Inner Melbourne – Property Management
Property management, made personal.
Every property gets our full attention. We get to know the property, stay close to the detail, and keep things simple.
Sue and Nim run Oakstone directly. We live in inner Melbourne, invest in the same suburbs we manage, and are reachable when it matters – without the wait.
The precincts we know, the buildings we’ve walked through, the streets we’d invest in ourselves.
We take on properties we can genuinely look after. That means a considered approach to every landlord relationship we build.
A different kind of agency.
Oakstone is a real estate agency focused on inner Melbourne. We work with a carefully selected portfolio of investment properties across the CBD, South Yarra, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Prahran, and Richmond.
We’re interested in being genuinely useful to the landlords and vendors we work with – and building the kind of reputation that earns referrals rather than advertising spend.
If you’re looking for an agency that communicates proactively and treats your property like an asset worth caring for – we’d like to hear from you.

-
Capped portfolio size
We manage fewer properties so each one gets the attention it deserves. We don’t chase volume at the expense of quality.
-
You deal with the owners
You deal with the owners. We handle the coordination behind the scenes so you don’t have to. The people you meet at the start are the people running your management. That doesn’t change.
-
We know the area firsthand
Our knowledge of inner Melbourne isn’t research. It’s firsthand – which buildings hold value, which streets attract the right tenants, and what that means for your returns.
-
Straightforward advice, no agenda
We tell you what we’d want to know if it were our property. No upselling, no noise – just clear communication and honest recommendations.
