties, Crows Nest

"I‘d like to write a testimonial statement to express my appreciation for the excellent work Matthew has done to look after my studio apartment.

For the past few months, I have been very busy at work and was not able to keep contact with Matthew. At times I was not able to check my emails and have been slow in responding Matthew’s emails and phone calls regarding issues with the tenants and repairs etc. Matthew has been very patient with me.

Matthew has been very innovative in his work and the video he has been taken of my apartment during the routine inspection really gives me the opportunity to see the condition of the place and I don’t have to worry about missing out the actual inspection.

Matthew has been very good at marketing for my apartment and he does rent review for my apartment on regular basis. For the new lease starting in the middle of October, the rent increased from $415 to $435 which was a surprise as it wasn’t expected, Matthew has done so much because he has been always full of energy and always with great ideas.

I am very satisfied with Matthew’s professional services and recommended him to my sister, she now wishes to have him as her agent as well.

Kind regards,

Maggie"

Yingzi Chen | Ernest street Crows Nest

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Matthew Hanlon for his prompt attention and professional attitude at all times in the rental and management of my property. I was absolutely delighted with the ease with which Matt master-minded the rental of my property last year – arranging fabulous photos, recommending good tradesmen, and advertising and successfully letting the property in one week, in a quiet but highly efficient manner.

At the time I was new to renting out property in the Sydney market, whilst simultaneously looking for somewhere to rent myself. Matt gave me very good advice on the steps to take through the process and I was amazed at the speed everything fell into place. I felt confident that Matt would ensure the selection of the best tenants, which certainly eventuated. Being both a ‘renter’ and a ‘leaser’, I really like the way Matt considers the needs of both parties and I can always rely on his advice to reach a fair compromise.

12 months later, Matt has followed through with his promises, his inspections are thorough and his advice sound. He deals with issues promptly and fairly, and I can be assured that he will always consult me if he has concerns. I am very happy with Matt’s work and recommend him highly. I hope Marriott Lane fully appreciate his efforts on their behalf!"

Jane Raymond | Bay Road, Waverton

"Matthew has looked after my property portfolio for more than 8 years ! He is professional, helpful and supportive as always.

Matthew screened and chose the right and good tenants for us and always send me an update if anything I need to pay attention to, also provide a rent review regularly.

He will let me know in advance if he will proceed a property inspection, if I cannot attend to the inspection Matthew will carry a Video Routine Inspections and email it to me. Picture say thousands words, it is good to see that my property has been well maintained and clean in the video.

Thank you so much Matthew for looking after our properties and you have done an outstanding and fantastic job."

Vivian Deng | Multiple Properties

"When we first decided to lease out our family townhouse, 3 years ago, we all felt very sad, stressed and uneasy. It's a comfortable home but just not big enough for our growing up families.
At that time, we did contact a few other agents to come for inspections.

None was to my satisfactory, except Mr Mathew Hanlon. My first impression on him was that he was the right person that I could trust to hand over my baby (our very first family home) to.
A few years down the track, it proves that he is such a dedicated and efficient young professional. He screened and chose the right ang good tenant for us. I never have any issue with my tenant.

Mathew also carried out thorough routine inspection with video graphics email to me so I could see the exact conditions of our property without physically being there. Besides, he also carried out periodic rental review for us. We did not even have to request. Good job Mathew.

Recently, my tenant moved out after more than 3 yrs staying, surprisingly our property was left in an order almost exactly like when we left. It is so clean, neat and tidy. My baby still looks very lovely.

Thank you very much Mathew you have done such a marvellous job for us. I always know that our property is in the right hand. We appreciate your help and assistance so much and would hope to continuously maintain this good relationship."

Josephine Ting | Eric Road, Artarmon

"As both an investor and a rental tenant, I regularly deal with Matt Hanlon in two very different capacities and I can say that both he and all the staff at Marriott Lane conduct themselves impeccably and provide the best service I've ever had from a realestate.

From the rental perspective, Matt is always available and acts fast to resolve any issues that arise. As a property manager, Matt always finds a way to act in my best interests as a landlord, while also keeping the tenants happy. The leasing process is fast and very professional, with excellent photography. Tenant selection is done with a lot of care, and the regular inspections are thorough. Having been with a number of other realestates in the past, I'm very happy having finally found Marriott Lane.

Highly recommended."

Matt Handel | Pacific Highway, Crows Nest

"Matthew has been my rental representative for a number of years. He is FANTASTIC. He is always one step ahead, thinks strategically about how to position the your property, presents it beautifully and has a great instinct for picking great tenants.

Beyond this, Matt is a great human and it has been wonderful to work alongside him over the years and I’m sure there will be many more to recommend. There are few people I recommend as highly as Matthew Hanlon."

Charmaine Bingwa | High Street, Kiribilli

"Matt has been extremely helpful through the process of renting our first apartment. From our first meeting, Matt exuded professionalism and we were confident that he was the right guy for the job.

Matt was able to find a great tenant very quickly (in the first week) and kept us in the loop at all times, in addition to taking care of ALL the administration including management of bills, etc.

With the way Matt operates you would think your property is the only one he manages as he's super responsive and available - something very important for us as we move overseas. Overall, the process was simple & seamless.
We highly recommend Matt."

Victoria North | Duntroon Avenue, St Leonards

"Matthew Hanlon has managed my property at Christie Street Wollstonecraft for the past 3 years while I have been overseas.

I have found Matthew to be very professional and helpful. He has consistently provided regular inspection reports and the house inspection videos assessing each room thoroughly has been greatly appreciated as it has given me an opportunity to clearly see the condition of my home.

I recommend Matthew to assist you with your property management requirements, has a professional attitude and secured appropriate tenants to look after my home.

Thanks again for all your help."

Thanks for all your hard work over the past 9 months. You are a great property manager and have made the transition very smooth. Keep up the good work and please keep me posted on how lease extension goes."

Joe Chung | Morton street, Wollstonecraft

"The support you have provided over the years in looking after my interests, sourcing great tenants and ensuring my property is being well managed is greatly appreciated.

Sometimes you hear about the experience others have with their properties under management and the stress is causes them, and the first thing I say is "you need to call Matthew because he is a seasoned and experienced professional operator and delivers beyond every time.
I look forward to partnering with you for many years to come."

Janine Copelin | West Street, Cammeray

"Matthew has been managing two properties for me for over 4 years now. One long term tenant has just moved out and he wrote praise of the excellent way that Matthew took care of any issues he had.

A great property manager like Matthew is a great asset for a landlord as they are the face to face contact the tenant has, and if they have a good experience with their agency they are likely to become longer term tenants.

The routine inspections are conducted thoroughly by Matthew and he is always willing to provide advice about repairs and improvements, which is invaluable when you don't get a chance to inspect the property yourself.

