MRE - SOUTH YARRA

We had the pleasure of renting our apartment with MRE for the past year, and we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our amazing Property Manager, Andrea. Throughout our stay, Andrea was always responsive, kind, and incredibly helpful. Whenever we had questions or needed assistance, she made sure to respond promptly and took great care of us as tenants. Her professionalism and genuine willingness to help made our experience living in the apartment truly smooth and comfortable. Even now that we are moving, Andrea continues to go above and beyond by helping us look for other available apartments within MRE. We truly appreciate her dedication and the effort she puts into supporting her tenants. Her help has meant even more to us during this special time in our lives as we are now living with our newborn. Knowing we had someone reliable and caring assisting us made a big difference. Thank you so much, Andrea, for all your support and kindness. We are truly grateful and wish you all the best.

This review is for Jake Hu at MRE at the South Yarra office. He has been the best real estate agent I have ever engaged with so far. He has extensive experience with apartment sales. He is honest and has great communication skills. He sold my apartment off-the-market very quickly at a price I am happy with. He handled issues professionally for a good outcome for everyone. Finding the right real estate agent makes such a big difference in the process compared to my past experience. I highly recommend his service if you have an apartment for sale. Helen

MRE Real Estate – Outstanding, team-based service Nicole and I have just successfully rented an apartment through MRE Real Estate, and the experience genuinely stood out. We were looking for a simple but specific solution: a one-bedroom apartment with car parking, close to our design studio in Collingwood, to use two to three days per week while we continue to live in Hepburn Springs. We hadn’t rented for many years—having lived overseas for a long time, then returning to Australia and purchasing both a home and an investment property—so we lacked recent rental references. Despite owning and running a successful architectural and interior design business, and having worked closely with real estate in Melbourne for over a decade renovating and preparing high-end properties for sale, our rental applications kept being unsuccessful. Frankly, it was frustrating. The process often felt transactional and indifferent, and it seemed our applications were simply being pushed aside. We were close to abandoning the rental idea altogether and purchasing instead. Then we inspected a well-located apartment in East Melbourne and met Tali at the open. I had a brief but meaningful conversation with her, explained our situation, and shared our growing frustration at being overlooked. Tali listened, understood the context, and treated us like people rather than a checklist. She was professional, warm, and genuinely engaged. Our application was approved. We moved in this week, and the apartment is perfect. Thank you, Tali. The application and lease process was then handled by Andrea, who was exemplary—professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and clear at every step. No wasted time, no confusion, no unnecessary back-and-forth. Based on that experience, we decided to hand over our own 2-bedroom + study Collingwood apartment to MRE for long-term leasing (it had previously operated as a full-time Airbnb). That’s where Lee came in. She inspected the property, provided sound market advice, and we quickly agreed on pricing. The apartment was leased within two weeks, at the right price, to the right tenant. Once again, Andrea handled the lease arrangements seamlessly, and the tenant moved in yesterday. What impressed us most is that MRE genuinely operates as a team. There is no internal competition—just collaboration. In an industry that is often emotionally charged and inconsistent, that matters enormously. Having worked closely with real estate for many years, I can say with confidence that this is not common. Well done to Lee, Andrea, Tali, and the wider MRE team. If you are looking to rent or lease out property, I can highly recommend them.
