Cut vacancy time from 6 weeks to 9 days on a Toowong apartment.

The situation
Two-bedroom apartment in Toowong sitting vacant for six weeks. The previous agent had marketed it twice with the same stale photos and was suggesting another price cut.
What we did
We took over and did the basics differently: professional photography, suburb-comparison pricing, listing copy that actually described the property's strengths, and proactive outreach to our applicant database.
Within five days we had four shortlisted applications. We held a single open home and shortlisted two tenants for landlord review.
The outcome
Lease signed nine days after we took over the listing, at the original asking price, not a cut. The owner recovered $4,400 in rent that would otherwise have been lost to extended vacancy.
⚠️ Draft case study: placeholder content for the preview. Real client data to be supplied before handover.
“We'd accepted that finding a tenant was going to take months. Toohey had ours signed in under two weeks.”