When re-letting one property in Feb 2016, Matthew went above and beyond to negotiate a rental rate which was $60 higher than the advertised rate.

That's not something he needed to do, but he is always trying to get the best result. I admire Matthew's negotiation skills which he has used twice now to obtain a higher than advertised rental rate.

Matthew's attitude is not that his tenants give him problems, but rather an opportunity for him to provide service to them. You couldn't ask for a better attitude than that for your property manager."

Susan Rennie

"Renting out our property here in Australia for the first time, we had lots of questions and Matthew was very patient and spent a lot of time answering our questions and explaining everything.

His professional contacts - cleaners, photographers etc. have been fantastic.

He really only recommends and works with the best. Our first open inspection was successful and Matthew secured perfect tenants for more rent that we were expecting.

We can't recommend Matthew highly enough, he is extremely professional, hardworking and knowledgeable.

He also follows through with everything and is very thorough and has fantastic attention to detail.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Matthew to date and we look forward to a long professional relationship with him."

Ciara Barett | Balfour Street, Wollstonecraft

Mr. Hanlon is very professional in his look and attitude and professionalism, he is also very trustworthy.

Leaving my two investments in Mr. Hanlon’s hands has given me, peace of mind and know he will do the right thing. I can sleep soundly in Mr. Hanlon’s hands.

I feel very lucky to have Mr. Hanlon as my property manager and thank him for his hard work."

Tina Golan | Hayberry Street & Lamont Street, Wollstonecraft

"We were tenants in a property on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, managed by Matthew Hanlon from February 2013 until August 2016.

During this time we found Matthew to be courteous, professional, well organised and willing to action issues immediately.

We felt as tenants, that Matthew always found a good balance between our needs and those of the property owners, showing good judgement and maintaining excellent relationships with both.

In speaking with Matthew, we have come to understand his stringency during the tenant application process ensures that the best tenants are found for his leased properties.

We would be delighted to recommend Matthew both to prospective landlords and tenants."

Matthew’s advice in regards to rent, renovation timing and also insurance has also been truly valued by myself as a young first time property investor.

Matthew’s communication skills I believe truly set him apart from anyone other professional I have dealt with, therefore if you are looking for a professional to look after your investment I would highly recommend him."

His care and attention to detail in the management of my property is meticulous, from inspections, property maintenance to advise on rental price positioning and vetting / securing the right tenants.
I’d strongly recommend Matthew to anyone considering property management services."

Troy Smith | Hipwood Street, Kirribilli

"We met Matthew 9 weeks before our baby was due, with a view to leasing our property before the baby arrived. He is professional and positive and made what seemed like a mammoth task to us, seem straight forward and easy.

He not only advised us on leasing our property, but also on how to find another property. Even writing references for us to make the application process easier.

Once we decided to go ahead, Matthew organised photography and marketing within a few days and found us tenants very quickly, always staying in touch to informed of how things were progressing. It almost seemed too easy!

Thank you Matthew and keep up the good work."

Caroline Forde | Mowbray Road, Lane Cove North

"I moved to the USA for career reasons and wanted to rent out my Sydney home. I chose Matthew as my agent based on our ntroductory meeting, particularly the analysis and references he provided.

Matthew is experienced, courteous and promptly responsive to both landlord and tenant. He routinely inspects the property on my behalf and communicates about any maintenance or repairs that are needed.

I am confident that the property is being well managed and I am being kept informed, and recommend him to other property owners."

Jon Fairall | Fairlight Street, Manly

I am happy to recommend him to landlords seeking a property manager."

Richard Gintel | Station Street, Naremburn

"Matthew Hanlon has managed my property for 15 months. I appreciate his drive, honesty, professionalism and reliability. Matt has done an exceptional job finding great tenants and looking after everything.

I would highly recommend Matthew Hanlon to all landlords in the area."

Michelle Chiu | Atchison Street, St Leonards

"Matt Hanlon has been managing my property for 7 years now.

In all the time that I have known him, I can only describe him as a consummate professional. He has placed quality tenants who have maintained the property to a high standard, and in turn improved the overall condition of the property whilst living there.

Rental reviews and routine inspection are very comprehensive, typified by photos. The attention to detail is impressive.

On one occasions, due to a poor building venture that pertained to the renovation of the unit, he sought an alternative solution to problem that related to a blocked internal waste line pipe, that ended up saving me thousands.

Whenever repairs have fallen under the umbrella of Strata responsibility, he is quick to discern this, and contact the managing agent accordingly.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other prospective landlords."

Will Robertson | Willoughby Road, Naremburn

"If you’re looking for a switched on, ethical and reliable person to look after, manage and care for your investment properties, Mathew Hanlon is the man for you.

I am a busy business owner and I just need my properties to have good quality tenants with all the issues like maintenance, broken taps, paper work etc taken care for me.

Mathew does this for me, seemingly effortlessly, with a high level of speed and efficiency.

Mathew consistently sources high quality tenants for me, and to date all placements in my investment properties have actually been from his pool of contacts.

I have never had any vacancy with tenants as this well connected real-estate agent gets great tenants quickly into my properties. When one good quality tenant moves out Mathew moves another great tenant in.

Mathew is consistent, polite, reliable, answers my phone calls and emails typically within a few hours or at the very latest by end of business.

Anything you need or query you have will be attended to quickly and professionally.

Mathew looks after all my properties. 100% recommend him to look after your properties."

Adam Meredith | Oxley Street, Crows Nest

"I have no hesitation recommending Matthew Hanlon as a property agent. Matthew has been managing the lease of my one bedroom unit in Waverton and I am very happy with the service to date.
Matthew's experience and advice have been invaluable when dealing with some unexpected issues that have arisen. Matthew is very professional and always quick to respond.
Knowing that my investment is in safe hands provides peace of mind."

C. Dugan | Crows Nest Road, Waverton

"I could not be happier with the service I have received from Matthew since deciding to lease my apartment out in March this year. From my initial meeting I knew I was in the right hands- sometimes you just know! Being a first time property investor in NSW, Matthew gave me all the advice I needed - especially his great knowledge on the area, getting the best tenants and the pros and cons of leasing furnished or unfurnished.

Within the week Matthew had come at met with me at the apartment to inspect first hand and make price point recommendations and arranged for a professional photographer to come and take photographs to market the property. That same weekend the first open house was held and on that Monday I had a quality tenant interviewed by Matthew and signing a 12 Month lease!

I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a quality property manager to get you the best tenants and look after your investment property."

Natalie McKeown | Pacific Highway, Crows Nest

Client Testimonials 2014

"Thank you for looking after our apartment during the last two years. Karen and myself have considered our experience with Marriott Lane a positive and successful one. More importantly, our experience with yourself, has been excellent.

