Team J

Take a Southland farming background, add in extensive sales experience, a good dose of work ethic, and you have Jimmy Allen. Jimmy’s success to date in the industry is a testament to this combination of sales and service skills, plus an undeniable tie to the land. Jimmy's real estate focus – “a bit of everything” - is accordingly a mix of rural and residential, with a bit of property development thrown in for good measure. Jimmy credits good communication and established local connections as being strengths he brings to the Bayleys Queenstown team. And when he isn’t on the phone selling property for his clients, expect to see this outdoorsman making the most of the area’s abundant outdoor opportunities (you guessed it – out on the land).

When buying or selling in Queenstown, you’ll want the assurance of dealing with an agent who knows the local market and is well-acquainted with Queenstown’s hidden gems - Jessica Coburn is a clear stand out. Jessica had an enviable childhood spending time at her grandparents’ farm, Mt Earnslaw Station, and has lived in Queenstown and Glenorchy for over 20 years. She worked in Queenstown’s hospitality industry for a decade before starting a young family here, buying property locally, and eventually joining her husband, Stacy, as part of the 46-strong local Bayleys team. Jessica and Stacy were attracted to the Bayleys brand for its family values, and enjoy working from their landmark, purpose-built office in the heart of Queenstown where clients too enjoy popping in to talk listings. “We have all the latest resources and technology to centre our marketing around matching buyers to properties,” says Jessica “and to present stunning submissions. Our team is the largest here with a level of experience that gives us the edge for buyers and vendors.” Reliability and diligence are two simple values that Jessica holds dear. “I am very clear when dealing with vendors, my attitude is to be honest, open and transparent.” With an intuition for ascertaining what a buyer wants, Jessica’s forte is mid-to-high end property, young families, the expat community and young professionals. Call Jessica now for a personable and supportive real estate experience.
