"Property Manager"
Had a great rental experience through Karen. Until the day I handed keys back and Karen claimed the property was not acceptable even after a $500 end of lease clean, Karen ignored all my emails and correspondence regarding the property and took me to court without my knowledge, she had forwarding addresses, emails and phone numbers and deliberately failed to contact me. Karen lied about damage and rubbish that was from the previous tenants (proven in conditions report) and acted deliberately misleading to obtain financial gain for the landlord. Not trustworthy or professional at all!

"So professional, so pleasant and so easy to deal with"
We have recently listed our home for lease through Ray White Brunswick and Ive dealt very closely with Karen over the past few weeks so I wanted to offer my feedback. Initially we had three agents come through to view the property. The other two agents, whilst very professional, viewed the property as a standard two bedroom, one bathroom apartment that just happened to have an large extra floor and they naturally offered standard two bed one bath rental valuations. Karen however viewed this place in terms of the potential it offers as a large two bedroom apartment. I found the ideas she offered in terms of how to market the property very original and she never spoke to me in standard two bed, one bath terms. It was for that reason we decided to list the property with Ray White. Since the property has been listed Karen has kept us fully informed. Nothing has been too much trouble for her and, despite the fact we know you have a large number of rental properties, she has always made us feel like her number one client. In the midst of us dealing with the stresses associated with packing up the house to move to Sydney she has been so professional, so pleasant and so easy to deal with she has made the whole experience totally uncomplicated. She really made that whole aspect of the move completely stress free. As this is our home and was never intended as an investment property we had discussed, at length, who our ideal tenants might be. We always said we would love it if a young professional couple would take the lease, though we knew, given the rental estimation, that would be a stretch. Once again Karen has come through found us the ideal tenants. Thanks to Karens efforts I know we made the right decision to list the property with your office.

"I was so impressed that Karen went over and above the call of duty"
As an astute home owner, I contacted five local real estate agents to compare companies and decide who should manage my property. I was so impressed with Karen Arnold - her enthusiasm, professionalism and the fact that she was the one person who contacted me to see if I had made a decision or needed further clarification. I have engaged Ray White Brunswick to manage the property for my rental. Karen's attention to detail has been fantastic, five minutes after the open for inspection this am she called me to run through the applicants and will follow up on Monday morning when the applications come through. And then... this evening I locked myself out of the apartment! I called Karen at 7.30pm as she was the only person who has the spare key, she came out to my place and delivered the spare key so I could access my apartment without having to call out a locksmith. What a gem! I was so impressed that Karen went over and above the call of duty.

"Can't recommend her highly enough."
Karen was just amazing to deal with, from the Open for inspection, all the way through the application process and getting us set up in a new rental property.We really appreciate all her hard work and how quickly she responded to us. Can't recommend her highly enough.

"Amazingly attentive property manager"
This lovely lady is an amazingly attentive property manager. She is a passionate people person and strives to get everyone in to a property that will suit their needs entirely. She is completely trustworthy which is not something so commonly found in real estate. On top of everything else, she is still giving me references 5 years after I last leased a property through her. Dedicated is an understatement!

"Impressed"
After a few agents/agencies I had almost given up on using a professional and was considering self managing and leasing, however given my work being abroad often this option was not prefered I was lucky enough to be referred to Karen. I was so impressed with the level of professionalism, attention to detail and her knowledge of my properties rental value, not to mention she leased it from the first open for inspection where my last agents were unable to lease it for over 6 weeks and at a much higher rent. Dont take a risk with the seemingly agent lotto, save yourself some time and money and speak to Karen, as I am sure that if she is as efficient with your property as she was mine, you will be thankful you changed. Thanks again Karen for the wonderful job and please contact me when I am back in Aus to discuss my other Brunswick house.

“Inner City Hum!”
Weston Street is one of Brunswicks best, stretching from Sydney Road, accross Lygon Street, and ending in Brunswick East. The Sydney Road end is largely commercial, including Barkly Square shopping Centre, The Brunswick Hotel (The Brunny - excellent comedy and open mic nights - check them out if that's your thing!)

“Everything at your doorstep”
This stunningly located street can get a little busy, as many locals use it to bypass the Glenlyon Road/ Sydney Road intersection, however if a little through traffic does not bother you, it is the perfect location to enjoy everything Brunswick has to offer. With Sydney Road Trams and the Jewell Station a short walk away, yo…

“Inner City Dream”
Perfect Brunswick location, with some cracker apartment blocks. Sydney Rd is meters away, as well as Albion Street Train Station, so you have trains, trams and busses, as well as supermarkets, shops, cafes, bakeries, this is Brunswick at its best. Never fail to lease homes in this area quickly. Karen Arnold, Senior Prope…

Iconic Brunswick Street sign, with a Bear sticky taped to the pole, and thankfully captured by google street view for posterity, Grylls street is one of those Streets you only go on when you live there, meaning that its very quiet.

“Quiet and Convenient”
Even though its listed as a street, South Audley St has a dead end and is off Victoria Street, close to Lygon Street Trams. Mostly homes, there is ROW access to some units also. Tram ride down Lygon Street to the CBD, very convenient. Karen Arnold, Senior Property Manager Ray White Brunswick

I love living and working in Brunswick, there are always friendly faces, a great vibe, brilliant and interesting shops, and everything you could need is a walk, ride or tram away.

“Convenience is an understatement”
With the Eastern end of the street between Sydney Road and Lygon Street, Albert Street is super convenient, the street also includes a great Woolworths Supermarket West of Sydney Road, and some brilliant parks at the end. A mix of commercial and residential, great for that inner city feel. We manage a lot of properties on th…

“Community Spirit”
One of the most vibrant communities in the inner north, Brunswick East manages to both hum along and stand still all at once. Lygon Street rivals its Carlton neighbor nowadays for excellent dining options, whilst some of the best brunches in Melbourne hide on every corner (especially Pope Joans on Nicholson Street).
