Gerrard Condon and the team at Dwyer Property Investments were outstanding to deal with throughout the whole construction process and all the way through to lock up of our property in Harmony Estate. They now manage the property for us seamlessly. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

With the continued growth of SE Qld and the Sunshine Coast you will be very pleased with the growth this property will achieve. The next one should only be a year or two away. Many thanks.

DQH customer service was of the highest standard from all staff that I dealt with and DQH delivered everything they promised. I'm extremely happy with how easy the process was and the final product is just perfect.

I posted the above review a couple of years ago and am just in the final stages of completing the build of a second investment property through Dwyer Quality Homes/Dwyer Property Investments. I also utilise the property management component of their business and cannot be happier with price, quality and customer service. A great Aussie company to work with!

Response from the owner 05:27 09 Dec 20

What an incredible Journey it has been with Jason from Dwyer property Investments. An absolute pleasure dealing with Jason & DQH. Jason helped us secure our first investment property outside of NSW in Caboolture QLD & it has been a flawless process from start to finish. Very professional people who know what they’re doing in every aspect of home building. Customer satisfaction is their utmost priority and man they succeed in that aspect hands down. I’ve built earlier as well however the journey has been one to remember and cherish. Once again a Big thank you to Jason Dwyer & team DQH to successfully build our house and a handover. Kudos!!

I would absolutely recommend Dwyer Property Investments. With the guidance we were given by Jason, my wife and I were able to structure our finances to be able to buy 2 investment properties! This has really set us up for a great financial future. Thanks Jason!

We settled in March, so we are 6 months in. Everything that was said is 100% true. Rent paid on time. If Dwyer’s said they’d do it, they did. I’m the type that always waits for what’s the catch. No catch, Dwyer’s are genuine, and honest. Thank You Jason.

Response from the owner 05:26 09 Dec 20

Thanks Wayne and appreciate your kind words. Reviews like this make a big difference to a business like mine that succeeds on word of mouth and good reviews. Cheers Jason