We appreciated your high level of professionalism, great communication and efficiency in sorting out our tenancy. You have made us feel confident and involved all through our professional relationship.

It is with regret we ceased our rental given a change in our circumstances. We are also grateful for an excellent tenant, Dan Ripley. We hope we have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

We wish you all the best for this and coming years."

Karen and Way Siow | Brand Street, Artarmon

"Thank you for managing our rental properties for the last 6 years. I am very impressed with your attention to details, your diligence in constantly inspecting the properties to make sure they have been kept in good conditions and your commitment to always finding the best tenants for us.
Thank you for the hard work, it has been much appreciated."

Charles and Margaret Chan | Blakesley Chatswood & Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"This is just a short note to thank you for the care and concern you have always shown in looking after our property at Eric Road, Artarmon. My daughter lived in this property before she moved to Brisbane and we been keen to ensure that it would always be kept in top condition.

In the more than five years that your have been managing the property we can say with certainty that your have looked after this property superbly.

There has never been any unplanned vacancies, the tenants you have selected have never been the cause of any concern and you have conducted all inspections as appropriate and provided detailed reports and photographs in respect of all inspections.

All requests we have made have been attended to expeditiously."

Tony Lovett | Eric Road, Artarmon

"I would like to pass on my most sincere thanks (and it’s difficult to find words to express those thanks!) for the incredibly expeditious and, importantly, also caring way in which you have attended to every one of the few little issues that needed to be sorted out with my apartment.

In terms of today’s incident, with the leaking hot water system ‘emergency’, I had barely sent you the email before 7.30 on a Saturday morning and you were calling on the phone finding out how you could assist. That was incredibly reassuring. Then, you said you’d get it sorted for me, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw your emails to the repair people less than 5 minutes later. That is just exceptional. It was then no surprise, because of the apparently great relationship you also have with them, that the plumber was actually in the apartment arranging to have things attended to less than an hour later.

While I am a tenant in this apartment, I am also a landlord of a house in Perth and I could only dream of having a property manager a tenth as good as you have been. It is so obvious that you have the interests of both the landlord and the tenant at heart - and in the long run, the bottom line is that this is good for everyone and also your primary responsibility, the property.

On top of all of that, I very much appreciate your fantastic can do, cheerful approach to life – again, not something one always gets in the service industry. You communicate incredibly well – both a quick turnaround and with excellent clarity.

I would be happy at any time if needed to share these sentiments. If you feel it appropriate, please pass on to the management at your agency and also the owners of the apartment."

Dr Grant Robertson | West Street, Crows Nest

"Matthew has been property manager for my apartment since July 2011.
I have been pleased with the quality of service I received. The tenants selected have been long term and reliable people who have looked after the property and Matthew has regularly inspected the premises and reviewed how it was priced in the market to ensure maximum return.

Mathew was also willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. On one occasion he liased with body corporate and tenants over an issue my tenant had with the telephone line that linked the street with my apartment. The matter was eventually resolved in an efficient and professional manner.

I have found Matthew to be efficient manager with good communication skills and an exceptional eye for detail. I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone requiring property management services."

Julian Radom | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"We could not be more pleased with Matthew Hanlon and the team at Marriott Lane with the job they have done managing our property over the last 3 years.

Every commitment that was made regarding the maintenance, inspection and management of our property has been kept and often exceeded.

It provides us great comfort to know that while we are living interstate our property is being managed with this level of competence.

All bills and expenditure for the property are managed by Marriott Lane with simple maintenance requests explained clearly in succinct emails or short calls.

The monthly financial reports are simple and easy to understand and the annual report is supplied promptly, complete and ready for the accountant.

The last 3 years have been such a hassle free enjoyable experience, that we have considered purchasing another investment in the same area purely to have it managed by Matt and his team."

Nick Anderson | Duntroon Ave, St Leonards

"Just a quick note to thank you for your consistently professional management of our property in Crows Nest.

As overseas landlords we have entirely relied on your regular updates, property reports & guidance on how best to manage our investment.

You have successfully supported us with a multitude of maintenance requests, capital improvements & tenant transitions. In each case you have over-communicated & ensured that we are fully aware of any changes to the plan.

Testimony to your great work is the fact that the property has been fully occupied, with quality tenants, for the entire 14 years that we have had it in your care.

We look forward to your continued support."

David Osborn | Chandos Street, Crows Nest

Client Testimonials 2013

"This is to advise our total satisfaction with Matthew Hanlon of Marriott Lane Real Estate Crows Nest.
We have used Matthew previously to manage our rental property, until taking it off the rental market for a time, when we needed to have the property rented out again and we had no hesitation in seeking Matthew’s assistance once again.

This time we were moving from the property out of Sydney and needed Matthew to arrange and supervise a number of tradespeople to undertake work on the property to ensure the property would be leased as quickly as possible.

Matthew coordinated numerous trades arranged quotes and communicated fully with us every step of the way, sending photographs of the finished work.
Again we would like to thank Matthew for his professionalism and we feel confident that our property is being well managed.

We have no hesitation in recommending his services to any landlord looking for property management expertise."

Stuart Whelan | Tunks Street, Waverton

"Dear Wayne,

ln the course of chatting with Matthew Hanlon yesterday, we noted that Matthew has now been looking after my unit at Woolcott Street, Waverton for more than five years.

Reflecting on the good run l'’ve had over this period, it's appropriate to formally give credit to Matthew's contribution. Living in the Southern Highlands, I can probably be regarded as almost an absentee landlord and I have relied heavily on Matthew to keep the management running smoothly.

He has done an extremely professional job in all aspects - letting, tenancy issues and support with property maintenance. I'm pleased to report that we have been, and continue to be, happy clients.

You might recall that l'm considering taking on another apartment. lf this happens, l'll be looking to see if Matthew can take on the management."

Grahame White | Lindsey street & Bent Street, Neutral Bay

"I came to Marriott Lane on the recommendation of my accountant, after having a myriad of problems with my last managing agent.

I am so glad I switched! Since the changeover the management of my property has been nothing but professional and efficient. Managing agent Matthew Hanlon is a safe pair of hands and makes everything seem smooth and trouble-free.

Thank you Matt."

Charmaine Bingwa | High Street, North Sydney

"Dear Matthew,

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to you for looking after my rental property in Wollstonecraft.

You were referred to me originally by a friend, who also has their rental property currently managed by you (and was extremely impressed with you)

The level of service that you have provided has been faultless and all matters have been dealt with incredibly fast expediency.

Again, I would like to thank you Matthew for your professionalism & I feel confident that my property is being well managed.

I would not hesitate in recommending you to others."

