25.01.2022 At HomeGround Real Estate we are highly aware Melburnians need extra support at this challenging time, and as a premium property management service all our profits are invested back into the community. For our landlord Emma, this was an important factor. She wanted to know that her fees would deliver a professional service and that the agent she hired would genuinely care for her tenants.

Having experienced homelessness first hand, Siala is very aware of the stigma and misconceptions that surround the experience.

21.01.2022 Our amazing Property Manager, Jaclyn married Chris on the weekend. It was not without its dramas given the COVID restrictions and the constant planning and re-planning over the past few months, but they finally tied the knot. We are super thrilled for them and wish them all the happiness for the future!

21.01.2022 COVID-19 has meant embracing new technology. Our rental inspections have moved online allowing us to operate as usual during lockdown. And the best thing about them? Bonding over pets. Watch our Property Manager Nina meeting Rosie the cat for the first time.

17.01.2022 These last few months have been rough but have also shone a light on all the good in our community. From Spoonvilles on nature strips to teddy bears in windows, Melburnians have come out to support one another in every way they can. As a social enterprise we're surrounded with wonderful people, so we've decided to shine a spotlight on them with our Acts of Kindness series. Melbourne Wide Electrical have been our go to electricians for some time. They've been in the business... for 20 years and have decided to start making regular donations to Launch Housing to support the work that we're doing. Thank you to Matt, Sam and the team at Melbourne Wide Electrical for the ongoing support, and for being a light (pun intended) during some difficult times! photos taken pre-lockdown #melbournelockdown #actsofkindness #communitysupport

16.01.2022 We've loved the chaos of zoom meetings these last few months - from meeting your furry friends to children crashing the calls, it's been a wild time. But we're so looking forward to seeing you face to face...or at least half your face. As of today, a maximum of 10 people from two households excluding the real estate agent can attend real estate inspections. From November 8th, 10 people from any number of households can inspect properties. These inspections will be a litt...le different from what we're used to. There will be COVID safe practices in place and we won't have a board out so make sure you contact us to register beforehand. We can't wait to see you soon! Read more: https://bit.ly/2JaZoYI

16.01.2022 This week we're focussing on the little things to be thankful for. The Block being back, the sun coming out later in the week, and virtual dance parties (thanks Arts Centre Melbourne ). For Manager Simone, lockdown combined with a Masterchef addiction has led to her spending a lot more time in the kitchen. What are you thankful for this week?

15.01.2022 Wrapping up the week with six properties leased, including this one from Collins Street in the CBD! Now time to get some sun and celebrate over the weekend. If you're looking for a property ... https://bit.ly/39WTUw1 #ethicalrealestate #homegroundrealestate

13.01.2022 From time to time people need an extra pair of helping hands, and through #MelbourneLockdown we are seeing this more than ever. As a Real Estate agency, the restrictions have impacted how we work with our landlords and tenantsnot surprisingly we found it also means that our real estate agents can spark hope through #actsofkindness. #KindnessAlert... Recently, one of our more vulnerable tenants John* was showing signs that he needed a helping hand. John was confused about the restrictions and didn’t know what shops were opened. He didn’t have the confidence to go to the supermarket and because of this he wasn't leaving the house or getting food. That’s when our quick thinking Property Manager Nina, flew into action and contacted an organisation, who within the hour, were able to deliver a much needed food hamper to his door. This will be an ongoing arrangement and it means John has one less thing to think about during these difficult times. Our real estate agents look after more than just bricks and mortar, its hearts and minds too. *name changed to protect tenant privacy

09.01.2022 We love hearing from our clients. Here's a Google Review from Buyers Advocate, Melinda. "Having been in real estate for now 30 years, I have worked with a lot of agents and quality agents and property managers are incredibly hard to find. Simone from Home Ground is exceptional. I refer all my investor clients to her because I know she will always give great service and that their property will be looked after like it is her own. Simone has extensive experience and has a reall...y good team around her as well. They all care more than other property managers and go that extra mile to ensure everything is absolutely spot on. I also love that they are not-for-profit and give back to the community so much. This is a true agency with heart and genuine community spirit."
