About our property management team
Property Management Subiaco (and surrounding suburbs)
Our team is able to provide our clients with a wealth of property management experience. Our point of difference is that we provide each of our owners with a personalised service and unlike other agencies we have a very low staff turnover.
The Property Exchange provides its staff with excellent working conditions which offers a work life/balance which means everyone here is highly motivated, positive and maintains the highest level of customer service. Everyone works together to take care of paperwork, maintenance, managing tenants and keeping up with legislation so our clients can have freedom and peace of mind, at the same time maximizing their rental income.
We like to take a team approach to managing our clients properties, if for instance your usual property manager is away, there is always one of our experienced team to step in at a moment’s notice. We take the marketing of our rental properties very seriously. We understand that the current rental market is competitive and we have the market knowledge to ensure your property stands out from the rest.

MELANIE HOBDAY
Senior Property Manager
Melanie stumbled into real estate in 2006 when she started as a Business Development Manager in the Western Suburbs of Perth, where she gained a great understanding of what owners are looking for in their property manager. Values of communication, transparency and being proactive are the qualities that Melanie learnt and strives to give to her clients on a day to day basis.
In 2008 Melanie decided she should get a deeper understanding of property management and its nuances if she was going to give potential clients a real insight as to why it is so important to choose a rental agency that will deliver on its promises and why do things in property management just seem to go wrong.
With Melanie’s down to earth and forthright personality property management is where her strengths lay. Since 2008 Melanie has had experience of managing properties across much of Perth which has given her a very broad and thorough education in dealing with many interesting aspects of property management.

LAUREN WENIGER
Property Manager
Lauren started her Property Management career in 2012 in the town of Geraldton located in the Mid West region of Western Australia on the coast of the Indian Ocean. During her time in Geraldton, Lauren dealt with a diverse group of owners and tenants and appreciated that, whatever your background, we should all be treated with respect and understanding. It is from these experiences that Lauren now has a great adaptation to all her clients and situations that arise in her role.
In 2015, Lauren decided to come down to the “big smoke” of Perth, where her desire for growth and endless opportunities in her career were greater. However, in 2017 everything changed as Lauren’s sister moved to Brisbane and Lauren duly followed.
Within a year Lauren yearned to back in Perth, she missed the beaches and her friends. On her return to Perth, Lauren joined The Property Exchange where her property management knowledge, beaming smile and personable skills are an asset to the team.
During her free time Lauren likes to wind down from property management and enjoys of course the Perth beaches and spending time with her partner, family and friends. Lauren also has a soft spot for animal and is on the lookout to add a fur baby to her family!
