Talk to us about the Ascot Vale area and why it makes such
a great location for young families like your own?
I'm a proud dad to three young kids, and I absolutely love raising
my family in the heart of Ascot Vale. To me, it's the perfect place for
families – quiet, leafy streets, friendly neighbours, and so much to
do. Weekends are all about family adventures, whether it’s a walk
along the Maribyrnong River, out for breakfast on Union Road or
taking the kids for a play at one of the many local parks.
With excellent schools nearby, and a strong community vibe,
I honestly couldn't imagine a better place to call home.
After living and working in Ascot Vale for 16 years, what changes
have you seen in the property market over this time?
It’s been incredible to see the positive changes that have shaped
the area and its property market. The suburb has grown into one
of Melbourne’s most sought-after locations, with its mix of heritage
charm and modern conveniences attracting families, professionals,
and investors alike.
What initially drew you to real estate, what do you love about it
and how has your career evolved over time?
I’ve always had an interest in architectural properties, even from
a young age. At 20, I approached about 6 offices before landing my
first job alongside Simon Mason—someone I’m proud to still work
with to this day.
In the beginning, it was tough. We had little recognition in the
marketplace, and at the time, we were a new brand in the area.
Through determination and perseverance, we gradually built our
reputation and established ourselves in the community.
Today, I work within a fantastic team of five, and I feel incredibly
fortunate to be surrounded by truly exceptional colleagues.
What I love most about this job is that no two days are ever the
same—we’re always learning, growing, and improving.
