Northern exposure You can trust us. Why? Because we are local business people ourselves and have an intimate understanding of the surrounding suburbs and market.

We live and breathe it every single day.

For over 80 years, we’ve been working in Commercial leasing across the whole Northern Beaches including Manly and Seaforth, to the Forest and Belrose area, all the way up to the tip of the peninsula at Palm Beach.

Our success is built on developing strong relationships and working with you as a team to achieve your goals.

These solid principles lead to a lot of repeat and referral business.

Whatever the property type, size or service, we cater for all, from individuals to institutions, creative to clinic and office to alfresco.

Since 1922, our company has sold, managed, developed, rented, leased and marketed commercial properties on the Northern Beaches for thousands of clients. It’s this longevity of expertise that has seen us constantly recognised as the area’s number 1 agency.

With a finger solidly on the pulse, Upstate has become ingrained into the local area as the go-to real estate brand for all your property needs.

The smooth running of your tenancy is what we’re about, with a leasing team to find quality tenants, an accounts team that collects rent and pays the bills, and a property manager who is dedicated to you.

We know what we’re doing in this space, and we want you to benefit from everything that makes us unique.

The friendliest, most experienced agents you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. (Sure, this one’s a claim, but we consider it as fact).

The art of leasing We’re all about delivering great service, better rental returns and worry-free everything.

This starts with finding the perfect tenant at the best rental price, and continues with ongoing management, combined with our renowned level of customer service.

All to make everything run smoothly from vacant to leased.

Just as every property is unique, so too are our marketing strategies, which we create to yield an optimum outcome.

Before we get to the steps of leasing, let’s elaborate on the most desirable outcome.

For Lease • Leases can be customised for both long term or short term.

• Consistent income and occupancy are the goals.

• The property is leased with options to renew.

• Designed to secure you a fair and equitable rent for your property.

• Ensures your rental income meets the market.

• Outgoings and increases in costs can be identified to ensure income.

• Annual increases and periodic market reviews by experts.

Your journey to leased With the complexities of leasing in our expert hands, the process of leasing your property with Upstate is straightforward.
