PMC Property Management

What PMC Property Management does

PMC Property Management is a privately held Australian boutique residential property management firm founded in 2014 by James Freudigmann and Will Hosking, headquartered in Milton (Brisbane) with regional offices in Newcastle and Manly (Sydney/Northern Beaches). The company provides full-service property management for property investors and landlords, covering tenant screening, lease preparation, rent collection, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, and financial reporting, with management fees typically ranging from 5-10% of weekly rent in Queensland and 5-8% on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

The company operates a platform-plus-adjacent-services model: the core property management business is the primary revenue driver, while four adjacent lines — PMC Property Buyers (independent buyers advocacy), Project Management (renovations and subdivisions), Desktop Property Reviews (valuer-led assessments), and Qualified Property Investment Advisory — cross-sell to the same landlord/investor client base. Technology is sourced from third-party SaaS providers rather than built in-house: PMC uses 2Apply for Queensland tenant applications, Bricks+Agent for Queensland maintenance reporting, Ignite (integrated with realestate.com.au) for NSW applications, and HelloSign/Zoho Sign for electronic signatures on management agreements. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

PMC's go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, with a single point of contact model assigning each landlord a dedicated property manager. The company employs 25+ staff across three offices, including two state-level Heads of Property Management. In August 2026, Newton Property Management, a Scottish firm, completed its largest-ever acquisition by taking full ownership of PMC, adding over 10,000 managed properties to Newton's portfolio (bringing the combined group to approximately 50,000 properties and ~£9.5m in annual group revenue). PMC had reached 4.9 stars across 505 Google reviews and an average 11.6 years of industry experience across its property management team pre-acquisition.
