  • MEET TILLY

“MRE is by the far the best real estate I’ve been with. Shout out to Tilly, Sophie and Alex who have been nothing short of amazing with my 2 years renting with them. The communication and speed to rectify any issues I had with the property is nothing like I’ve experienced in the past with other real estates, and I really hope that the next property I rent will be back with them!”

We would really recommend Tilly to anyone.”

“I recently purchased a tennanted property on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne. Talisa managed the purchase confidently and Tilly managed the required departure of the tenants respectfully, in a time-frame convenient for the tenants & myself. Because these ladies acted in such a professionally confident and respectful manner it gave me the comfort of knowing things were getting done right - particularly in these unpredictable COVID times. Great job, I owe you drink if ever see you in the pub!”

“Tilly Gillan has been very attentive and helpful when started to take over in managing our property since July. Tilly has been able to accomodate and work closely with both owner and tenant and come up with solution especially during this pandemic and hard time faced by both parties.”

I could tell even as a tenant that they have very high operating standards which is easily reflected into how efficient and thorough with the process. Their proactiveness to move things forward is a big plus for me! A big shout out to my property manager, Tilly Gillan for being an amazing manager! She has been extremely patient with me, never fails to ensure I have all the information I needed so that there's lesser communication going back and forth. What makes her stand out as a manager in my opinion was how empathetic she was during very trying times (when COVID-19 was at its peak), even though she may have a lot on her plate! A big thank you to you, Tilly! Will definitely miss you :)”