Felicity Foster | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Firstly, we're very happy with chosen tenants at our property 8/7 Brougton Rd, Artarmon. Excellent job.
Also, we're very pleased with effort and fast respond from Matthew in regards with our concerns.
We hope for same level of communication between tenants, Matthew and ourselves in the future as well.
Thanks and regards"

"Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate your professional service of managing my property in Wollstonecraft. Your practical, reliable and friendly approach, together with top communication skills provide me with a peace of mind and assurance that the property is in safe hands.

Keep up the good work:)"

Grace Zdanowicz | Belmont Avenue, Wollstonecraft


"Matthew, I am so very grateful for the wonderful service you've given me over the last year or so.

I can still remember when you surprised me with the news that you had obtained an extra $50 on top of the asking price when you first rented my Wollstonecraft unit. That is everything to a landlord and it was an amazing achievement on your part.

Then when those tenants moved you prepared me for the fact that the market might not handle that price again but then you again kept it a surprise for me when the new tenants had agreed to pay the same price.

Something you're doing in the marketing must really be working to have 100 people turn up, and then your tenant selection process mirrors my own thoughts and you were never going to give it to the guys pointing out where they'd be putting the bar in the lounge room!

This level of care and service is rare from an agency which makes it all the more valuable. Matthew, you treat each thing to do with my unit as if it was your own and I don't know how you could expect anything more from your agent.

Thanks for everything Matthew, it's so nice to know my old home is in safe hands along with my father's home at Mosman."

Susan Rennie | Warringah Road, Mosman

"Hi Wayne,

I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with the level of service Matthew has provided me over the past couple of weeks.

Matthew is a pleasure to deal with and he does an excellent job of keeping me fully informed and being on top of things at all times.

I appreciate his quick response and professional manner and I am glad he was able to procure a tenant for my property in a very timely manner. He is very diligent in his process of selecting a decent tenant so Im very happy about that - less problems for the both if us !

So all in all a big thanks to him."

Fabian Leung | Broughton Road, Artarmon

Morimoto Emi | Broughton Road, Artarmon

Amin Doulai | Falcon Street, Crows Nest

"Matthew has been my property manager for a number of years. Over this time he has managed my property with the utmost care and professional integrity.

I have not had to follow up on any aspect of the property management; Matthew has excelled in all aspects. He has managed the maintenance of my property and managed all rent reviews and has been proactive in all areas.

I am impressed with his service and feel very confident that I am getting the best service and can leave this in Matthews hands without having to check up."

Nick Johnson | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Matthew I wanted to once again thank you for making our transition into the Sydney investment market both simple and easy.

I specifically want to call out the level of service you provide which I find is second to none and this is because of the your commitment to keeping me up to date on everything including promptly advising me of property maintenance requests.

There has never been a moment when I have felt unsure of my property status and this has resulted in me having a stress free rental property.

Because you consistently excel in customer service, I am now motivated me to buy again and will certainly ask you to manage that also."

Janine Copelin | West Street, Cammeray

"From the start, Matthew has made the entire process of renting out my apartment an easy one.
I can rely on him to take care of every detail and he has proven himself trustworthy and conscientious.

I have every confidence in his management of my apartment and am happy to recommend him to my friends."

Pip Richardson | Trafalgar Street, Crows Nest

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts recently in assisting with the refurbishment of our apartment and subsequent leasing to a new tenant.

Throughout the whole process, you were most helpful in assisting with providing quotations from suppliers and actively co-ordinating access and installation for painters and carpet layers in our absence.

No request appeared to be a problem for you to manage.

Additionally, when seeking a new tenant, we are pleased with your diligent efforts in obtaining a satisfactory tenant at an appealing increased weekly rent.

We look forward to you managing our apartment into the future and shall recommend your services to any other landlord should the opportunity arise."

Mr Paul & Mrs Collen Susans | Eric Road, Artarmon

"Hi Matthew

Finally I get a chance to say thanks for doing all those things that a only a top property manager knows to do, like chase me up and get my attention to talk me through the important things and give me real advice as though the property was yours.

That's what makes you stand out and an asset to Marriott Lane, it's you being personable. Thank you for your diligence, but most of all for your very likeable personality.

It is always with great pleasure when we get to speak. It's nice to know I can rely on you to take care of things for me. Your professionalism is the main reason why I've chosen to remain with Marriott Lane all this time."

Jenny Lee | Hayberry Street, Crows Nest

Over the past 12 months, he is able to follow things through, liaise with strata and body corporate, and resolve most of the issues arising from our property with no delay.

He is an agent who will seek the best solutions for both owners and tenants. We are very grateful that he has found us a very responsible tenants who have been happily living there over a year now.

The regular routine inspections with attached photographs and report show our property is almost spotless and very well maintained. Thanks Matthew for all your hard work! I have no doubt that you are one of the best property managers in this market. "

"Please pass this email onto Wayne also, I don't have his email address with me.

I wanted to say how grateful I was at your extremely successful negotiation to increase the rental on my place by a massive $50 a week. As you could probably tell, I was gobsmacked and very thrilled.

The whole process has been smooth and simple and you obtained an amazing outcome for me.

I hope you understand this impacts my bottom line, and allows me some luxuries in my new home, like keeping Foxtel on!

Thank you so much Matt, I am very grateful and comforted that my property is in such good hands."

"We have successfully managed our rental properties over the last twenty years, ourselves.

We fortunately called on Marriott – Lane, Crows Nest for a casual letting for one of our units . The service undertaken by Matthew Hanlon was first class and in my opinion “refreshing “. Another of our tenants gave notice shortly after the first .

Matthew rose to the occasion, successfully letting both properties to qualified tenants after one Saturday showing. During the short re-letting process , we were kept fully informed. This process was also conducted whilst we were interstate

We have bought , sold , rented ourselves throughout our lives and Matthew has demonstrated his efficiency, communication with ourselves and a professionalism not seen in any of our previous dealings with Real Estate agents.

We have no hesitation in recommending Matthew, particularly in this area of casual lettings."

I have to say that the experience has been most pleasurable, which I did not expect. Matthew Hanlon has provided fantastic service to me in the whole process, making the renting of the unit stress free at a time of upheaval.

Not only was the service great, but Matthew also attained a record high rental income for my property. In addition, the on-going management of my account has been exemplary and makes it so much easier for me to monitor from Brisbane.

I have no hesitation in recommending Marriot Lane to colleagues and friends in the future due to the high level of professionalism and service provided by your company.

I am finally writing you a long overdue letter of gratitude!

Your warm professionalism and efficiency has wowed us, every single time we have contacted you.
In my past experiences as a tenant I have at times felt as though I was somewhat powerless and at the mercy of unpredictable landlords and agents. Not so this time around! You show the utmost respect for both the property and also us as tenants.

Thanks again for continuing to make our tenancy so pleasant and enabling us to feel very much at home."

