A Reputation For Success.
I've always considered myself a people person, which is why I was drawn to real estate when I began my career in back 1997. My passion for connecting with people from all walks of life has been the foundation of my success, allowing me to facilitate thousands of property transactions over the past 27 years.
My qualifications include a Real Estate Agent’s Licence, a Business Degree from La Trobe University, and a Graduate Diploma in Valuations from RMIT in Melbourne. These credentials, combined with my deep understanding of real estate and the local market, enable me to offer a level of advice unrivalled in the local market place.
As a past winner of the prestigious Barry Plant Auction Competition, I've honed my negotiation skills to secure outcomes that often surpass my clients' expectations. When it comes to selling your home, I utilise my experience to market and negotiate for not only the best sale price, but the best overall experience
Beyond my work in real estate, I find balance in spending time with my family, particularly watching my daughter play netball and acting as “pit crew” for my son while racing go karts. We have a Cavoodle called Blue – he’s six years old and family life often centres around him.
If you're considering selling your home, I invite you to benefit from my expertise, as hundreds and hundreds of satisfied clients have. My approach to real estate—blending exceptional knowledge with a genuine love for people and their specific needs —ensures a rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Contact me, and let's explore how my professional expertise, fueled by my personal passion for success, can achieve outstanding results for your real estate needs.

Ray B - seller
Great communication kept us up to date with prospective buyers. Worked hard for the price we wanted.
Lee T - seller
Simon was easy to deal with, realistic in his appraisal & didn’t over quote to get the business (as we found with other agents) he has a good understanding of the local market and we were kept updated throughout the campaign. Also like his sense of community sponsoring the local football club. We can recommend Simon if you’re thinking of selling.
