Not good at managing investor…

Not good at managing investor interests.

Proper procedures for reporting property damage caused by tenants were not followed, particularly under the oversight of the former rental manager.
This failure left investors without adequate protection.

Subsequently, the company made the significant decision to close and sell its rental division, a move that appears linked to mismanagement and an effort to avoid accountability for unresolved damage issues.

In addition, the sales department has demonstrated a lack of due diligence and insufficient focus on protecting clients’ interests, instead pursuing very low‑margin sales that appear to prioritise personal benefit over customer advantage. Using undermining and unpleasant tone and disrespect in conversation with the customer (sales).
Warning to others about sales department practices: client should be vigilant not to be convinced to sale at a the price that is very low and ask their own interests to be prioritised, and that clear policies are implemented to prevent similar issues in the future.

Be careful

Be careful, they do not care about buyers and just support sellers to hide and ignor issues!

Landlord ditched by agent Hodges for bad tenant sourced by them

Supported Hodges Werribee from the start at their early days. They sourced my tenant and make a promise for the world.
Now that I'm selling the property, I visited the property for exit inspection, found damages all every wall, rent in arrear, property left in dirty condition. Hodges refused to do more to chase the tenant. They advised me that they are not willing to take it VCAT as they no longer receiving management fee, though it's the same tenant they had sourced and managed.

I felt betrayed. They shared the profit and not willing to fight for the landlord when tenant just walked away with thousands of debt. Whose fault is it? they sourced the tenant and managed it for the past 2.5 years.