Puccetta and Jonno Hook | Wheatleigh Street, Naremburn

"Dear Wayne,

RE: Matthew Hanlon, Senior Property Manager

I would like to share with you the wonderful professionalism and service that I have received from your Senior Property Manager, Matthew Hanlon, during the full term of my agency agreement with Marriott Lane from July 2011 to July 2012.

My understanding has always been that one’s excellent reputation is building on ones clients experiences, and I am sure you will appreciate this feedback, as being one of Matthew’s clients.

As a Real Estate Agent myself, I am fully conversant within the industry’s practices, and have greatly appreciated the professionalism received from Matthew.

I really appreciate the personal client attention, removing the emoting out of leasing my owner property. The attention to detail was very professional and his negotiation skills in providing a very happy tenant throughout the total rental period. He was kind, prepared and got the job done. Well done Matthew !!

Being a valued employee at Marriot Lane I am sure his professionalism, politeness and willingness along with his sense of humour assist the difficult and sometimes frustrating process of leasing. I could not have achieved what we did achieve without his support.

I personally take this opportunity in thanking you Matthew, and will certainly recommend your professional services in the future."

Merryl Dawson | Lucknow Crescent, Willoughby

"I am writing this testimonial about Matthew Hanlon, our Property Manager.

Mathew has looked after our property in Crow’s Nest, Sydney over the past four years.

We have a number of properties across Australia and therefore I have dealt with many different property managers, it has been rare to find someone who has managed a property to a standard that I have been happy with, Mathew is a welcome exception, excelling in his role, providing a professional service. As interstate property owners, it certainly gives us peace of mind knowing we have someone to rely on to look after our investments.

When our tenants have given notice, Matthew has always informed us and acted immediately to ensure our property has been vacant for minimal periods, he has been thorough with inspections and any issues with tenants have been resolved effectively, any maintenance or repairs needed have been carried out efficiently.

I would recommend Mathew to anyone who requires a competent property manager."

Being a property owner and landlord has been a new experience for me.

Matthew made the process of securing a tenant hassle free and he took the extra time to respond to my many queries.

Many thanks for all your help Matthew!"

Natalie Sarian | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"Dear Marriott Lane,
I am writing to you to thank you for the excellent job Matthew Hanlon has done in leasing our house. Matthew has been polite, efficient and informative throughout the leasing process. He found a family quickly and efficiently to lease the property, he has keep been in contact with me regularly but not to often either, keeping me in the loop when necessary.

Matthew has assisted in the preparation of the house so it was ready to be leased and as we are interstate it had given us peace of mind that Matthew is looking after our main asset as if it were his own – I would recommend Marriott Lane and Matthew it anyone who is thinking of leasing their property."

Mick Travers | Standford Road, Atarmon

"Mr. Matthew Hanlon has been the Property Manager for my unit in River Towers
Wollstonecraft since I engaged Marriott Lane, Real Estate in Crows Nest to manage my unit. He has always managed my property with care and consideration, and when handling difficult tenants has executed his duties in a very professional manner. He always professional and does what is best for client and tenants.
I am very satisfied with Matthew’s management of the property."

Annie Willis | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Just a note, to thank you for the way in which you have managed the Unit since I began using Marriott Lanes services and how you covered the departure of Mr Halliburton, due on 6/6/2011 (while I was away until 23rd of May).

Not only has a new tenant been found but on Friday 27th of May I received the Marriott Lane cheque for a months rent less your changeover fees. The prompt payment of rent by Marriott Lane and communication from you is appreciated a distinct difference from some other companies.

I look forward to your continued management of the property."

David Mackay | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"Yes we are 100% happy with everything and thanks very much for your continued help here.
Thanks again…"

Dan Jackson | Falcon Street, Crows Nest

"Hi Matt,

I just wanted to take a moment to commend you for the superb effort you have made & the outstanding service you have provided me since I have transitioned my property management to Marriott Lane.

From the outset, you have set yourself apart going above and beyond what is required. You have been intuitive, shown initiative and commercial acumen and have displayed enthusiasm that is rare in the service industry. I have been very impressed with your professionalism and diligence thus far.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone and would add that you bring a distinct advantage to clients who are seeking to maximise their investment return.

Thanks again!"

Abinash Dhungel

"Hi Matthew

I just wanted to say a big thank to you and your staff for your great management of our property.

You have always managed to find excellent tenants and your recent inspection report was very comprehensive with excellent photos.
All queries and work that needs to be carried out are dealt with promptly and efficiently and you always keep me up to date with
What ever is going on regarding the property.

I really appreciate it."

Simone Fitzgerald | Christie Street, Wollstonecraft

"I would like to thank Matthew Hanlon for superb customer service. With Matthew looking after our properties we are made to feel like the number #1 client.

Matthew takes every aspect of property management and all aspects of his work extremely seriously. It’s not just about property with Matthew, it’s about valued clients partnerships..
Matthew is very professional and polite in all his dealings with our tenants, and he demonstrates an enthusiastic passion for his work.

Matthews service comes with extremely prompt and frequent updates, and even courtesy calls when everything is ok just for added reassurance and just to see how we are.

Our reports following property inspections are all very detailed and professionally written, and accompanied by double digit photos! It is this attention to detail, very prompt attention to any issue, and enthusiastic and polite professionalism that makes us thankful to have Matthew looking after us.

We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship."

Michael and Alexandra Loveday

"I have recently placed my unit in Crows Nest as a rental property with Marriott Lane and am writing to say how pleased I have been to date with the excellent service provided by Matthew Hanlon.

Matthew has been extremely patient explaining and providing answers and guidance (as I had not been in this position before) and he certainly displayed a very thorough knowledge of property management.

I have also been impressed with how efficient he has been at keeping me informed of progress every step of the way from organising a handy man and cleaners, etc through to the vetting and selection of tenants.

Not having any experience of the rental property market I originally planned to seek at least a couple of valuations from agents in the Crows Nest area, however, as Matthew was the first one I saw I was so impressed by his professionalism I did not bother looking any further and cancelled the other appointment.

I chose your Company in the first place as I have been receiving your flyers and advertising in my mailbox for many years and had felt that when I did need a real estate agent I would go to Marriott Lane as the advertising always conveyed a highly ethical company who upheld honesty and professionalism as their standards.

Thanking you - I look forward to a long and happy association with Marriott Lane."

Christine Davis | Trafalgar Street, Crows Nest

"I want to thank you for the most professional manner in which you have looked after my property at 4/103 Chandos Street ,Crows Nest.

And a particular thanks in attending to the various inconvenient issues that arose with the last tenant.

I will be using the property for the next year or so but will be definitely using your services again in the not to distant future.

