Twenty-five years running real estate franchises
After twenty-five years running real estate franchises in state and national agencies plus award winning cafes in Melbourne, Carmela Dimasi decided it was time to control how she provided the services to her customers.
That was 2017, when CD Realty was born. Then after 3 years of setting up her own business and establishing control, Carmela decided it was time to evolve the brand further. And in 2022, The Neighbourhood Property Collective was born.
One of Carmela’s life philosophies is to put others first. This is reflected in her business philosophy which is centered around the customers. Carmela has applied her primary principles of honesty, doing the right thing and always being able to put your head on the pillow with a clean conscience to everything she has done. It’s an extremely authentic approach and it’s refreshing. This is why her customers have been customers for so long. And we’re proud of this.
These traits are shared by the whole team. Which is why Carmela decided the business should no longer be named after her. The goal is for it to be bigger than herself, a Neighbourhood.
We are Family owned & Independent. As Carmela has learned, this is important. We can be agile, dynamic and there are no franchise fees or other hidden fees. This allows us to focus solely on property management now and forever. This allows us to be operationally agile and efficient ensuring you get real value for money.
Now that The Neighbourhood is born, we want to help every Australian love where they live. One home at a time.

Our Story
At The Neighbourhood, we believe that everyone deserves to love where they live.
A house is more than where you live, it's where people feel safe and where memories are created.
We are a team of real estate experts that focus primarily on property management. This means all of our energy goes into delivering a truly exceptional property management experience that has been built on the 25 years of experience and belief that a happy renter equals a happy owner. Driven by our founder Carmela’s belief in honesty, authenticity and doing the right thing, we’re immensely proud of The Neighbourhood’s culture of care towards all of our customers and stakeholders.
We’re reliable, authentic, honest and we will always do the right thing. We will treat our owners’ properties as our own. This means we will also treat our renters and their homes like our own.
The Australian rental market is in need of a shake-up and we’re here to make that happen. One home at a time.
