About Shafiqa

From the inner west, for the inner west.

I'm Shafiqa — a property manager with White House Estate Agents in Auburn, looking after rental homes across Sydney's inner west. I treat every property like it's my own and every tenant like a person, which is exactly why my vacancies are short and my tenants tend to stay.

When you call, you get me — not a call centre — and I reply within a day, most evenings included. Rent on time, repairs handled quickly, honest updates the whole way through: the boring things, done properly.

“A rental is someone's home and someone's investment at the same time. My job is to do right by both.”

The manager behind your rental

A property manager who treats your place like her own.

When you ring, you get me — not a call centre. Here's the honest version of who you're dealing with, and why it matters when it's your investment, or your home, on the line.

01 · Based in Auburn, across the inner west

A property manager with White House Estate Agents.

Proudly part of the White House Estate Agents team in Auburn — looking after rental homes across Sydney's inner west. I look after rental homes day to day — leasing them to the right tenants, keeping them tenanted, and managing them so the owner barely has to think about it.

Auburn, Lidcombe and Chester Hill are my home patch, and I work across the rest of the inner west from there. I treat every property like it's my own and every tenant like a person — which is exactly why my vacancies stay short and my tenants tend to stay. And I reply within a day, most evenings included.

02 · A few languages, one inner west

We can do this in the language your family actually speaks.

Auburn is one of Sydney's most multicultural suburbs, and renting or letting a property is a big deal for most families. It shouldn't have to happen in your second language.

I'm happy to talk in English, Dari or Farsi — so the lease, the condition report and the worried questions can all happen in the words you're most comfortable in, and nothing gets lost on the way.

03 · What I promise

  • Responsive

    By phone, text and email, I reply within a day — most evenings included. No chasing, no radio silence when something needs sorting.

  • Reliable

    Rent on time, inspections done, maintenance handled and the compliance kept straight. The unglamorous things, looked after so they don't become your problem.

  • Straight with you

    I'll tell you what your place would really rent for, what to fix, and what's worth it — even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.

A note from me

You'll be surprised how straight I am.

Most owners want a manager who never bothers them. I'd rather tell you the truth — what your place will really rent for, what's worth fixing, when a tenant needs a word — than keep you comfortable and let small problems grow.

I treat your property like it's my own and your tenant like a person, which is exactly why my vacancies are short and my tenants tend to stay. When you call, you get me — not a call centre — and I reply within a day.

Renting your place out next month, or just curious what it would fetch? Message me. Worst case, you get an honest weekly figure for free.

In their words

Don't just take my word for it.

A few words from the landlords and tenants I look after across the inner west.

“Shafiqa leased our investment property within the week and had a great tenant lined up before we'd even finished the paperwork. She keeps us in the loop and nothing is ever a hassle — easily the most responsive manager we've had.”

“As a tenant I actually felt looked after. Maintenance requests were sorted quickly and she always replied. After renting through a few agencies, dealing with Shafiqa was a completely different experience.”

“I've handed Shafiqa three properties now. Rents are achieved at the top of the range, vacancies are short, and I get a straight answer every time I call. I recommend her to anyone with a rental in the area.”

Good to know

More about me

The questions people actually ask — answered the way I'd answer them on the phone.

Where are you based, and who do I actually deal with?

I'm a property manager with White House Estate Agents, working across Sydney's inner west from the Auburn office. When you ring, you get me — not a call centre — and I reply within a day, most evenings included.

What makes you different from other property managers?

I treat your property like it's my own and your tenant like a person — which is exactly why my vacancies are short and my tenants tend to stay. I'd rather tell you the truth about the rent or a repair than keep you comfortable with a number I can't stand behind.

Why does it matter that you speak more than one language?

Renting or letting a property is a big deal for most families, and it shouldn't have to happen in your second language. Being able to talk through the lease, the condition report and the worried questions in Dari or Farsi as well as English means nothing gets lost in translation.

How many properties do you manage?

I currently look after a sizeable portfolio across the inner west — managing a good number as the lead manager and supporting many more alongside the team. Enough to know the area's rental market street by street, and few enough that you're never just a number.

Do you only manage in your core suburbs?

Auburn, Lidcombe and Chester Hill are my home patch and where I know the rental market best, but the inner west is one connected area and I work across all of it. If you're just outside it, ring me anyway — if I'm not the right fit I'll point you to someone who is.

Can I just have a no-pressure chat before deciding anything?

Of course — most of my conversations start exactly that way. There's no obligation and no follow-up you didn't ask for, so reach out whenever you're ready and we'll go at your pace.
