We can't thank Jaclyn enough...

We had listed rental of our home with other real estate agency who was struggling to get the house leased for 4 weeks. We later involved Jaclyn and once Jaclyn took over, we felt relieved as she was able to get many inspection done asap, got few applications and secured tenant in just 3-4 days who also moved in in 4 days after. Jaclyn did thorough review of our home, suggested us much needed (legally) fixes, arranged that for us and got that done before tenant moved in.

Jaclyn was always available to us. I never had a moment where I felt she didn't understand our needs. She is hard working, passionate BDM who understands the market, people and gets her job done.

We can't thank Jaclyn enough for her amazing work. Highly recommend her and the Doug Disher real estate!

A very helpful team...

I am a student who has just arrived in Australia, which has resulted in me not having a local rental record in Australia. This makes it very difficult for me to find a suitable house to rent. Charlotte and her team helped me find the house I wanted. They are a professional, and thoughtful team.

Very Impressed

After conducting some research I decided to approach Doug Disher to manage my unit in Toowong. From the onset, I was very impressed with how responsive and helpful they were. I then met Jaclyn, her passionate for the job is unmatched.
What impressed me was her ability to assist me navigate this process with ease, the process was efficient but I never felt rushed. Jaclyn has an incredible eye for detail, each step of the process was clearly communicated to me and I knew exactly what to expect and what to do next. I found that if I ever had a question Jaclyn already had an answer and solution. Throughout the process, Jaclyn kept in regular contact with me and worked around my schedule. I also had the pleasure of meeting my new property manager Charlotte, another fantastic member of the team.
I’m very satisfied with the service on offer and the outcome that Jaclyn and her team achieved for me and my new tenants. It really was an effortless and positive experience that exceeded my expectations.

Gratitude to Toby, Doug, and the DDRE Team for 22 Years of Exceptional Service

A very big thank you to Toby, Doug and the DDRE team for managing our rental unit for 22 years, as well as its very recent sale.

The DDRE team have been always very professional, efficient, and practical over the years; understanding the rental market, managing tenant concerns and unit wear and tear. When it came time to sell, Toby and Doug and their team know and understand the market so well. They provided us with practical presentation advice, great support for prepping the unit for sale, kept us up to date with preparation progress, as well as great communication during the sale, and their efforts resulted in our unit selling within a couple of days. They could not have been more helpful to us.

Thank you again, so appreciated. We wish you all well for the future and thank you for making our investment unit ownership and sale such a positive experience.

Professional, Efficient and Helpful

Very easy to work with. I've used Toby and Doug Disher twice now. Once, to buy a house and just recently to sell a unit. Both times they were professional, efficient and helpful. Toby's suggestions made the photos of my unit in the ad look amazing.

Exceptional First-Time Renting Experience

This is my first time renting a house. The service provided by this agency is very considerate. I am especially grateful for Ivoni's enthusiastic help. My daughter likes her very much. She is very enthusiastic and cheerful. It made me feel very warm all of a sudden. I feel very warm in a foreign country. I am also grateful for the help of new friends such as Chris. Their service is very professional. Thank you.

Friendly professional real estate agents

Doug and Toby and the team at Doug Disher are friendly, professional real estate agents. they were genuinely looking to work with us and the seller to negotiate a sale, with the least amount of fuss. I received a couple of follow up calls from doug, to see if he could be of any assistance, They provide good old fashioned customer service. I would highly recommend their services.

Exceptional Property Management

Janette has been looking after 3 of our Brisbane properties and I have only positive things to say about her professionalism, efficiency, and management. She keeps us up to date, she manages all aspects of our tenancies and takes the pressure off us. We live in Cairns so knowing Janette is managing everything for us is a great relief. Thanks for your efforts and support.

Great Result and Great Experience

Toby was excellent. From the start, his advice regarding a refresh to smarten up the unit through to staging the unit for sale was extremely helpful. Toby and his team then obtained quotes, managed the trades, and attended to every minor detail smoothly and efficiently.

To anyone seeking a top property manager...

From past experience as Secretary for a Body Corporate, I have found Janette McKillop stands head and shoulders above other property managers who have managed apartments in our complex.

Prior to tenants moving in, Janette will make sure every 'i' is dotted and 't' is crossed regarding all issues with moving in - power supply, internet access, parking, lift accessibility etc. From my perspective from that day on, her professionalism continues with a genuine interest in the wellbeing of her tenants, the apartment owner and anyone else involved.

I'm sure Janette would be highly regarded by owners of any residential properties she managed, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone seeking a top property manager.

Seamless Real Estate Experience

I sold my house in Taringa years ago through Doug and recently purchased a unit in St. Lucia though him. He is the consummate professional, the purchase was seamless and any problems or queries were handled by either himself or a member of his team in a prompt and efficient manner.
I would highly recommend Doug and his team at Doug Disher Real Estate.

Delightful and Seamless Purchase

We purchased our property in St Lucia through Toby at Doug Disher Real Estate. Toby was an absolute delight to work with, from the first inspection to final settlement. Friendly and helpful at every step of the way, it was an easy and seamless process. Great assistance and prompt service from all the team at Doug Disher along the way, we'd definitely recommend them. Thanks to all!

