There is some exciting news at Di Jones this week, especially if you own property in Melbourne or are looking to holiday. In a great move for the company, our short term rental division is expanding into Melbourne.


Tracey McCardle and Susannah Anderson will be in Melbourne on Monday 21st June all day meeting with new landlords who wish for Di Jones Real Estate to lease out their fabulous properties for periods of 5 days to 12 weeks. This is ideal for people who wish to use their own property throughout the year whilst making money when it would otherwise be vacant. It also enables owners to charge a higher nightly rate than on a 6 or 12 month rental basis.

If you, or if you have family or friends in Melbourne who would be interested in leasing out their property on a short term basis, please let them know to contact us, or alternatively please pass on their details to Tracey McArdle who is contactable at traceym@dijones.com.au or on (02) 8356 7824.
