Kind, responsive and professional We dealt mainly with Sophie Peters at YPA when we were long term tenants for about 12 years. She never failed to be helpful with any queries we had and we trusted her judgement when we were looking for a new tenancy. I appreciated her kindness after a car accident when she sent flowers, something I did not expect from an agent. She carried out inspections in a professional manner and was always warm and friendly. I will not hesitate to recommend her services to contacts we know on the Peninsula.

I have worked with Sophie of YPA Dromana for 3 years now and have had a very positive experience in the way she and the YPA business service rental properties. A number of key points include: Excellent yearly inspection report including pictures and detailed descriptions of any maintenance works required. Prompt management of building repair requirements. Excellent communication relative to lease agreements, payments and any issues etc. Sophie in particular knows her trade very well and is able to support both tenants and owners to run agreements smoothly. Thank you Sophie and the whole YPA team :)

Excellent service, great prompt communication, professional, well researched and easy to deal with. I have been renting a house from YPA for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with their service. Sophie has been particularly exceptional, she got us into the house promptly, no hassles, any concerns throughout the year were attended to right away. I have two young children so things do happen ie. the security button was pressed by my child multiple times and we even locked ourselves out. Sophie and the whole team helped me out each time within minutes. They always made me feel at ease, looked after and they do it in such a friendly manner that you laugh through each situation. However it wasn't until my parents wanted information on their investment property that I realised how exceptional YPA is. Sophie was on the case right away. After just a day, I received an in-depth report for all I needed to know. The information was on point, current and guiding. Just driving around the Mornington Peninsula you can see the YPA presence, the big bright yellow boards definitely stand out. I have been impressed by the professionalism of YPA on all fronts and I would highly recommend them.

Responsive, respectful and great communicators Absolute gold star for customer service, responsiveness and communication. Our property manager Sophie responded quickly and efficiently to any issues and was able to address any concerns easily due to broad range of experience and personal skills. Thanks for being respectful of us “renters” while advocating for your rental provider and so clear and easy for us to deal with. Cheers

Leasing our house through YPA It has been a pleasure working with Sophie this year as we converted our house from short term to a long-term lease. She has been extremely professional, answering my queries promptly and in a friendly manner and we have developed a very easy-going cooperative relationship. In addition, we are extremely happy with our tenant. I would be very happy to recommend YPA to others.

Pat

Great at what they do Sophie has been managing our rental in Safety Beach for a few years now and she has always been pre-active in keeping me up to date with the industry changes and also when our property needs some TLC. With the recent floods Sophie was in contact with me regularly as our street had a bit of water and we were at risk of flooding. In the end we were ok but it was re-assuring knowing Sophie was all over it for us.

Aaron

Perfect example of professionalism When we were told by our previous agent to vacate property in certain time it was hard to get house then Ypa come to the rescue. Sophie the agent was very good with the process and got this house in few days. Always highly recommend Ypa dromana.

Gurinder

Professional, efficient Sophie is very professional property manager, she looks after both landlord and tenant benefits, responses quickly. I feel very lucky to have her as my property manager!

Ivy

Good listener Sophie Peters is very knowledgeable and is honest with her approach. I had great concerns to rent my property again after having some bad experiences. I love my little place, something that government agencies do not seem to understand, in particular with all the new legislation! Sophie takes the time to do her due diligence, which has put my mind at ease. Thank you so much Sophie!

Mary Edmunds

Great communication and market knowledge! Sophie guided us throughout the rental process and we were impressed with her knowledge of the market. Sophie was very easy to communicate with and always happy to answer our silly questions. Our house was rented within 1 week of going online! Would recommend

Excellent Service As a tenant, Sophie has been excellent to us. A great communicator through the entire process, clear & prompt paperwork. Trades & inspections were coordinated with ease. There were a number of times that she went above and beyond to assist in making us feel right at home in a new area & we are grateful for that. We would definitely recommend Sophie.

Samantha Quilligan

Fantastic friendly property manager Sophie is by far the best property manager I have ever had. She really looks after her landlords and the tenants. Proactive with any maintenance on property and acts fast when the tenant raises any issues so they are fixed fast. Keep up the good work Sophie.

Leeanne Vernino

Best Leasing Agent I have had the pleasure of meeting. Sophie was the most professional, lovely and welcoming Leasing Agent we have ever dealt with. It was the first time we felt well cared for and welcomed to the neighbourhood. We would recommend friends and family to use YPA in Dromana for their rentals. We could not fault the experience throughout the entire two years of leasing a YPA managed property.

Donna D'Paul

I had my first experience with YPA as I was looking for a rental in the area. Being new to the rental market, I was unaware of the process. Sophie Peters was the agent I dealt with and she was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. She kept me up to date with developments and was a great assistance in guiding me through the process. I would happily recommend Sophie and the team at YPA Dromana.

Alan Coffey

I have no hesitation in recommending Sophie.
