The first social media app created specifically for property managers celebrates its first 30 days this week, marking a milestone that has already reshaped the conversation around property management across Australia and New Zealand.

But if you’re expecting another boring compliance tool, training program, or coaching platform pushing more content down your throat, you’re going to be very disappointed.

Because Hvana is here to bring back the fun, the joy, and the connection that has been missing from property management for far too long.

It’s a sector that has been ignored and left to survive on outdated systems, unrealistic expectations, and increasing public pressure.

As the spotlight from the media and consumers gets brighter, the role has become harder than ever, pushing some of the industry’s best professionals to breaking point. Many have walked away, burnt out and disillusioned.

Then came Hvana, the industry’s cure. And for less than $50 a year, it’s affordable for everyone.

A Movement That Started With a Conversation

In less than a month, Hvana has become the most talked-about community in Australasian property management, and with good reason.

“Property managers have been screaming out for support for years,” says Nic Fren, Founder of Hvana and CEO of Bespoke Media. “They are the backbone that holds our industry together. Many real estate businesses simply wouldn’t operate without their property management departments.

“And yet, when it comes to recognition, support, and acknowledgement of what they’re going through, it’s just not there. Let’s ram another course down their throat. Let’s introduce some more tech. Let’s make it harder for property managers to do their job.

“Sure, we celebrate those who run the biggest portfolios at industry awards and those who have zero rental arrears, and that’s important. But where do we recognise, appreciate, and support those young agents who came into the industry full of excitement, only to find themselves on a page like Purple Pingers, having the life ripped out of them for simply doing their job?

“What about the experienced agents who got into this industry because they love looking after people, only to become the punching bag every time the media runs a negative story?

A landlord who has endured ten interest rate rises in a short period decides to lift the rent slightly to keep up with repayments, and suddenly the property manager becomes the villain.

“It’s no wonder they’re walking away in droves. And what’s the industry’s answer? More conferences, more tech, more ‘coaches’ with another course to sell. It’s nonsense.

“What the industry actually needs is a platform where property managers can connect with others in their space, build relationships, vent when they’ve had a bad day, and, get ready for this, actually have some fun.

“With all the negativity, abuse, and pressure, somewhere along the way we lost the ability to laugh, to take a breath, to regroup, and to simply say, ‘That tenant was a nightmare,’ in a safe space. Then you move on, because it’s out of your system.

“This platform is an asset for employers who genuinely care about wellbeing, mental health, and retention in their offices.”

The Space the Industry Needed

Hvana isn’t another training platform or system. It’s not here to add to the noise, it’s here to clear it.

“We’re not a tool or a resource,” Fren explains. “We’re a community. We’re bringing the fun back into real estate.

And for many people, that quick moment of cheeky fun, or that pause in their day to connect with someone who gets it, maybe even someone in another country, that’s what’s been missing. That’s what this industry has needed.”

Connection Without Borders

In less than a month, Hvana has grown into one of the most authentic and supportive spaces in the profession.

“There are people in Hvana who didn’t know each other thirty days ago,” Fren says. “And now, they’re celebrating wins together, engaging, and supporting one another. That’s the power of connection. That’s what makes Hvana what it is.”

Building More Than a Platform

For Fren, Hvana isn’t about innovation for the sake of it. It’s about leadership with empathy.

The platform continues to grow every day, proof that property managers were never asking for more tech, they were asking for connection.

Hvana is that connection. And less than a month in, it’s already changing the culture of an industry that’s finally ready to listen.

A Little Something to Think About

Whether you’re in the property management space yourself or a director looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your team, Hvana memberships are less than $50 per year that’s right, per year.

An entire year of connection, support, and community for less than the cost of one team lunch. It’s one of the smartest, most meaningful investments you can make in the people who keep your business running.
