Jason and the his Orbit Property team were very helpful, responsive and supportive from the get-go up through the handover. I am happy to recommend his service and expertise to friends and families who are looking at buidling their house.
Anita has managed twoo properties, including renting my home while I was overseas for more than 6 years. She has been help[ful, communicative and responsive, and generally made my life a lot easier. Wish I had been with her from the beginning as the previous agency/agent allowed tenants to damage the property.
Anita and Jason have been both great to deal with. They do an excellent job managing our property with timely communication as and when required. If you need a property looked after without the stress of having to worry about it at all, I strongly recommend going to Orbit.
Jason and his team had built our very first home. I am thankful for his input and guidance, it wasn't always easy nor was it a smooth journey. However, Jason and his team delivered our very own home. Because of that I would like to thank Jason and Orbit Property for their time and helping my family and I invest into something that will be here for generations to come. Thank you.Regards, Sila and Elizabeth
We are glad that we chose ORBIT PROPERTY for our first house 🏠 Jason has been so helpful, honest and easy to approach since day one! Thank you so much for helping us throughout the journey. We will definitely recommend Orbit Homes to friends and even for our own future upgrade 🙂Thank you and we wish you well for future!!— Akash & Aarzoo 😊
Thanks a lot to Jason from Orbit Property for being so helpful throughout the journey of our new house, right from land purchase to final handover. This is the first time we had purchased a block of land and built a house. So, we had lots of questions and needed a fair bit of help with the process and Jason was always available to help. No question was small for Jason. He always answered it in a polite and friendly way. He was always happy to provide guidance when required. I had always hesitated from building a house because the whole process appeared so stressful. But, with Jason on our side, it was very smooth, and I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone looking to build their house.
I can recommend Anita at Orbit Property as being a fabulous Property Manager; I have referred her to a few clients, friends & fellow investors looking for an honest, reliable, service focussed & proactive Property Manager who understands what landlords need & expect. As an investor also Anita understands the local market and commuinicates very well with her landlords & tenants. I am very happy with the service from the Team at Orbit Property, their core values echo our own as a boutique business. Boutique is best! Thanks Anita in my books you are #1 in Brisbane!
I highly recommend Orbit Property. Jason was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. He was honest about all expectations and guided us in each and every step. The communication lines were always open which we really appreciated and went above and beyond for us. Massive shoutout to Kris as well for all the help especially post handover. Kudos to you guys!
Getting in touch with Jason, has been the best thing that happened to us. He helped us to turn our dream of having a house to a reality. He patiently listened to our requirements and tailored everything around them. Not only did he help in finding the perfect land he has helped us to design our house along too. True to his commitment , Jason and his team along with GW homes has done an excellent job. Not only did Jason helped us to remain within our budget , but made sure the house was completed within the time frame. When ever we had any doubts or issues, Jason was there to resolve them with ease. We would definitely recommend Jason from Orbit property to anyone who want to build their dream home.

Our first experience with Orbit Properties, and Anita specifically, has been great. Orbit properties recently became the real estate firm for the property we are currently renting and managed to resolve a maintenance issue we had in around a week, which the previous real estate firm could not do in 9 months.Thanks so much Anita!
Jason has been there for us since the beginning of our first home buying journey. He made sure our queries and concerns are addressed on time and that all transactions go smoothly as he wanted our experience to be a positive one. Indeed, it was a milestone in our life that we will never forget. Thank you to you and your team for making it an enjoyable and hassle free experience! They are highly professional and the best in what they do. We cannot thank you enough for assisting us throughout the process. We wish you all the best! 😊
I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Jason and his team in Orbit Property. Jason has been helpful from start to end. There’s no such thing as a silly question and all questions were answered in a timely, professional and friendly manner. The thought of going through the whole process of purchasing our first home was really daunting, but with Jason’s guidance and assistance, everything went smooth. From presenting the plans, to helping complete our First Homeowner Grant application, from contract details to going out of his way to help us find a good broker and from all the update photos of the construction to handover, Jason has always been there for us. My family and I are truly blessed to meet Jason and the Orbit team, we are also blessed to now call him a friend.Orbit’s deposit scheme has helped not just us, but a lot of other families get their finance approved. I would definitely recommend Orbit Property to anyone thinking of purchasing their first property.
I recently had the pleasure of renting my property through Orbit Property. Anita Genrich provided a great service and was very receptive to any issues that I had. I would recommend Orbit Property to anyone entering the rental market.
