Once little more than a buzzword, ‘transparency’ was frequently promised by property management agencies—but rarely delivered. It wasn’t for lack of effort; legacy systems simply weren’t designed with transparency in mind, and the patchwork of add-ons and plug-ins meant to bridge the gap often made things worse.
Today, Ailo is changing that. With transparency built into the platform from the ground up, agencies of all sizes can now genuinely deliver on that promise. The result? Clearer communication, stronger trust, and real-world benefits for renters, property investors, and agencies alike.
Here’s how three forward-thinking agencies are finding success - just by using the transparent tools Ailo was designed to provide.

Arrears are non existent

Hype Realty (QLD)


Located on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Hype Realty is a boutique real estate business founded by industry veterans Mel Morey and Shannon Wheatley. Passionate about raising the bar on transparency and service, they embraced Ailo to support their vision for a truly customer-centric business model.
Ailo's features like auto-pay, rent reminders, and multiple payment options have made it easier for tenants to stay on top of their rent, leading to improved cash flow and reduced administrative workload for the agency.
One of their most significant achievements since adopting Ailo has been in arrears management. Mel Morey shares:
“Arrears used to sit at about 11%. Since we started using Ailo, it’s at zero. We barely think about arrears now!”.
