I have known Simone Bullen for approximately
7 years. I have know Simone as a Property Manager and a Real Estate
Agent.
At all times Simone has been professional and
knowledgeable, Simone's has a great personality and that has always
been a benefit with new tenants. Simone is prompt with any issues
I have or my tenants have. There is never any delays when any problems
occur. I have had several Property Managers and Simone is the only
one that ensures my tenants pay on time, therefore I am extremely
happy as I receive my funds on time also.
I would highly recommend Simone to any prospective
Landlords. Her experience and knowledge makes her stand out above
the others in the industry.

Upon the recommendation of Simone Bullen Real Estate, a rental ad
was placed on the internet in the weeks leading up to property settlement.
Simone Bullen Real Estate had 6 potential tenants identified for
the first Open Inspection - which was only a few days after settlement.
From that Open, 4 quality applications were submitted for my approval.
The new tenants moved in the following week. The property was occupied
within 10 days of property settlement, a fantastic result from my
point-of-view as a new landlord. The overall experience was very
easy and positive. The dedicated team, at Simone Bullen Real Estate,
helped guide me through the issues likely to befall a first-time
landlord. As a result, I will use Simone Bullen Real Estate to manage
my next property.

I would like to start by thanking you for your amazing service that
I have been looking for everywhere and unable to find until not
long ago. I would like to say that I don't worry about my property
and tenant any more as I know we are both looked after, unlike my
previous agent.
I love that I don't have to wait days to get a phone call back from
Simone and that everything is dealt with urgently without any headaches.
I wish that I could put all my property's through Simone as I know
that would be stress and headache free. This is what you call service.
Thanks Simone and all he best.

After weeks of searching for a rental home, I found it a relief
when I came across Simone Bullen Real Estate. I found dealing with
other agents frustrating and time consuming, after constantly being
lied to, phone calls not being returned and just missing out on
that particular house. Simone Bullen found the time to listen and
went that little bit extra. She searched the perfect home for us.
After 1 week of her looking she rang us with the perfect home. She
got us through the home as quickly as possible. No going to opens
and competing with 100s of other people. Her personalised service
gave us belief that there are some firms committed to personalised
service and helping the tenant that one day will become a buyer
and then a seller. I would recommend her to anyone searching for
a home, and for the landlord it must be good knowing that there
is a firm out there that is constantly trying for both parties.
Thank You Simone you have been a great help

It has been some time that Simone Bullen has been looking after
our Kensington property. We have changed Real Estates several times,
due to dissatisfaction and continued problems and finally found
the right person to do the job. In our 7 years of owning an investment
property we never had a property Manager such as Simone, everything
is easy, hassle free, payments are always on time and even finding
new tenants doesn’t seem to be a task too difficult for Simone.
We literally forget we have an investment property as everything
is well looked after for us. In all of our dealings with Simone,
she has always been efficient in achieving what she needs to achieve,
her positive attitude and professional manner in which she treats
and deals with her clients and the tenants she looks after is second
to none. No one could have a better person managing their property.
Both Al and I have no hesitation in recommending Simone Bullen’s
Real Estate to look after their property!!

I'd just like to thank you for renting out
my property recently. Living in the UK made things a lot more difficult
for me and even getting other property managers to respond to my
calls and emails was a nightmare. So, when Wayne told me that you
had started up your own business I had no hesitation to hand you
the reins. Having seen how efficiently, honestly and tactfully you
operated in the past left me with no doubt that you would do great
job for me. I'll never forget how well you dealt with that unnameable
tenant several years ago which would have caused me great stress
if you were not dealing with him.
During the recent letting period in August 2005
(which wasn't long mind you) I really appreciated all your very
regular updates via email, which put me at ease knowing where things
were at. Then, within a couple of weeks you'd let my property for
the price I'd asked for, to a really great tenant. What more could
I ask for?
So, I just thought that
I'd say thanks for all the good work Simone and look forward to
property investment, knowing I have a well managed property

Simone did a great job advertising my property and finding tenants
quickly. I don’t believe I would have received the same personal
approach had I dealt with one of the “bigger” real estate
agents in the area. I particularly liked the fact that she specialised
in the rental market. She was very easy to work with and I would
recommend her services to friends.
A & K Martin, Kensington
The difference in service quality between you and our previous agent
is massive…Thanks.

