About Jeremy

Real estate is fiercely competitive, so why bother with the pressure? One of my main motivations for being successful in everything I do is my family; my wife Jacky, my two sons; Finn and Ashley and my daughter Charli. They are the reason I strive to be the best salesperson that I can be. As a salesperson it has become my aim to exceed expectations, and present my clients with opportunities they may not have had otherwise. I have the experience and the skills to not only get you through, but get you through well. I also employ professional photographers and scriptwriters to ensure your property is presented at its best. With experience, come learned skills. Mine is negotiation, a skill many claim but can not provide when push comes to shove. Using competition to get the best results for my clients I can step into any situation with confidence, knowing I can read it with accuracy and hit the right notes to get an optimal result. Essentially, I am a problem solver. In my line of work the challenges are unique so I tailor make solutions. My team and I will emphasise the best parts of your property and curate a campaign that will bring your property to the market head and shoulder above the rest. Bold claim? I have the track record to support it.

Great experience throughout the process, good comms and very well organized

Nick has a team that helps with the level of comms needed, he has good process’s that ensure items are not missed and are followed up prior to due dates. He owns his role as agent, completing the complete process, without laying issues back on the vendor. It always seemed under control and organized…. No scrambling for answers or excuses. I would recommend Nick and his team.

Very knowledgeable agent with great negotiation skills.

Nick came in to help another agent with the sale of our house. From the get go he was very friendly and had great ideas to help with the sale of our house, as he had sold many houses in our area. His communication was great and always kept us up to date every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking to sell their house.

Nick has genuinely been such a great REA to deal with on our journey to buying our first home.

From the moment we first walked in to view the property to putting the sold sticker on, Nick was genuine, super friendly, responsive, sympathetic, the list could go on! After a lengthy and difficult journey we had, Nick stuck by us and helped us weave through the process which made the rest of the journey so much easier. We truly could not have done this without Nicks help and would definitely pick Nick if we were to ever sell in the future

My new favourite Real Estate Agent

I had a fantastic experience working with my agent, Nick, to sell my home. From the start, his kind, friendly, and genuinely warm nature made the choice easy, to go with him. He was always approachable and available whenever I had questions, no matter how small, and consistently went above, beyond and truly further than the extra mile. His support never wavered, even when a few unexpected hiccups came up during the sales process (completely outside of both of our control). He handled everything with such grace, patience, and a willingness to help in any way he could. What stood out most to me was his selfless approach and the way he genuinely put people first. His natural ability to connect and build trust made all the difference—it never felt like I was dealing with a “salesperson,” but rather someone who truly cared about achieving the best possible outcome. I’ll be recommending him to everyone I know, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to do incredibly well, he truly deserves it.

Excellent communication and a pleasure to deal with.

Andre was a pleasure to deal with from the start. We never felt pressured, yet he quickly understood our needs and worked with us to quickly get to an agreement. He and Brent worked hard to get a good outcome for both us and the vendors.
