“There is always a silver lining” so the saying goes. We are a firm believer in this concept. Out of the ashes of another agency’s foreclosure, Duffy Forsyth & Co was born.

The Company is now positioned as one of the areas leading boutique Real Estate Agencies. A service orientated company that is committed to building long-term relationships with our clients. We will not take the short cuts. We are prepared to go that extra inch to ensure the best contract is negotiated for you. We may not be the cheapest Agency, however, you will always achieve the very best result possible be it sales, rental management or the acquisition of a property.

Our double Church Street frontage, (next to the Car Park Arcade), ensures that your property will have a high profile display with constant foot traffic viewing our window both day and evening. Add your personally selected Promotional Program and you can rest assured that the best possible result will be achieved.

Whilst the larger “network” agencies will always argue “size equal results” we are proud of our results. Results that are equal to those being achieved by those larger network or franchise agencies. Results that have been achieved by our service dedication and the flexibility that a boutique office can provide – e.g. we are always able to schedule open for inspections during the time at which your property is looking it’s best. We will make professional recommendations and then provide you with service excellence in the marketing method that you have elected in consultation with us. Select from auction, private sale ( often referred to as “sale by negotiation”) or tender.

Our rent roll is expanding rapidly with the largest growth factor being personal referral from existing landlords and associated professionals. We are proud that we are viewed as the Company to trust with this recommendation and we will not let these clients down by providing a poor service. Owners moving overseas or interstate for business commitments entrust their family homes to our management.

We are proud of being a leader in this field, introducing photographic Condition Reports, clearing monies to owners as quickly as possible rather than once or twice a month. Ensuring the best possible service is given to not only yourselves the landlord; but to prospective tenants by always meeting them at your property so that we can demonstrate it’s best features – none of the $50 deposit and self inspection with the key to your valuable asset. We regularly work with the corporate world and send email notification of available properties to the Relocation Agencies on a weekly basis.

Our dedication to the industry is reflected in the ongoing staff training and the lecturing commitment undertaken by Anne Forsyth at Swinburne University, Prahran Campus.

We invite you to try us and see.

We are members of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria.