Soon after purchasing our first investment property we moved to
Japan. Selecting a suitable property manager from overseas was no
easy task! We investigated five different property managers but
Simone Bullen Real Estate was head and shoulders above the rest.
From our first contact, and on all matters since, Simone has provided
us with efficient, detailed and friendly communication. We had a
great tenant signed up about a week after settlement. Without hesitation,
we would highly recommend Simone Bullen to anyone looking for an
experienced, dedicated property manager. Thanks for looking after
us!

Simone Buleen is without a doubt the most professional real estate
agent I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with! Everything
is dealt with professionally, without a fuss and in a timely manner.
I’ve dealt with many agents before who never return your calls,
never follow up and everything is problem, and it’s a breath
of fresh air to deal with an agent who’s focused on providing
exceptional and efficient service!

Simone Bullen Real Estate – A landlord’s
view
I’d like to pass on my experiences at having
Simone Bullen managing our rental properties. She has amazed me
in so many ways. My experience with other agents, generally big
name, is that you get better service from the accounts person than
the person supposedly caring for your property and interest. Enough
about other agents or this will go on for pages of negativity when
I’d rather talk about Simone.
I currently live in Japan so I really need a managing
agent, in fact I’d say I need a better than usual agent since
I can’t just pop around and check up on things. Simone has
been my eyes and ears in Melbourne to the extent that I can sleep
safe in the knowledge that Simone is truly doing her job and then
some. Simone has always responded to my communication quickly and
it’s done in a professional yet more importantly a friendly
manner. I assume that she treats everyone the same way since our
tenants love her too. She takes the time to do the little extra
stuff such as helping tenants in personal matters beyond the scope
of her duty but not her care. I have asked her questions and for
advice on various aspects of property ownership, building, etc that
I know other agents would’ve simply not tried to help on.
In fact I know that I wouldn’t have asked other agents since
you soon get a feel for whether people you’re dealing with
can be bothered.
I have only felt confident about an agent
once before and that person is now working at Simone Bullen Real
Estate, it doesn’t get any better than that. Our tenants feel
secure dealing with Simone and she is becoming a friend to our family.
When last in Oz we treated Simone and Maree to lunch, I feel that
they are part of my family’s professional team assisting in
real estate investment and wealth creation. Anyway if you’re
in doubt give her a call or pop around for a coffee with Simone
or Maree, I’m sure you’ll leave feeling that they are
experienced, professional and more importantly genuine caring people.

Just a quick note to Thank You so much for
leasing out the family investment property recently. My grandson,
who is an Estate Agent in the area highly recommended you, and with
good reason. I did not expect it to be leased out for the full asking
price, and within 3 days of it being on your books. It has eased
a lot of potential stress for me. I have been so pleased that I
will arrange another family investment property to be leased through
you also. Again, a big Thank You and wish you every happiness and
success that you deserve.
Trevor, Richmond
I would like to strongly recommend Simone
should you be requiring the services of a truly dedicated Property
Manager. In my 11 years in the real estate industry Simone would
easily be the most professional and helpful manager I have come
across.
Simone managed to lease my three level,
fully furnished townhouse in Richmond for the full asking price.
Most managers in the area werent interested in leasing it on a fully
furnished basis as it was all too"hard" for them, they
said their would be little demand and would only achieve circa $500
per week. Simone secured a tenant wanting 6 months for $595 per
week!!. Since then we decided to lease it unfurnished, within 2
weeks Simone had it leased again at full asking price on a 12 month
lease. I have recommended her to several clients, the feedback from
them has also been very positive.
A question you need to ask is whether you
want your property handled by most likely a young inexperienced
agent who has 300 properties to manage on a salary basis or someone
who owns her own business and thrives on referals. Another query
you may have is do I need an agent based in the same suburb? As
evidenced by my property and dozens others leased around Melbourne
by Simone, due to current technology in particular the internet,
this is not an issue as long as you’ve got a manager willing
to put in the hard yards as Simone is. Well done Simone!!
