Direct Answer
The short version.
Brisbane landlords can usually switch property managers by appointing a new agency and following the notice process in their current management agreement. The safest approach is to review the agreement, confirm any live tenant, maintenance, arrears and compliance issues, then have the new manager coordinate a clean handover.
Audit the property file
Before handover, check lease dates, arrears, water charging, maintenance, smoke alarms, keys, bonds, inspections and owner statement history.
