Welcome
Real Estate HQ (and those who know us as Property Management HQ) is an independently owned boutique real estate agency specialising in premium property management.
Located centrally in Indooroopilly Brisbane we provide a broad range of professional real estate services for all types of property investors located locally, interstate and overseas.
Founded more than 10 years ago and run by our hands on Principal Lu Bracher (read more about Lu here) we build long term relationships with like minded Clients who have learnt to trust us with the everyday management of their rental properties - meaning they can get on with their lives and we can get on with delivering better returns from their investment.
We can assist you through every step of the investment property journey, from pre purchase property assessments, to finding the hidden value and increasing the property yield, to managing the tenancy and selling the property.
We have a deep understanding of the rental property ‘game’-garnered through nearly 2 decades of real life ‘coalface’ experience. We know what works and what is a waste of money and we can advise you so you can avoid many of the pitfalls of rental property ownership.
As a Client we become one of your trusted advisors, part of your property investment team-someone you can actually rely on to tell you as it is. We’re a genuine, down-to-earth dedicated team who truly care about you and your property.
Our approach is direct, honest and frank which doesn’t suit everyone but our dedicated and long standing Owners wouldn’t want it any other way.

Why choose us to manage your rental property
Who you choose to manage your rental property can (and will) make a huge difference to the overall return you will receive from your investment. The management of residential properties has become a more specialised undertaking in the last decade as the laws become more onerous and the obligations of landlords more burdensome.
Points to consider:
- How much experience does the property management department have? Consider the reality that staff turnover in the industry is very high and most property managers have less than 12 months industry experience
- Is there an Owner/Director/Principal of the agency knowledgeable in the property management ‘space’ or are they ‘Sales' focused?
- Will you really know what's happening with/at your property?
- Can the agency provide value add services and advice?
- Can the agency represent your interests professionally during disputes and/or at QCAT?
- Can they deal with high end (yet increasingly more common) issues like drug labs, domestic violence cases, objectionable tenants, natural disasters and complex insurance claims?
Our goal is to provide professional, dependable, trustworthy and cost-effective real estate services.
Our process driven cloud based operational platform enables our 'mobile' team to be more proactive and responsive.Your requests and queries are dealt with in a timely manner whether we are in the office or out on the road.With almost no hierarchical office structure our small collaborative team can quickly respond to any issue at any property rather than the industry norm of a dedicated property manager who may not get to the problem for days (if at all).
We offer a full suite of property services including property management and sales, pre-purchase rental property assessments, renovation advice, dispute resolution, disaster management and compliance. Read more here.
We are all about finding solutions-not evading problems. You can be sure your property is in good hands.

Who is Real Estate HQ?

Founded (more than 10 years ago) and run by our hands on principal Lu Bracher (read more about Lu here) we build long term relationships with like minded property investors.
We are not in the business of simply adding ‘doors’ or wooing you with a discounted fee but rather keeping our service and solutions relevant to you and your property and thereby helping you to achieve your investment property goals.
Our advice is direct, honest and frank which doesn’t suit everyone but our dedicated and long standing Owners wouldn’t want it any other way.
We deliver consistency and reliability but are also constantly evolving and trying new things which does ruffle a few feathers at times!
But as Aristotle once said:
“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothing”
How we manage your investment property
Many Landlords believe that ‘Property Management’ is pretty much the same service no matter which Agency they chose.
In other words it’s just a generic everyday service right?
Wrong!
Reality is much like an insurance policy you are really only going to know how good your policy/property manager is when things go wrong.
Your low cost policy doesn’t look like such a bargain when it comes time to make a claim.
And just like insurance when things go wrong at your investment property (and they most likely will at some stage) how will your property manager respond?
Only years of real life experience and accumulated knowledge will determine a satisfactory outcome.
