Matt McKenna

“Finding a good professional agency team with honesty, integrity and good work ethics can be and was quite daunting especially if one is new in the game. However when I ran across Matthew McKenna of MRE {Melbourne Real Estate] he helped lay all my stress and fears away in no time. His patience and reassurance was very timely and his team subsequently found me a good tenant for my commercial property. They've managed it for me for almost 3 years now without a hiccup. I have absolutely no issues or regrets, and would highly recommend them.”

Joseph Saigal

“MRE, in particular Matthew McKenna, are the best real estate agent, I plus my family use MRE to manage our properties, when there are issues with the property, a swift email to alert the landlord is there.. trust is the key and never have to 2nd guess if something needs to be rectified. Have been with MRE for over 10 years and couldn't be happier with the service.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Matt. He has displayed a degree of professionalism that I haven’t yet witnessed in my 10 years of renting. From day one, he has been responsive, proactive, efficient and friendly – providing an extremely high level of service traditionally skewed towards the owner. An example of this service involved a recent issue we had with a rubbish removal company collecting out of hours, multiple times a week behind our apartment. The moment I mentioned it to Matt, within 20 minutes he had provided me with the steps to take in order to get the issue resolved including a contact and their direct number from the council complaints division. I have also received timely follow ups from him to see how things are tracking. He’s someone who cares about his clientele and this is demonstrated in every interaction we have with him. My fiancé and I are soon to invest in our first property and we would have no hesitation in asking Matt to manage this and any additional properties we purchase in the future.”

Claire Atkinson

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to Matthew McKenna for his wonderful work, dedication , patience high level of professionalism. My first purchase, an apartment is handled by MRE from finding good tenant to all matters related to the apartment. They have been handled with great efficiency making my investment in Melbourne a much stress-less one, more so when I live overseas. I take opportunity to also thank Jason Low whom I first knew in MRE. He , too displays high level of care and professionalism.. This means so much to investors like us who live overseas . We need people who care. I trust that MRE team will continue to look after us well. Thank you Matthew. You are such a joy to have as a Property Manager. Hope to meet you some day...”

Ade Rangkoto

“I've used Melbourne real estate for 4 or so years now. Their service to me has always been outstanding. Initially my investment property was promptly filled with a dream tenant. I've had 2 trouble free tenants and on time rental income every month ever since. I've heard some horror stories lately and it makes me appreciate their service all the more. Most certainly recommend this business!”

Patrick S

“This is a very professional real estate agency. Usually as renters, it will always be some trouble to deal with the agents as their money is making from the landlords instead of us. But this time, the whole renting process, gives me the impression that this Melbourne Real Estate treats every customer nicely and equally, which is hard to find these days. Our Property Manager Matthew McKenna is very responsive in replying our email questions, usually straightaway or no longer than 2 hours wait needed. What impressed me most is the YouTube video presented for the condition report, literally records down everything which is easy to check against at later stage. Apart from that, everything here is organised as far as I can tell. I prefer doing things following the book/procedure, so you know exactly what you are going to have by certain dates. And MRE exactly does that, from initial inspection, to keep us updated at every step of the application, to signing the contract, and to finally collect the keys, it's easy and smooth as best as I can think.”

Yudong Li

“We have had Matthew McKenna as our property manager since February after moving into our new apartment. In that time Matt has been nothing short of exceptional.

“I have been impressed with MRE's management of my investment property to date. Having endured mainly poor experiences with real estate agencies as a renter previously, I had low expectations when it came to finding a property manager. As cynical as I was, I cannot fault the communication, work ethic, attention to detail or professionalism of MRE. They have made the entire process from my initial inquiry through to securing a tenant a seamless experience. I am very grateful for the efforts of Matthew and particularly Tamara our property manager, and I would highly recommend MRE based on my experience so far.”

“I recently changed management to MRE, since my tenants decided to give notice in between the worse possible time (Christmas and New Year). After not been taken very seriously with the previous local agents, I decided to change over to MRE and I am very, very glad I did! Matthew McKenna and Nina Sidari provided me with the best result possible! An extra $25 per week, for a 2 year plus lease so if these tenants give notice, it won't be at the worse time of year! This all happened after the first inspection. Exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful for their wonderful service and 'can-do' attitude. HIGHLY recommend MRE and these two amazing people, Matt and Nina!”
