Performance guaranteed. Since 1908.
Experienced property managers who bring more to the table.
At its core, what we do is straightforward: we manage apartments for owners across inner Melbourne. We find tenants, we look after properties, we handle the day-to-day so you don't have to. That's the job, and we take it seriously.
But what makes Wood Property different is the depth of expertise behind the service. Our leadership team has managed investment portfolios worth billions of dollars. We've advised property owners through every market cycle Melbourne has seen in the past century. And we bring all of that knowledge, the data-driven decision making, the portfolio-level thinking, the market intelligence, to the way we manage your apartment.
The result is property management that's more considered, more strategic, and more accountable than what most owners are used to. We price with precision, not guesswork. We plan maintenance proactively, not reactively. We select tenants rigorously. And we report back to you with the transparency you'd expect from a team managing serious money, because that's exactly what we're doing.
Andrew Wood spent years as Managing Director of Jones Lang LaSalle in Melbourne, overseeing commercial property transactions measured in the billions. It gave him a particular way of thinking about property: disciplined, data-led, and focused on long-term outcomes—not just the next lease.
That experience now shapes how Wood Property advises owners and manages apartments across inner Melbourne. The same rigour applied to institutional portfolios is applied to single apartments: clear strategy, transparent reporting, and decisions that stand up to scrutiny.
Andrew works closely with our leadership team to ensure every owner benefits from institutional-grade insight, delivered with the accessibility and accountability of a specialist apartment manager.
Property management is a hands-on business. But doing it well requires real expertise: in markets, in data, in understanding what drives long-term value. That’s what our team brings, and it’s what I expect from every decision we make on behalf of our owners.Book a call
History
Henry Wood opened his first real estate office in Melbourne's Rialto Building in the early 1900s. Since then, four generations of the Wood family have advised property owners through two world wars, the Great Depression, recessions, booms, and everything in between.
That track record matters. Not because of tradition for its own sake, but because it represents over a century of accumulated knowledge about Melbourne's property markets. What drives value. What creates risk. How to read a market shift early and position our owners to benefit from it. That institutional memory, combined with the commercial-grade systems we use today, is something no other apartment manager in inner Melbourne can match.
Not happy in the first six months? We refund your management fees. It's that simple, and no other specialist inner Melbourne apartment manager offers it.
Our directors have transacted $4.26 billion in investment property. That portfolio-level experience informs every decision we make about your apartment.
Apartments across inner Melbourne are all we manage. We know these markets right down to the street: the trends, the tenant profiles, the pricing dynamics.
You deal with experienced people who know your property and have the authority to act. Andrew Wood is personally accessible to every owner.
We use real market data to price your apartment, time your lease, and benchmark your performance. Not gut feel. Not what worked last year.
Regular insights on rental trends, legislation changes, and market movements that affect your investment, so you're always making informed decisions.
We don't wait for things to break. Planned, budgeted maintenance that protects your asset value and avoids costly surprises.
Management, investment advice, portfolio strategy, sales. We're with you end to end, not just while you're paying rent.
Four generations advising Melbourne property owners since 1908. 200+ five-star reviews. The kind of stability and accountability that only comes with time.

I grew up in a real estate family. It was the business that provided everything we had and it was all we talked about. Each day brought new real estate related tales and adventures shared around the family dinner table. I never met my great grandfather, Henry Ashton (Harry) Wood. He died well before I was born. That’s him on the left of the photo. This shot was taken in 1918 and my grandfather Henry Raymond (Ray) Wood, a strapping 19 year old (and excellent ‘tap’ ruckman from all reports) is on the far right. The real estate office was fairly basic with dirt floors and hessian walls.
Harry Wood didn’t struggle for long and set up an office in Collins Street Melbourne in the 1920’s in the old Rialto Building. You will see their office in the bottom right of the photo below. To this day that photo is etched in a plaque on the building which is now the entrance to the Inter Continental Hotel.
By the 1930’s the great depression would hit, and young Ray’s business baptism would begin. My Dad, Henry William (Bill) Wood, who joined the business in the early 1950s, says his father was an exceptional businessman who steered the company through many tough economic times.
Bill is a gifted marketer, auctioneer and negotiator and there was always a deal in the wind or an interesting property challenge he would share with us. He continued to grow the business during his 40 years at the helm and co-founded First National Network of Real Estate Agents which now has over 400 agents across Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific.
I’m the 4th born of 5 boys and 4 of us work in real estate. In 2008, the family business of Wood & Co celebrated 100 years in business.
