We were very impressed that when Tami Stolarski joined InStyle, she made an appointment to meet with us and understand us as clients. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Tami.When our property required a new tenant, Tami, I am sure, enabled us to find excellent tenants. Tami helped us prepare the property to its optimum potential. We met at the property before advertising to ensure that any maintenance items were addressed before going to market. Tami ensured that the property was professionally presented in the market place and was thorough in her review and recommendation of potential tenants.

I can’t speak highly enough of her!If you want the best in the business then look no further.Lena knows her properties back to front, she treats them like her own, and she is committed to her work.She is an expert at:- Finding excellent tenants.- Managing tenant problems.- Managing maintenance costs. Maintenance costs are always one of my biggest concerns, but Lena only recommends work that will optimize cash flow.I will 100% use her again if I buy another residential property in Adelaide.Thanks so much for your assistance, Lena!

I had a terrible experience renting through InStyle. Particularly due to the property manager, Lena. I moved into a property that was in an atrocious state. The property had rubbish throughout and left in a dirty condition, especially the kitchen (oven), air vents and bathrooms. There was no solution put in place to rectify my health concerns. I was left with no option other than to clean the property I just moved into out of my own time and costs. When I vacated the property Lena tried to take money from my bond without adequate reasoning, despite the property being left in a much better state than it was when I first occupied. It’s appalling that some agents try to take financial advantage of tenants, especially in the current crisis we’re in. Further to this, I was told by other agents that Lena had lied on reference checks. Making it difficult to find a new property. Despite Lena telling me herself that I was “an amazing tenant”. If you want a fair chance, with an easily contacted agent, and your bond back without issues do not rent through InStyle.

Lena from InStyle property Adelaide is by far the most efficient, friendly and service focused property manager I've had, bar none.We recently had no hot water on one of Adelaide's coldest days in years. It was responded to and resolved within a day!I highly recommend Lena and the team at Instyle property to both investors looking of a property manager and prospective tenants.

Absolutely fantastic experience having In-Style as our property manager in the rental we stayed in. Lena was very easy to get in contact with and was always very helpful.

I rented through InStyle for over a year and a half and dealt with Joseph. He was very helpful in assisting me with issues with needing to find a property in a new area (I needed more time to find a suitable place in a crazy and challenging rental market). He gave extra time at the end of my lease, and as a result I was able to find somewhere without having to sign another long term lease. He was also very easy going and understanding. Thank you

Terrible experience with the property manager Lena. She has provided misleading feedback on our rental profile and that caused us lots of stress to find a rental property in this tough market. Don’t trust these guys if you are a tenant. We’ve been renting a house for four years with no issue at all but got kicked out when Lena took over. Always double check with the agents you are renting from to make sure all the questions answered truthfully because this lady won’t be answering any questions at all. Very frustrating…

Lena Skelton and the whole team at InStyle have been so helpful. Constantly providing updates on the status of the property and managing all of the maintenance and various requests from tenants. Thank you Team InStyle.

Oh Well

I've been renting a property with Instyle for 2 years now and will be leaving the property in the new year to be closer to a new work opportunity. I'd just like to thank Joe for being the best agent I've had in my years of renting and all the assistance and genuine care he's shown me. He's been super easy to communicate with and super diligent in resolving issues. One of the most understanding agents out there and has shown a great deal of humanity regarding handling maintenance requests.I'm gonna be sad leaving Instyle! Thank you for such a pleasant experience and wishing you all a merry Christmas and happy new year.-Mikaela

If You want the best property manager call Sarah and Instyle*** 2-YEAR REVIEW **Our property manager, Lena has been looking after us for the last 2 years. The quality of the service has only been enhanced. A wonderful,understanding and caring person who shows empathy for her tenants. I have found her to be professional and reachable at all times and have recomended IN Style to my friends.

We had the pleasure of the wonderful Lena Skelton as our property manager and we could not rate her highly enough! We had a very unique situation being the previous owners before becoming tenants and Lena accommodated everything. If you are in the market for a thorough but very personable property manager, reach out to Lena.

