James Says Do Not Miss…….
The sense of community. Whilst East Melbourne as a whole has a great quiet and neighbourly feel, Wellington Gardens is a cut above the rest. You would be forgiven in thinking you have returned to a leafy outer suburb when you arrive home.
.

What our Landlords say…….
“Harcourts City Residential were terrific. I had a vacant Melbourne City apartment in a prime location for three months with my previous Melbourne city agent. I then spoke to Dionne Wilson from Harcourts City Residential. As soon as speaking to Dionne, I knew her professionalism and helpfulness would ensure my apartment would be tenanted very soon. Not only did Dionne find me tenants within 10 days, Dionne was able to market my apartment at the market price (which was my asking price) and not a much lower price that my previous agent had my apartment advertised at .Thank you Dionne and Harcourts City Residential my stress is finally over.”.
Antonio – Landlord
