Managing property as though we live there
Our mission is to make places better and deliver a brilliant residential property management experience. As property professionals, we created Encore in 2004 following our own experience of receiving poor management and the difficulty of finding a managing agent with the right aptitude and attitude. We chose the name Encore because it symbolises a great performance - which is what we strive to deliver. From the beginning we've adopted the philosophy of ‘taking care of your property as though we live there'.
Professional service through a proactive approach
Our approach is based on the following principles:
- Quality people with time to manage
- Operational structure and rigour
- Well-honed systems that work
- Maintenance and compliance under control
- Financial control
- Professionalism and pride
We work WITH you.
