Our Directors - siblings Michael and Kristalla Stavrianos - grew up in the industry. Their family had owned and operated real estate businesses for over 40 years, and their interest was sparked at a very early age, thanks to nightly stories at the dinner table. School holidays were often spent helping in the office.
Michael was born into a family that owned and operated real estate businesses for over 40 years. Michael was exposed to the real estate world from an early age and became very interested and inquisitive after hearing his parents' stories every night. He often spent his school holidays helping his parents at the office, which helped instil the importance of hard work and understanding the property market.
Video Testimonial from Anna, who was with a larger property management company 5 years ago with property managers that were constantly changing and the final decision to move away was the unsuitable tenants they selected. I have been renting a property and dealt with Local Agency Co. for over 2 years.

The worst experience with property managers we have had. So hard to get a response or even a flicker of interest from them when anything was going wrong in our rental and when we did get a response they were extremely rude and unprofessional. Would avoid at all costs from renting through this agency again.
**update - the property managers have responded below - not all repairs were strata related and the strata group and building manager were far more responsive than Local Agency ever was - so much so that we spoke directly to them. Also we weren't in the apartment for 3 years - we were there

Local Agency Co had done an exceptional job in managing my property for the past 5 years. When it came time to sell the property it was an easy choice to work with Michael Stavrianos.
Michael is knowledgable, responsive, professional, and honest. He made sure to keep me informed through the entire process, was always contactable, and was very patient in answering all of my questions. I trusted in his advice and he didn’t let me down. He worked tirelessly to get me a great price for my property. I walked away very satisfied.

We chose Michael Stavrianos in particular as we had an excellent previous experience with this agent. We have always found him to be honest, straightforward and extremely trustworthy.
Michael knows his stuff and certainly knows the market and area very well.
We were kept informed and involved every step of the way and were thrilled with the outcome. We would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

My partner and I were looking for a property to rent when we found a place with Local Agency Co. From the initial application stage to approval, through to the other steps in what should be a stressful process, Michael and Bonnie have been most wonderful to deal with. They are both quick and responsive to any issues that we came across and kept us informed of every stage of the process. When you meet Michael in person, he is very patient and professional that he sets your mind at ease. I would highly recommend Local Agency Co as real estate professionals.

I met Michael for the first time more than 6 years ago when we were considering renovating our home. He was honest, professional and knowledgeable. Although there was no upside for him in this engagement we kept in touch over the years following where he would share invaluable market intel and advice with me - again, on no contingency basis. I found him to be a rarity in the real estate profession - honest, informed and interested in building long term relationships as opposed to the transactional ‘churn and burn’ approach many of his peers adopt. Ultimately we chose Michael to represent us

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I have been renting a property and dealt with Local Agency Co. for over 2 years. My experience was positive. From the beginning of the tendency to the end, they are responsive, supportive, and professional. If I still stay in the Eastern Suburbs, I would only rent the property through them.

We recently bought a unit through Michael from Local Agency Co - he was extremely professional, efficient and helpful throughout all aspects of our inspection, purchase and settlement processes. We also really appreciated his attention to detail and organisation. Thanks very much Michael for ensuring everything went smoothly for us- we absolutely love our new home! Highly recommend Michael and Local Agency Co!

A fabulous agency to work with. We used Michelle for our rental and had no issues compared to other rental agents we used in the past. We then used Michale to sell our property during covid. He was great - honest, upfront and responsive. I felt he went out of his way to engage with purchasers and supported us throughout the whole process. I was selling from overseas so good communication was essential and he was more than effective. Would highly recommend. Thanks team.

I met Michael over 10 years ago when buying a property and we kept in touch over that time. In fact Michael would keep me up to date with what was happening in the market, pricing etc. Recently we sold a property with Michael, during what was a challenging market - however his strategy, approach and experience enabled us to achieve our dream of moving to the Country. The whole process was seamless, in what can be an emotional time. Michael is great to deal with and was always looking for ways to adjust our approach if things weren't going as planned. I can only highly recommend Michael and his