Outstanding Property Manage

Never before have we had a more personable and professional property manager. Charlotte Young from Doug Disher Real Estate looked after our Toowong rental property for three years, and our interaction has always been pleasant and professional. Any rental issues were always addressed promptly, and professionally. We feel very glad and fortunate to have had Charlotte Young from Dough Disher as our property manager over those tree years.

Exceptional Team Support

I just wanted to post a note of appreciation to you and your outstanding team. First of all, many thanks personally for taking my calls and for your help behind the scenes in helping us secure a tenancy.

Secondly I just wanted to acknowledge the tremendous support from your team. Chris went way beyond the call of duty with time, help, advice and general support on a property that he wasn't even managing. I'd also like to thank and acknowledge Charlotte's excellent work outside of business hours and her help in securing the property on a Sunday evening. Finally, I'd also like to thanks Ivoni who, at very short notive, was kind enough to give us a virtual tour of the property via WhatsApp (never an easy or "comfortable" thing to do).

All in all it has been a truly excellent experience and one that I will remember and recommend to all who will listen!

Made the ultimate difference

Hey Ivoni, thankyou for the warm &friendly inspection - that made the ultimate difference in being able to get a rental place within 2 days of inspection. It was record time for us (lol). What an unbeatable task it had been for the Doug Disher team in being able to deliver a quick turnaround for my family and I, & to be able to receive keys within 2 days of inspection, is nothing short of outstanding and very professional. Thankyou Doug Disher Team

Excellent service provided by all staff.

Excellent service provided by all staff at Doug Disher Real Estate! I didn't end up purchasing a property from them but that wasn't a problem. Doug et al were still super happy to assist me whenever I contacted them about an inspection. I was one of those buyers who looked forever before actually purchasing. Never fazed Doug who was always ready to meet me at a property. Thank you very much for your assistance over the extended period of looking and I do apologise for being a picky buyer ☺️

Very happy

We are very happy that with the help of Ivoni and Jaclyn, we found a house that we are satisfied with and can finally move into our new home. Thanks to Ivoni for patiently waiting for me and my husband to inspection separately twice so we didn't miss it, and after that, special thanks to Jaclyn for guiding us step by step through all the process and keeping us informed of the progress, we all obviously felt that Doug Disher was much better than other companies of the same type in the whole process in terms of comprehensive service ability, and we sincerely hope that anyone who needs it will be able to meet a team like them and get the accommodation they want.

I value professionalism & the team at Doug Disher Real Estate has that in spades!

It’s always daunting to change property agents, especially since I live overseas and rely heavily on my agent to look after my unit. A friend recommended Janette McKillop when she was with her previous company. When Janette left, there was a significant reduction in service standards at the old company. I missed her efficiency. I contacted her & she was more than happy to take over my account. Janette then referred me to Jaclyn Lazarou who would handle the formalities relating to the changeover. To change agents twice in 6 months was stressful but Jaclyn made the whole process seamless & completed in no time! Jaclyn was so friendly and amazingly prompt in replying to my emails. She was very proactive & thorough. She kept me constantly updated of the status of the changeover. It’s obvious she loves her job & cares for her clients.

I’m so grateful to Jaclyn for her invaluable advice & for laying the groundwork. I value professionalism & the team at Doug Disher Real Estate has that in spades!

Exceptional Professional Experience.

Exceptional professional experience. Toby Disher went above and beyond in his real estate knowledge of the area, advised of all outgoings to consider and was totally up to date on the recent history of the building.
Notching was too much trouble for Toby to investigate or to attend to on my behalf as the purchaser.
I wish I could use Toby for all of my real estate dealings throughout Australia, my mind would then be at rest.
Can’t recommend Toby highly enough.

Sale of the Century

The sale of the century. After 31 years living in an old Queensland Cottage built in 1910, it was time to go into something modern. I loved that house and it has most of my adult memories ( good,great and bad).
But it needed lots of work to bring it up to this century, and my heart wasn't in it.
Doug and son Toby were aware of that from the start and made every step of the way stress free and smooth.
I applaud their professionalism, and transparency of every process related to me. Certainly Doug and Toby's knowledge of the real estate market was exceptional, and reflects their years of experience in the Western Suburbs.
I would highly recommend Doug Disher Real Estate to anyone wishing to buy in the area, and in fact anywhere in Brisbane.
Congratulations and Thank-you Team Taringa.

We has a positive experience with Doug and his team . They were, at all times, friendly and willing to share their extensive knowledge of the market and the area. After the auction Toby and Deb ensured that we had the information we needed to proceed with the purchase. We found them professional, readily communicative and efficient. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I've had an amazing experience.

A big shoutout to Charlotte! As a tenant, I've had an amazing experience dealing with her. Some real estate agents and property managers can be really unpleasant to deal with and they treat tenants poorly, Doug Disher's team is a breath of fresh air. They genuinely care about tenants and are always ready to assist. Charlotte, in particular, has been incredibly fair, responsive, and professional. She's been so kind that I'd feel bad if I didn't get back to her promptly. Hopefully, if I'm back in the area, I'll have the chance to deal with the team again.

A great team to rent through.

A great team to rent through honestly, efficient and responsive, it has actually been pleasant renting with Janette and her team. Shout out to Ivoni, she made inspections easy, and was lovely to chat with, offering a lot of assistance and great advice towards the end of our lease, it made moving easier and our exit more manageable, which is needed in the current market.

I would like to thank the Doug Disher residential leasing team, particularly Charlotte and Chris.
