As the property management landscape evolves, we are witnessing a new breed of property entrepreneurs who are redefining the industry with innovative approaches, cutting-edge technology, and a fresh perspective on client service.

These trailblazers are not just managing properties; they are transforming the entire business model, creating more efficient, customer-centric, and profitable ventures.

If you’re seeking motivation, education, and a reminder of how excellent property management can be, this episode is a must-listen.

I chat with Chester Toohey, the young founder and director of Toohey Property Management, based in Brisbane. At just 21, Chester has already made a significant impact in the property management industry with his innovative solutions and exceptional service, focused on long-term rentals. Starting his journey at 18 with short-term rentals, Chester has grown his company by emphasising a client-first approach and leveraging technology. His vision, leadership, and dedication serve as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring property management entrepreneurs.

“Finding your rhythm is really important. For me, that’s waking up early and getting all the urgent tasks done, like hitting the tennis ball into someone else’s court.”