I will be trying to self-mange my North Sydney apartment but if I have any issues will be handing over to you most quickly!!!"

Cecil Levy | Chandos Street, Crows Nest

"Just a quick note to thank you for facilitating such a swift reletting of my property. I was also delighted that you were able to negotiate the rent I was looking for and to have the new tenant move in just after the previous tenant has moved out.
You have always secured excellent tenants and the apartment is always managed very professionally – just what you want for a good investment property.

Thank you."

Sally Cantwell | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Congrats on your promo and we're both very happy you'll still be managing our property; so far your work has been excellent. It may seem like a small thing but we really appreciate having someone looking after our property we can trust.

Best of wishes for Xmas and the new year. It's nice to see someone with talent being looked after by their company and I hope you'll be managing our property for us in the future.

Please ensure that you managers know how good you are. I highly recommend telling them yourself but if that doesn't work, you can always forward this email."

Brian Hogan | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

Client Testimonials 2010

"Matthew certainly is in the elite group in his field. I have complete confidence and trust in Matt and his abilities, and he continues to deliver to levels that exceed my expectations."

Paul A. Jones | River Road, Wollstonecraft

"Dear Mathew,
Thanks very much for doing such a great job in renting my apartment with only two days vacancy between tenants.

On that note your agency Marriott Lane has managed the property for over 12 years always finding me excellent tenants and it has never been vacant for more than had more than two weeks at a time in that whole period.

Keep up the good work."

James Pennefather | Elamang Ave, Kirribilli

"Dear Matthew,

We are very happy about your perfect professional and friendly attitude. Thank you so much, Kind Regards, Rita Grigoryan, Nishan Teosian, new tenants from 37/595, Wiillougby Rd."

Rita Grigoryan | Willougby Road, Crows Nest

"Thanks Matt for you quick and pro-active leasing arrangements of this property."

Mark Bennett | Ernest Street, Cammeray

"The service provided by Matthew Hanlon from Marriott Lane has certainly changed my view towards most of the real estate agents as being “all talk and no action” type. In contrast to that, Matthew has really put customer’s benefits into his minds. His efficiency has largely contributed to the fact that that new tenants have moved into my property less than a week since I first contacted Matthew to manage my property. If you would like to have a peaceful mind when it comes to dealing with property management, Matthew certainly is the person who you can rely on."

Jane Chen | Ernest Street, Crows Nest

"I am happy with the service you have provided over the last two years as Property Manager of my unit at 17/161A Willoughby Road, Naremburn.

You found me an excellent tenant in Jim McMillan and took no time at all to replace him with Chanel Berengaria.

Please keep up the good work and thank you for the care you exhibit."

Alice Taylor | Willoughby Road, Naremburn

"I have known Matthew in a business capacity for about 2 years, and in that time he has secured and placed two sets of tenants in an apartment my wife and I own in Crows Nest.
Matthew has always been very thorough in all stages of the placement process and has handled the occasional delays in signing and confirmation in a very businesslike and professional way. He is also someone who has a good sense of humour and I have never observed him appearing stressed or frustrated.
I would gladly recommend Matthew and Marriott Lane Real Estate to anyone looking to rent or buy/sell a property."

Steve Prescott | Crow Nest Road, Waverton

"I rarely type an email of thanks (usually just a phone call), but on this occasion I feel like it is deserved.
As you know, I hold quite a number of properties across a varied portfolio and deal with many people in the property industry to include several agents.

Your servicing of my requirements has been highly valued. In no time at all, you secure a great tenancy for me, leaving not a single day of vacancy with the old tenant moving out, which I attribute to your deft negotiation skills, dedication to the job and positive attitude.

During the process you also kept me up to date the whole time.

Thanks again and I would have no hesitation recommending you to other investors as property manager."

Mark Bennett | Ernest Street, Cammeray

"Matthew has managed our property at ‘The Habitat’ St Leonards for over two years. We have found Matthew to be efficient, reliable, well organised and extremely helpful during this period. On both rental occasions he has secured extremely good tenants.

His advice has always been realistic and sound. He responds to emails quickly and initiates any action that is required promptly.

I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew as a person of integrity and someone who is more than capable of managing a rental property."

Rex Humphreys | Chandos Street, St Leonards

"We are very happy with the service you have given us as our agent liasion for our rental unit in Wolstonecraft over the past 2 years.

We are very impressed with your promptness to all our & the tenants request as well as following up on all issues at hand to completion.

We have minimal worries about the unit under your care. We respect your judgement on selecting good tenants as well as the half yearly reviews/updates on the condition of the place.

We hope to continue the relationship with Marriot Lane & yourself. Thanks again for all your help."

Denise & Chris Madson | Shirley Road, Wollstoencraft


"I am very pleased with the management of the property for the following reasons:

- Rent always paid on time
- Bills etc managed without any problems
- Routine inspections with photos so I can see the state of the flat
- Problems fixed promptly at reasonable rates i.e. dishwasher

I also like receiving the information you send regarding the property market in Australia which is very handy especially as I am living overseas."

Zoe Barn | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Thanks Matthew. Yes, you guys have been great throughout. The inspections and the photos really help put our minds at ease. Great job, and thanks."

Derek Chan | Sinclair Street, Wollstonecraft

"I just wanted to take the opportunity to pass on my thanks for your ongoing role in managing my investment property at Waverton.

As someone who is consistently flat our with other business interests it is good to know that I have someone who is acting on my behalf in a consistent and proactive manner to ensure that my property is being looked after and maximum value is being derived from my investment.

Thanks again for your efforts and keep up the good work."

Dave Morre | Crows Nest Road, Waverton

"I am Peter Gellert's attorney in Australia (Peter lives in Hungary). In 2001 Peter inherited an apartment in Wollstonecraft. From that time onwards your office managed that property, till November last year. At that time Peter's daughters arrived in Sydney to undertake studies in English.

Regrettably, that meant that we had give notice to our long-term tenant. Matthew Hanlon, who looked after the property at the time, acted in a very professional manner. He was also very helpful at the time when Peter's daughters returned to Hungary and the apartment became vacant again.

Although we had interest from other agents in the area, we gave the management contract to your firm again. We were very pleased that Matthew managed to find a new tenant almost immediately -- the apartment was only vacant for three days!

Before Matthew, there were other people in your office, who looked after the apartment. Naturally, they have also contributed to our decision, but the major factor was Matthew's recent work."

Robert Handelsmann | Shirley Road, Wollstoncraft

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the service you have provided us over the past years.
We have followed your advice and recommendations on many occasions with great results. This is testament to your skills and knowledge of the rental property market. Your communications with us are open and timely and you always conduct yourself in a very professional manner. We are very happy with the tenants you have secured for us and in a very short space of time. Your follow up is excellent, with both us and the tenants. You have the ability to quickly establish a great business relationship which is why you are so successful in your field.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you as a property manager. You have restored our faith after our previous poor experiences with other agents.

