Built around staying close to every property.
We work from firsthand knowledge of the streets we live in, invest in, and manage properties in.
Who’s behind Oakstone.
Oakstone was founded by Sue and Nim. Between us we bring over 25 years of professional experience across fields that demand precision, accountability, and getting the detail right – the kind of experience that transfers directly into how we run a property relationship.
We’re also property investors ourselves. That matters. We understand what it feels like to hand over the keys to an asset you’ve worked hard to buy, and to want an agent who treats it accordingly. We built Oakstone around that perspective.
Inner Melbourne is genuinely our home ground – not as a market category, but as a place we know intimately. The streets, the buildings, the pockets that hold their value, the ones with strong tenant demand, the ones to approach carefully. That kind of familiarity takes years to build and it shows up in the advice we give.
We measure our success simply: clients who stay, and clients who refer. That’s the standard we work to.
We work from firsthand knowledge of the streets we live in, invest in, and manage properties in.
Oakstone is a licensed Victorian real estate agency. We work with a carefully selected portfolio of inner Melbourne properties – and we’re directly involved in every client relationship we take on.
The principles we built this around.
We focus deeply on the properties in our portfolio. No overflow, no corners cut.
We’ll tell you what we think – about your property’s rental price, its condition, the market, and whether we’re the right agency for you. We’d rather lose a listing than give advice we don’t stand behind.
You shouldn’t have to chase your property manager for updates. We treat proactive communication as a baseline – not a selling point. If something happens with your property, you’ll hear from us first.
We run tight systems for tracking, reporting, and maintenance because you shouldn’t have to chase us for updates.
Every property is managed directly by one of our principals. That means direct access, genuine accountability, and no layers between you and the people making decisions on your property.
Our goal isn’t a transaction – it’s a relationship. Many of our best client connections will come through referrals from people who trusted us enough to recommend us. That’s the standard we work toward.
Straightforward, and done properly.
We work with a select number of properties at any time. Not because we can’t handle more – but because the quality of what we do depends on it. Every landlord gets direct access to the principals. Every property gets genuine attention.
We don’t operate from a shopfront and we don’t have a support team fielding your calls. What we have is a well-run operation with good processes, modern tools, and two people who are directly accountable for every property relationship we take on.
If you want the agency with the most offices or the longest client list, we’re probably not it. If you want the agent who knows your property, returns your calls, and gives you a straight answer – we’d like to talk.

What you can expect from us.
When you bring your property to Oakstone, you’re not joining a rent roll – you’re starting a working relationship with people who take that seriously. We’ll learn your property, understand your goals as an investor, and manage it as if it were our own.
We’ll be honest with you when something needs attention, transparent about costs, and proactive when market conditions change. We’ll return your calls. We’ll send the inspection report without you asking. We’ll tell you when your rent is below market and recommend a review – even when it creates more work for us.
We’re building Oakstone’s reputation one property at a time. Every client relationship matters to us – not as a number in a portfolio, but as a person who trusted us with a significant asset. We don’t take that lightly.
If this sounds like the agency you’ve been looking for.
We’re happy to have a no-pressure conversation about your property and whether we’re a good fit for each other.
