About Encore
As property professionals, we created Encore in 2004 following our own experience of receiving poor management and the difficulty of finding a managing agent with the right aptitude and attitude. We chose the name Encore because it symbolises a great performance - which is what we strive to deliver. From the beginning we've adopted the philosophy of ‘taking care of your property as though we live there'.
Residential management is a people business. Professional, experienced and friendly, our people make the difference. Our people bring our values to life every day and help make places better. Quite simply, we have the right people, expertise, systems, scale and culture to be the perfect next home for you.