Many have asked why I chose InStyle, and it's because of the great Google Reviews but mainly they are a Property Management only firm. Meaning, they don't sell properties and do this as a side revenue to their business.In moving interstate, I was really intent on having our family home taken care of by professionals whilst leasing it out. I always stated from the outset that we plan to return. In my consultation with the InStyle Property Manager, I was assured this is the reason they are in business i.e. looking after properties.We have since found out that our InStyle Property Manager, who covered North East Adelaide and a Co-Director, was inexperienced and lacked professionalism. We didn't receive our first 2 rental inspection reports, and when we called his response was "InStyle only provides it if there are adverse findings". I thought it was odd, but trusted the InStyle reputation.Then, we had multiple complaints from the gardener that the tenancy was not being properly managed and there was a dog on site - unbeknownst to me. This is when I called the property manager to discuss, and seek remediation. After multiple calls and messages to remind him to contact the gardener (whom at this stage raised their heightened concerns of our property condition), his ultimate response was "what would you like me to do and say to the tenants?" I was annoyed, but also realised I was locked into a term contract.I thought it may have been a isolated issue or the gardener may have gotten it wrong so I raised it with the InStyle Head Office. Outlining all of my concerns, and experience with our InStyle Property Manager. They were "taken back" by my feedback, but I could also gauge that this was something they were aware of in the background. To alleviate my concerns, as I told them I was going to leave, they miraculously presented me with my second inspection report and Cc'd me in all communication with the property manager.Eventually, after a year a bit of being with InStyle, I had enough. I called the office, relayed all my concerns once again and advised them I am ready to leave and have many strong referrals for alternate managers. However, I didn't believe in posting bad feedback on small businesses so wanted a right of reply. I was PROMISED earnestly to have my interim Property Manager, which was news to me, to call the following Monday. It was a Thursday.A week goes by, and I go to cancel my contract with InStyle as a promise was broken, after a period of frustrating service. Only to be sent an email that "WE HAVE SOLD" to a real estate company.Yes, they were in the process of selling the business when they promised to call me back, and understood I wanted to leave... I found out later via a very terse phone call they only sold the NORTH EAST RENTAL ROLL... clearly there were red flags in the company but they didn't care to look after the clients. Again, if I wanted a real estate company, I would have gone to one of the many I am presently associated with - my mistake.To make matters worse, the incoming real estate company tried to release our contract - because who wants to take on a disgruntled customer with solid grounds for their complaints? Only to be told that InStyle has sold our contract onto them with the Clause that we have pay the early termination fee.I suspect, as my husband is in business negotiations, that the incoming Real Estate Company would have asked InStyle to refund our contract amount so we could be released at no cost - it's the ethical business practice. However, I also suspect, given my experience with InStyle, they did not concern themselves with the issue.Hence, I am now riding out my contract whilst canvassing alternate Property Managers in Adelaide - even real estate ones.Take my review how you may, but I promise you I started out as a collaborative client who gave the benefit of the doubt. What this experience has taught me is being kind to small business just leaves you burnt and all the poorer for it, in every sense.

Highly recommend - you will not find any better property manager. We have had the best experience with Joseph White since 2020. Professional, knowledgeable, super reliable and very trustworthy. Thank you so much Joe for your expertise the past few years. We appreciate having you manage our property these past few years, especially since we are interstate.

0 stars. We leased a brand new house that was falling apart from the second we moved in, had no A/C for 4 weeks during a heat wave last summer, the house was broken in to and a window was smashed wide open, it took 2 weeks for them to get a glazier to repair it (with multiple calls from me to follow it up, no proactive efforts from them at all, which led to mozzies & bugs in the house for weeks after, received inspection notices 4 days before wanting to inspect, staff would regularly drive by the house and we’d receive texts asking to mow the lawns at any given time. When we vacated the house we delivered all the keys to the office and then were asked for weeks to return them due to lack of internal communication, despite our notice of doing so to the property manager & it took 4 months & 10+ calls to CBS and SACAT to receive our bond after moving out due to their incompetency and lack of efforts to resolve the situation. Do not lease a property from these plebs.
