Leah Calnan / founder

There is a real strategy around property management and this excites Leah. Good property management leads to a good quality of life for many people, and this domino effect excites her. Leah prides herself on her ability to design and help implement a good property management strategy to ensure your success.

 

With almost 30 years’ experience in the property industry, it is fair to say Leah lives and breathes this industry and remains truly passionate about it. She leads the pack in her ability to know the industry inside and out from all different perspectives; whether you are a property manager, a buyer’s advocate, an investor or even a renter, Leah is the mentor your business needs.

 

With her in-depth industry knowledge, Leah specialises in working with you or your clients to help you make your business/es tick in the most efficient way possible. She genuinely wants to make the industry a better place; she wants to make the businesses better, and the people in it better.

 

Leah’s passion has not waned over the years, despite the incessant changes to legislation and technical requirements. The technological shift in the last few years has been immense. These constant changes, twists and turns have proven to be challenging for many but on the contrary, they have motivated Leah to learn more and more. She is now keen to impart this knowledge to others so that they can blossom in the ever changing, competitive marketplace. Leah has identified a real need to train and educate investors and property managers alike, so the industry can run smoothly and more efficiently.
