Kate Reijnen

Senior Property Manager

Footscray

03 9689 8388

Honesty. Integrity. Customer-focused

Kate Reijnen has a deep understanding of the rental market in the West. She’s worked in real estate for eight years, lives in the area and is a landlord herself. This means that she knows the Residential Tenancies Act back to front, but “I believe open and direct communication in most cases avoids the need to pull out the ‘rule book’, Kate says. “I feel all parties benefit from trusting relationships and especially for landlords, a rental property represents a considerable investment,” she says. Kate prides herself on delivering effective, efficient and friendly service at all times the same as what she would expect from her own agent if she were renting a property. She loves problem solving — no issue is too big or small — and describes herself as a “straight shooter.” “I’m friendly,” she says, “and firm but fair.”

What you see is what you get with Kate, which is why so many of her clients turn to her for her reliable service and honest, plain-speaking approach. The strong relationships Kate builds with owners and renters speaks to her authenticity and history of achieving great results for all involved.

When she’s not helping tenants find the best possible rentals and connecting landlords with the best possible tenants, Kate enjoys travelling and spending time with her husband and their two young girls. A keen baker, Kate also has a busy social life and loves to catch up with friends over a glass of wine.

"Consider yourself the luckiest tenant or landlord in Victoria (perhaps Australia), if you are dealing with Kate Reijnen at Greg Hocking Footscray. In my honest experience, Kate puts herself in tenant's/ landlord's shoes and just simply does her best to do the right thing. Thank you Kate for all your help in a very stressful time, by replying and communicating promptly and appreciate you making yourself available for an inspection at a short notice. Unfortunately, the market is full of amateurs/unprofessional and rude property managers those who are not willing to help either landlords or the tenants, in other words just doing this as a job. I was so lucky to have Kate Reijnen as my property manager - she is super friendly, professional, punctual and courteous. Thank you again, Keep up the great work :)"

"I have worked with a large number of property managers over the years and would have to say that Kate Reijnen is one of the best I have dealt with. We have had a number of issues with our property and Kate has gone out of her way to assist, putting in a huge number of hours. Cannot praise her enough."
