We've been specialising in property management since 2008
If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing your property manager for updates, you’re not alone. Too many landlords are left unsure what’s happening with their property, waiting days for a response, or finding out about issues after they’ve already become costly.
Owning an investment property shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.
Many agencies are built around sales, with property management running in the background. At Real Estate HQ, it’s our focus. That means experienced people making sensible decisions, clear communication you don’t have to chase, and a principal who actually knows your property. You won’t be passed between a rotating list of new managers or have to explain your situation again every few months.
We take the headaches out of rental property ownership.
Why should you have to chase your property manager? Afterall what are you paying them for?
Experienced advice when you need to make a decision.
Direct access to our Principal Lu Bracher with 25+ years of property management experience.
Your property is our responsibility.
We solve problems, protect your valuable asset, handle the tenants and maintenance and give you peace of mind.
We look for sensible, cost-effective solutions — not just the easiest option.
Judicious maintenance management will protect your property, your cash flow and your ROI.
We maximise your rental return without compromising the quality of your tenant.
The goal isn’t simply to find a tenant — it’s to achieve a sustainable market rent.
With over 25 years in the South East Queensland property market, I’ve seen just about every issue a landlord can face — and I know how to handle them before they become bigger problems.
I take a hands-on approach, staying personally involved with every client and every property. You won’t be passed around or left waiting for answers. When something needs attention, it gets handled — quickly, properly and with your best interests in mind.
My role is simple: keep you informed, stay ahead of issues and guide you every step of the way — so you can feel confident your investment is being looked after and performing the way it should.
And if something does come up? You’ll deal with me directly — someone experienced, responsive, and focused on finding the right solution.

Experience
As a genuine boutique agency, you’ll deal with people who know you, know your property and understand your goals. You’re never passed between departments or treated like just another file in a large portfolio.
When you go looking for a new Agency maybe ask them when the Principal of the business last visited your property-don’t be surprised if it’s NEVER!
We intentionally manage fewer properties so we can provide the level of service, communication and attention that’s simply not possible in high-volume franchise offices.
Solutions, Not Just Updates
Anyone can tell you there’s a problem. We focus on resolving issues quickly, professionally and with the least disruption possible.
You’ll always know what’s happening with your property. We keep you informed with prompt, clear communication, so you’re never left wondering or waiting for a callback.
Build a relationship with an experienced team that knows your property inside and out. No constant staff changes. No repeating yourself every few months.
When something unexpected happens, you’ll have an experienced team helping you make informed decisions—not someone reading from a script or learning on the job.
From setting the right rent to managing maintenance wisely, every decision is made with your long-term investment performance in mind.
Small issues are dealt with before they become costly problems. We take care of the day-to-day challenges so you can spend less time worrying about your investment.
Enjoy the confidence of knowing what’s happening with your property without feeling like you have to manage your property manager.
With decades of experience, proactive management and attention to detail, you can trust that your property is being looked after, your tenants are being managed professionally, and your investment is in safe hands.
Step 1:
Call Me Direct On
0425 22 5678
We’ll have a simple, no-pressure conversation about your property, what’s working and what’s not — so I can understand exactly where you need support.
Step 2:
Get Clear, Expert Advice
On site, online or at my office I’ll walk you through what’s really going on, what could be improved and the best way forward — with honest, straightforward guidance you can trust.
Step 3:
Relax While It’s Handled
If you decide to move forward, I’ll take care of everything — from the handover to ongoing management — so your property runs smoothly without the stress.
By Landlords Who’ve Been In Your Shoes
We have recently sold two investment properties that we have owned for 14 years. Lu has been our property manager for the entire time, and we have been completely happy with the service that she has provided for us. She, and her team, have been great with their communication, and their timely decision making regarding tenants, and maintenance issues etc.
In 14 years we only had 1 week when the properties weren’t tenanted.
This year we made the decision to sell the properties, and again, Lu & her team worked very hard for us to get a great price, and with the conditions that we wanted.
We happily give a high recommendation to Lu & her team.
(Landlord – 14 years)
Lu is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of RTA QLD legislation. We are private landlords and recently had to deal with a very difficult tenant who repeatedly lodged baseless QCAT applications against us. With Lu’s guidance throughout the entire process, we were able to manage this challenging situation far more effectively and with much less stress.
We highly recommend Lu for investment property management — your property will undoubtedly be in excellent hands. She is dedicated, supportive, easy to talk to and committed to helping landlords achieve fair and reasonable outcomes.

I have been working with this real estate agency since 2016, and over the years, I have consistently found them to be highly professional and efficient. After nearly 9 years with the team, I can confidently say that they are transparent and reliable—what you see is truly what you get.
Lu has been exceptionally accessible, always responding to my requests on the same day…
In one instance, the team successfully recovered rent from a challenging tenant… Lu took care of everything, submitting the claim and ensuring I received the payout promptly…
I’ve always been kept informed with timely updates, and I never had to chase after the team…
I highly recommend Real Estate HQ for any investors who are looking for a professional, responsive, and trustworthy team.
(Landlord – 8+ years)
Lu and her team at real estate hq have managed our investment property from the outset… from the build to arranging our first tenants as we reside in NSW.
Our first tenants rented for nearly 8 years with no issues… all tenants have been good we really have had no problems.
We made the decision reluctantly to sell again Lu arranged everything for us… handled in a very professional manner at our agreed price.
Lu treated us like family we cannot recommend real estate hq enough.
(Landlord / Investor)
Lu called me following a general enquiry regarding property entry reports, and freely provided me with nearly 40 minutes of significant guidance…
Her enthusiastic advice demonstrated a fair and balanced truth-oriented approach to both Landlords and Tenants…
It is clear that she had huge skills and experience in property management and her no-nonsense approach would broker the right outcome for the parties…
Based on this interaction, I would say that everything Lu has described in her profile would be accurate.
General Enquiry
I have owned investment properties for more than 20 years… They took over some really poorly managed properties and turned them into great investments.
Their application of the law really ticks some people off but as an investor I want to know where I stand rather than have the truth sugar coated…
To anyone considering using their services… I suggest you call Lu… I am sure you will be glad you did.
