Why PhilipWebb

The Biggest In The Business


The Philip Webb Property Management Division has led the way in caring for its clients' properties throughout the eastern suburbs for around thirty years. Managing almost 6,000 rental properties, the team handles what is now one of the largest single rent rolls in Melbourne, with properties in all price ranges, in suburbs ranging from the inner city to the outer East.

A Team Of Specialists

The team now totals 50 highly dedicated property management professionals, including 26 property managers,  business development & leasing specialists and 12 administration support staff, making it one of the largest teams in Melbourne. Each of the Property Managers portfolios are designated to clearly defined geographical zones all over the eastern suburbs to ensure they remain experts in their respective areas.

Led By An Industry Leader

Widely recognised as one of Australia’s industry leaders in property management, Sophie Lyon boasts an impressive professional history covering over 20 years in the industry with several high profile real estate firms.

Prior to joining Philip Webb, Sophie spent 6 years as the Senior Property Manager of Woodards before taking up the role of Director of the Property Management Division of Kay and Burton in South Yarra.

This kind of experience left Sophie well placed to take up a post with the Philip Webb Real Estate Property Management Division. With the department growing at a phenomenal rate following organic growth & the acquisition of several high profile rent rolls in the Eastern suburbs, Sophie saw the challenge of taking on the biggest rent roll in the eastern suburbs as one she simply could not resist.

Currently a Director of the REIV, as well as a certified REIV Trainer and Licensed Real Estate Agent, her involvement in the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) as a long standing member of the Property Management Chapter and a delegate to the Members Council involves her in every area of Property Management. Regularly speaking at Industry events, conferences both National & International and a sought after contributor for comments from the media ensures that the Philip Webb team are up to date with the latest changes & developments in the Industry.
Sophie has a wealth of knowledge in all facets of real estate and has built up a strong reputation within the industry. Her success in property management is founded on a commitment to continuous improvement and her ability to understand exactly what clients want from their managing agent.