My family and I rented a house through Orbit Property (previously Emporium Property Management) from December 9, 2011 to February 2, 2017, and were looked after by Anita Genrich. Anita was consistently pleasant and courteous to deal with. There had been a few unforeseen issues with the house during our tenancy period, and Anita responded promptly to emails and arranged for the appropriate tradespeople to attend to the issues. Anita's communication regarding this has always been very clear, professional and efficient, along with advice of regular inspection dates, which we really appreciated. We would be more than happy to rent a property again with Anita if the opportunity arose.
It's been a great experience having Jason and Chris helping us through building our first home. Orbit property was there every step of the way guiding us on the process which seemed really daunting and confusing at first but they made it seem so easy. Now we have a beautiful forever home. Jason and Chris were always available if we had any questions and supplied answers/resolutions very fast. Thanks guys. We are so happy
Massive , massive thanks to Jason from Orbit Property for getting me and my family into our own home. From our first conversation I knew that Jason was highly competent and his intelligence and knowledge of the property market was excellent!! From getting the block , signing contracts and working through the most difficult lending criteria with the banks we achieved almost the impossible! His commitment and never say die attitude is the reason we have our home on one of the better blocks in the area!!! Thank you so much Jason!!
Anita has been fantastic in getting a tenant in our property within days of it going on the market. Not only that she has assisted in resolving unfinished work on the new property whilst keeping us up to date with everything as it happened. So far Anita has been miles ahead of our other agents we utilse and we would have no hesitation in recommending her.
So pleased to have Anita and Orbit Property as my agent. Anita has been so lovely to deal with, easy to speak to about my concerns, and genuinely professional and thorough in her duty of care and experience. I highly recommend her and the company.
We engaged Orbit property after a disappointing experience with a national brand. We were happy right from the start, with comfort that Anita was knowledgeable and cared about customer service. She also shows genuine interest in our tenant which we appreciate. We would highly recommend Orbit property.
From my renting history of last 10 years, I can absolutely say that Anita and her team have been the best property managers I've ever dealt with. They always take care of you as a tenant and have also great and trusty knowledge of experience if you are ever interested buying your first home.

Jason from Orbit Property was nothing but exceptional from day 1. The whole process was so simple. It was our first purchase and everything went so smoothly. Such a painless process. The quality of finishing and inclusions we got was amazing. Did not have to do much except for sign some papers and rest was taken care off. Thank you Orbit Property and Jason specially for making it a memorable experience.
I have had a wonderful experience in my dealings with Orbit Property. We dealt with Shawn and from the very start of the rental process he was incredibly friendly, personable, professional and helpful. We have had a great experience so far with Orbit Property and Shawn and we highly recommend them.
Our rental property was listed with another real estate agent for almost 6 weeks, we received minimal inspections, terrible service and as this was our first experience the situation was even more stressful. We made contact with Shawn who was really helpful with one of the best service catering from our needs and ensuring that this experience was stress free which was definitely how we felt. Within two weeks being listed with Orbit Property the place is now rented with amazing tenants. Thank you for an amazing service and experience it is much appreciated. I would highly recommend this place.
Anita and Jason have been great to deal with. They value you as a client not just as a customer but as someone they would really care about. I would highly recommend Orbit Property.
Thanks Anita for processing Christine and mine application so quickly. You have been so delightful to work with. Would highly recommend you and the team.
Anita and her team have been the best property managers I've ever dealt with. So friendly and always onto it. Thanks Anita for always going above and beyond! Christien
Absolutely Fantastic...We are so delighted to have found Jason and the team at Orbit Property group to assist us with our First Home Build in Spring Mountain. The entire process from sign up until handover was well managed. Nothing was a hassle for them and Jason was always there whenever you needed any assistance/ guidance to help us navigate the complex process of building your home. Thank you Orbit Property for this amazing journey and look forward to working with you guys for our next build. Dhaval & Shweta
Orbit Property make renting easy! Any issues they are straight on it and in a really friendly and professional way. One of the real estate companies out there - flexible and no problems. Thanks Anita and the team for a great rental experience!
As a tenant of Anita's I couldn't fault her in anyway possible. Anita strives not only to satisfy her landlords but goes above and beyond for her tenants. She truly is a delight to deal with. If you're a landlord looking for a property management team that will really take care of your property and its tenant's then I highly recommend giving Anita at orbit a call. If you're a tenant applying/been approved for a property through Orbit, congratulations! Wait until you see the difference in service!