Thank you once again Matthew. We look forward to continue doing business with you."

Greg Arnott | Calbina Avenue, Northbridge

"I just wanted to thank you for your efforts with my property.

To be honest, I was seriously considering changing agents a few years back. However, since you joined I have noticed a great improvement in service.

I do appreciate that you have my best interests in mind and have been able to find me good tenants while minimising the costs of minor repairs.

Thanks again for your help."

Tony Roberts | Sinclair Street, Wollstonecraft

"I am happy with everything. Many thanks for all your help in last three years."

Daniel Hou | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"Dear Matt and Jodie
Thank you for all the good work in managing my unit at 4 Crowther Av, Greenwich for the past year. You make a point of difference in the property management market, with such good professionalism, and a quality of respect for both myself AND the tenants. During the past year, property inspections have been timely and thorough; your dealings with any issues big or small have been consistently reliable and followed through.

I have no hesitation in recommending your services, as I was also referred to you by my neighbour.
Keep up the good work."

Helen Mo | Crowther Avenue, Greenwich

"Matthew Hanlon has been managing our property in Sydney for the last three years and has provided us with great service. Nothing has been too much trouble for him and he has always kept us very well informed with how the property is going and progress with any issues that need sorting out. When we have needed to call him Matthew has always answered his phone. We have also appreciated the regular inspection reports which include photo’s. Getting new tenants was very well managed by Matthew and not only did we get great tenants in a very short time frame, but we were well advised about a rental increase and we had zero vacancy time."

Monica Blanchfield and Matthew Carter | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Just a quick hello and expression of my gratitude for all the outstanding and excellent work you have been doing in looking after my property in the last couple of years.

The quality of your service is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend you and your agency to everyone without a single doubt.

I must say, have been quite impressed myself and I hope it continues in the same fashion in the future to come.

Great work, well done and I look forward to continuing my relationship in property management with you and Marriott Lane Agency."

Sue Psalmister | Trafalgar Street, Crows Nest

"I just want to send you a quick note to thank you for your professional approach in managing my property.
In addition to your pleasant manner I have found you very approachable with good market knowledge and work ethics.

Over the past few years, I have been pleased that we have been able to manage the property and to maximise the return with minimal stress.

Your advice is always helpful and balanced and I look forward to continuing our working relationship.

I am happy to recommend your services."

Keith Ho | Trafalgar Street, Crows Nest

"I just thought I'd write to express my great appreciation (and pleasant surprise) at the extraordinary level of service I receive from one of your team members, Matthew Hanlon.

As an investor, a vacant investment property is always a bit stressful.

One of our tenants gave notice to vacate our Shirley Road property at the end of their lease, to which we were advised immediately by Matthew. Matthew gave us his assurance that he would get it re-let fast and explained how the property would be marketed for lease.

Matthew not only kept us updated prior to undertaking marketing activities but provided regular pre-emptive follow up, often out of normal business hours and on weekends (unheard of!) Matthew also provided advice and reassurance when things were not going so well with re-letting the property. He made me feel relaxed about the whole process, when I would normally be stressing.

Happily, Matthew has successfully negotiated with a new tenant and extended the lease to the 12 months we desired and secured a rental figure we were not expecting in the current market. Matthew has also managed to ensure that there is no gap between the outgoing and incoming tenant thus ensuring we are not sacrificing any rental income.

My utter delight at how our properties are being managed by Marriot Lane is very unusual today when true customer service seems to be something of a bygone era. The level of service provided by Matthew is certainly not one I have come to expect in dealing with other Realtors, and for that I am very grateful."

Kim Tukian | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew's services as property manager to any prospective property owner.

He has always promptly located fantastic new tenants for the property at the maximum rent that the unit could command and has always communicated with me exactly what is going on.

His professional manner, experience and exceptional customer service allows me to be worry free and confident that my property and tenants are in good hands."

Greer Grocott | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"To whom is may concern,

I have several properties with Marriott Lane all managed by Matthew Hanlon.

For over 8 years I was with another property management company who I thought were serving my needs to an adequate level. After much persuasion by the team at Marriott Lane I agreed to move over the portfolio.

My experience to date has been extremely pleasing and I must say the passion and commitment Matthew has presented towards his role in managing the properties is 10/10.

The communication lines are regular, feedback precise and my comfort levels of knowing all is sorted are 100%.

It is with this in mind that I would never hesitate in recommending the team at Marriott Lane if you are looking at a property manager."

Grant Philipp

"The service from an overseas perspective is brilliant. The management of the property is with people I trust (via a strong relationship built with integrity and diligence). We have been kept informed promptly of all events (even though I'm slack in replying) and the service has been second to none.

The PDF format each month is well set out and very easy to follow.

Overall, I would (and have) highly recommended Marriott Lane to other landlords and shared the good experience we have had.

I'd like to personally thank you through the whole process; moving overseas was quite stressful and it was great to have you look after the property so well."

Brian Hogan | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"Regarding the recent letting of my investment property in Naremburn, I was thoroughly impressed with how swiftly you let it out, whilst achieving no vacancy.

I was also most pleased with how you kept me informed of the whole process and advised me of possible candidates that would be suitable for the property.

I understand that you had a difficult situation with the previous management of the property, but prevailed and in the end achieved an amicable result.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other investors."

Walter Ashton | Willoughby Road, Naremburn

"Dear Matthew,

Thanks for your email correspondence. Obviously the tenants have been looking after the property very well and thank you for finding me such good tenants.

Please go ahead with the rent increase as discussed. You have always handled this issue very well with your expertise and experience and I am sure that you have made the right decision.

With the festive season approaching, may I wish you and your colleagues at Marriot Lane a very merry Christmas and all the best for the year 2011. Thank you again for looking after my property so well over the years.

Mark and Vicky Brady, 8/32 Christie Street Wollstonecraft & 50 Ernest street Crows Nest, 16 December 2010
I would like to express my thanks at an exceptional job done in relation to the letting of Ernest St, Crows Nest.
Since the initial contact with Jodie service has been outstanding, with Matt always available and (in the spirit of the season) always jovial, despite some testing circumstances.

Matt's service to date has completely justified placing both our rental properties with Marriott Lane.

Thankyou again and have a Merry Christmas."

Virginia Chin | Russell Street, Wollstonecraft

"I am writing to thank you for your recent involvement in my investment property in Wollstonecraft. When I first contacted you in November, I had a very difficult and stressful situation with the tenant. In a professional manner, you have achieved an amicable solution for all parties involved.

I appreciate very much the large amount of time and effort you spent to organize specialist inspections and collect evidence for the potential lawsuit, without which the subsequent negotiations with the tenant might not have been so successful.

