As we wrap up 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible year we’ve had at Sidekick—a year full of growth, transformation, and progress for the property management community.
Sidekick has always been about empowering property management professionals to build sustainable, profitable businesses. This year, we took bold steps to amplify that mission, creating powerful opportunities for our members and driving meaningful change across the industry.
2024: A Year of Milestones
1. The Launch of the Property Management Business Accelerator (PMBA)
This year, we launched the Property Management Business Accelerator (PMBA)—our industry-first mastermind coaching program specifically tailored for property management business owners. PMBA welcomed over 27 members in 2024, and the results have been nothing short of transformative.
With over 70 tools, templates, and training resources added to the program, members are achieving significant wins. From streamlining operations to boosting revenue and building sustainable systems, PMBA is proving to be a game-changer for scaling property management businesses and growing a rent roll.
2. A New Website and Property Management Resources
We proudly unveiled our brand-new website this year, featuring a Property Management Shop loaded with tailored resources like:
- The Time Management Toolkit for Property Managers
- Pimp Your Procedures
- The Ultimate Startup Guide for Property Management Businesses
These tools are designed to simplify operations and drive growth, helping property managers take back control of their day while building thriving businesses. With many more products and template packs on the way, this is sure to be your go to home of property management training, property management courses and property management templates.
3. Expanding Our Industry Impact
Sidekick continued to make waves across the property management and real estate coaching sectors:
- Partnering with Sarah Cincotta from Rise With Sarah Cincotta to deliver two huge sold out events events like The PM Summit and The BDM Summit, both returning in 2025.
- Presenting at over 30 industry events nationwide, sharing insights, tools, and strategies to elevate property management businesses including events with First National, Professionals, REIT and more.
4. Coaching That Delivers Results
Sidekick clients achieved extraordinary outcomes this year, including millions of dollars in additional revenue and asset value. From expanding teams to rediscovering the joy in their businesses (or finally taking that long-overdue holiday), our tailored coaching proved to be a true catalyst for change.

Adapting, Listening, and Innovating
We know that property management can be relentless. That’s why this year, we doubled down on listening to our members. Through programs like Calm the Conflict and Value the Vacate, we focused on creating solutions that empower property managers to reclaim their time, lead with confidence, and grow their businesses sustainably.
Personal Wins: A Year of Growth and Change
This year wasn’t just about Sidekick’s success—it was also about personal milestones.
- I took my first holiday as a business owner, thanks to having a team and systems in place to keep things running smoothly.
- I set myself up back in Sydney as a single mum, balancing family life with growing Sidekick.
- Despite significant personal change, I grew Sidekick’s business revenue by 30%, proving that resilience and the right systems can drive success, no matter the circumstances.
These achievements mean so much to me, as they reflect the very values I strive to instil in our clients: balance, resilience, and sustainable growth.
Looking Ahead to 2025
We’re not stopping here. Next year, we’ll take Sidekick’s impact to the next level with:
- Expanding the PMBA Community: More masterclasses, coaching sessions, templates, in-person workshops, and growth-focused processes to help businesses scale confidently.
- Results-Focused Coaching: A goal to supporting 100+ businesses to double their income and rent roll value in 2025.
- Fostering Leadership: Helping property managers transition into thriving business owners and industry leaders.
