Jodie Stainton

With a career spanning 22 years, I am privileged to lead Harcourts Solutions property management division; an award winning, privately-owned company with 3 locations across Brisbane and a growing portfolio of over 2200 properties.

My role is to ensure Harcourts Solutions is the chosen workplace for the best property management professionals in Australia. I know that happy, challenged, trained and supported property managers provide outstanding property management services to our owners and tenants and their broader communities.

What I’ve learned over the past 22 years is that just like there are differences between the best and worst doctors, there are differences between the best and worst property managers. Our property managers remain at the forefront through personalised training and great technology to make their lives easier so they have time to concentrate on their clients’ investing outcomes.

Previously, I have held state and national roles within Harcourts & Ray White, a national role within a successful prop tech company and I pioneered a national property management franchise. I’m passionate about customer service and the future viability of the industry and have regularly shared knowledge, speaking at major events across Australia and New Zealand. I’ve twice been awarded in the Top 50 Real Estate Influencer’s List by Elite Agent.

I love finding new ways to deal with old problems. I keep abreast of tech and customer service innovation across industries around the world which allows me to innovate within our industry and business. I’m all about relationships, continual learning, growth, helping women achieve success and property management. It’s a great day when all those things come together.