Being outside of Australia and naturally feeling anxious, I am also thankful for your frequent feedbacks by means of emails and phone calls.

On top of that, I’m very impressed by your swift action to secure an excellent tenancy within one day after the property was advertised. Bearing in mind that it's so close to the X’mas and New Year holiday period, I am sure this should be the most difficult time of the year to achieve that!

Once again, my thanks go out to you! I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."

Murray H. Luo | Nicholson Street, Crows Nest

"I am sending this e-mail in appreciation of the professional attitude of Matthew Hanlon in regards to looking after my property at 9/195 Ernest St, Cammeray.

The recent inspections and any communication Matthew has been diligent, timely and always gives professional advice.

I felt I wanted to send this onto you as I appreciate his work."

Mrs Cecilia O'Neill | Ernest Street, Cammeray

Client Testimonials 2009

"I would very much like to express my deepest thanks, again, for the assistance given me by your Matthew Hanlon in renting my second property at No. 19 Ivy Street, Wollstonecraft last week.

Mathew truly showed his professional colours in liaising between me as the landlord and the very lovely tenants that have taken the property on a six months' lease at this stage.

My property is not exactly easy to understand as it has among its features a more heritage style and facilities that go with it and I was very impressed that Matthew was able to convey this to various people interested. It took quite a lot of communication back and forth but has certainly paid off with no uncertainty between me and the new tenants.

The tenants chosen for the property are delightful and after meeting them briefly we can all be left in peace to enjoy our lifestyles whilst at the same time, leaving a door open always for them should any problems arise.

Matthew has taken a great deal of care in paying attention to detail - something that seems very rare these days with so many real estate agents when they are so busy.

Believe me - it is very much appreciated and furthermore I feel it is essential that paperwork, inspections, arrangements for access and ongoing liaison exists. I feel sure as a landlord I will have no problems with Marriott Lane in their handling of my property.

Please thank Matthew for me and again Wayne, thank you for your ongoing very high standard service in the community."

Patricia Reynolds | Ivy Street, Wollstonecraft

"Some feedback for you re Matt Hanlon. He far outshines any property manager that I have been associated with in terms of capability and execution. He delivers on his commitments and is so effective that sometimes I forget I have a rental property at all.

His property management skills and expertise shouldn’t go unnoticed either. I have no doubt that his approach, sense of urgency and level of effectiveness is the key to his success in managing this property to the satisfaction of both tenant and owner."

Paul Jones | River Road, Wollstonecraft

"Dear Matthew,

I would like to thank you and your team for finding tenants for our property. At a quiet time of year to find good tenants within days of advertising the property was great.

Many thanks,

Tom"

Tom Nicja | Rocklands Road, Wollstonecraft

"Thank you for your professional service. Job well done.
Thanks, Antonio"

Antonio Fung Chung | Christie Street, Wolltoncraft

"I would like to send a quick email to pass on my sincere thanks to Matthew Hanlon for his persistent and ongoing service.
Matthew is a consummate professional and is a real asset to your organisation.
I have dealt with many property managers in my time and the skill set of the majority is poor to say the least. Matthew has been a real pleasure to deal with, both during normal proceedings and the minor hiccups that have occurred.

I hope it is well recognised within Marriott Lane that Matthew is a real and quality employee.

I have no issues recommending or using Marriott Lane in the future based on my dealing with Matt."

Nick Sinclair | Sailors Bay Road, Northbridge

"Our flat has been lease our via Marriott Lane for over 3 years now and Matthew is far and away the best portfolio Manager we have ever had. He is pro-active, reliable, easy to deal with and always has the owners best interests at heart.

Just recently he has undertaken inspections of our property and recommended a course of action that has saved us considerable money.

This is in addition to last year when we were overseas and dealing with Matthew only via email that again he managed a difficult situation with the tenant very well and very one ended up happy. He is a great operator."

Martin Wise | Willoughby Road, Naremburn

"I have decided to sell my unit and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for looking after me so well during the time you managed my unit.

In particular I thank Matthew Hanlon for all the help and hard work he did for me. He always managed to lease my unit for me and always at an increase in the rent even in difficult times.

Recently the Body Corporate had to do major work in my unit and at the time I was overseas so Matthew undertook all this extra work on my behalf. Ha had to act as my Project Manager overseeing the work arranging to have the unit painted and organising the laying of carpet.

At the same time he kept in constant contact with me so that I was aware of how the work was progressing. I am very happy with the management of my unit and I have no hesitation in recommending Marriott Lane to prospective clients."

Betty Morris | Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft

"Thanks Matthew, you have done a great job with this and we appreciate the updates you have provided us with throughout the process.

We are super busy organising lots of different parts of our relocation at the moment and it has been a big relief knowing you have kept us in the loop. Thanks for your great work."

Kay Pawson | Miller Street, Cammeray

"An appreciative note to thank you for your assistance in the successful leasing of my unit. Because I do not live in Sydney your courteous attention to details and negotiations in phone conversations were much appreciated."

Keith Moore | McMahon Point

"ML have been managing our property rental in Greenwich since mid 2005 and just over a year ago MH joined Marriott’s becoming our contact person within the agency.

From a property management perspective our house probably isn’t the simplest to manage and there’s been a few times that we’re required his attention and support and he’s always managed to handle each situation admirably.

Since joining Marriott’s, Matthew has been both professional and incredibly delightful to deal with during some unusual one-off occurrences: possum eradication, carpet repairs & new fencing to name a few. Matthew particularly deserves accolades during a tenancy change over at Christmas time when faced an incredibly tetchy ex-tenant. As we sourced resolution for the ex- tenant, Matthew was able to demonstrate the necessary strength of character required for the difficult situation whilst also keeping our interests at the fore. All the while he was communicative with me, with a positive & supportive attitude, and often with great humour which really helped ease the tension of the situation.

I always feel that he’s doing the best for both the landlord and the tenant and he is a great asset to ML."

Belinda Evans | Wisdom Road, Greenwich

"Matthew,

Whilst I have always had good professional service from ML in leasing the above property I must comment that you have “raised the bar” in the service provided by you.

Very much appreciated."

Robert Moore | Crows Nest Road, Waverton

"I wanted to pass on my compliments as to how you have managed the selection and moving in of the new tenant. You have taken much of the load from me. As you know I am really busy so don’t have the time to get caught up in the details of what is happening – you took all of that hassle away from me and for that I thank you."

Jenny Dempsey | Wheatleigh Street, Naremburn

"Whilst I have always had good professional service from Marriott Lane in leasing the above property I must comment that you have “raised the bar “ in the service provided by you.

Very much appreciated.

All the best for the Christmas season and 2010."
