Scouting a property manager who picks up the phone, chases arrears promptly and treats your asset as if it were their own can feel harder than finding the tenant in the first place. To spare you the ring-around, we’ve sifted through client reviews, fee schedules and service promises to spotlight 16 stand-out agencies servicing Perth – and, where relevant, the wider Australian market – for 2025. Expect at-a-glance snapshots covering core services, tech tools, landlord perks and the kind of fees you should budget for.
A quick refresher: in Australia a licensed property manager handles leasing, reference checks, rent collection, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, compliance paperwork and end-of-year financial reporting. For long-term residential stock the 2025 benchmark sits around 8–12 % of weekly rent plus a one-off letting fee, although commercial contracts march to a different drum. Once you’ve compared the contenders, shortlist three, request a written breakdown, and probe their communication style and inspection cadence before signing.
1. Blackburne Property Management
Sitting inside the respected Blackburne development group, this boutique arm offers property management services tailored to Perth’s top-end apartments and townhouses. A deliberately lean rent roll means each manager has time to protect capital value and reduce vacancy.

Ideal For
Investors chasing executive tenants and white-glove care for high-value city or beachfront dwellings.
Fees & Contract Highlights

2025 Innovations
Blackburne has launched an AI rent-setting engine that crunches live suburb data to minimise days vacant, plus a sustainability maintenance programme covering solar monitoring and green-certified cleaning.
Things to Note
Managers cap their portfolios well below the industry average (a win for service quality), but the geographic footprint is limited to Greater Perth—regional landlords will need different representation.
2. Rentwest Solutions
One of WA’s longest-standing independent agencies, Rentwest Solutions manages more than 1,200 residential doors stretching from Joondalup down to Rockingham and east to the foothills. The team’s mantra is “no surprises”, so every cost is baked into a single, easy-to-read fee and every landlord has a dedicated portfolio manager backed by a central support hub.

Founded by former investors who were fed-up with conveyor-belt property management services, the team caps each portfolio at fewer than 100 doors and backs that promise with industry awards and five-star online reviews.

Your Investment, In Capable Hands
From shoestring startups to global franchises, the agencies above prove there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to property management services. Boutique outfits such as PPM and M Residential win fans with lean rent rolls and direct access to the business owner, while big brands like Ray White and LJ Hooker trade on national databases, deep compliance teams and slick prop-tech suites. Fees in 2025 still orbit 6.6 – 12 % of weekly rent (plus a letting fee), yet the extras differ: AI rent-pricing engines, IoT smoke-alarm monitoring and AR styling apps can justify the upper end for some landlords.
To zero-in on the right partner, shortlist three companies, request a written schedule of every possible charge and ask pointedly how they minimise vacancy days. Compare inspection frequency, digital portals and escalation processes before you sign.
And once the tenancy is humming, keep carpets and upholstery “inspection-ready” with premium care from Five Star Carpet Cleaning Perth—a simple upgrade that protects both yield and tenant satisfaction.
