Thursday, 13 September 2018 by Chris

This blog is dedicated to all the hardworking property investors that I either know as customers of NextGen or met over the years. Targeted by the politicians, often blamed by the media, regularly taken advantage of by the banks, and almost always frowned upon by the general public, unlike other types of investors – property

Should a Sydney or Melbourne investor be concerned?

Friday, 17 August 2018 by Chris

I have a confession to make: I am a property investor BUT I have stopped reading the media about real estate! They are just depressing and I must admit, all this negative hype, was starting to get into my nerves and – I suspect – it was affecting my judgment. I saw it happening in

Season’s Greeting and Thank You

To our Dear Customers, Partners and Friends, 20...

NextGen Property Mgmt is a boutique Real Estate licensed agency that specialises in property management. NextGen Property Mgmt does NOT has a sales team unlike most other agencies that specialise in Sales and have Property Management as a side business.

Our area of focus is residential property and we operate exclusively in St George, Inner and South West Sydney.

NextGen was created from its infancy to cater for investors as it was founded by investors who quickly realised that in a highly regulated industry like Real Estate – competence, expertise, care and service by property managers varies greatly.

As an investor, you need to have trust for and feel valued by your property manager. You need to know that your property is being looked after with minimal disruption. At NextGen we understand that because we are investors living busy lives ourselves, so our promise to you is that you will no longer have to worry about your most valued asset because we will make sure to take care of it as if it is our own.
