Driving Premium Results Through Strategy, Authority, and Masterful Negotiation.

With over 35 years of experience in the real estate industry, I have navigated every market cycle and mastered the art of high-stakes negotiation. While my career is rooted in nearly three decades of successful business ownership and leadership, my specialised focus is "under the hammer"—where preparation, psychology, and technical skill converge to extract every possible dollar from the room.

The Auction Authority

My reputation in Auctioneering is defined by industry leadership and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Having spent my career at the forefront of the industry, my performance in the rostrum has been consistently recognized at the highest level:

Former President: Served as the President of the LJ Hooker Auction Chapter, where I was responsible for setting the benchmark for auction standards and training across the network.

4-Time Winner: Awarded LJ Hooker’s Number One Auctioneer in NSW (2007, 2009, 2010, and 2018).

Versatility: From boutique apartments to sprawling luxury estates, I bring a commanding presence to every auction, regardless of the asset class or location.

The Strategic Advantage

I don’t just show up on the day; I believe the most successful auctions are won in the weeks leading up to the event. My approach is defined by:

Pre-Auction Collaboration: I work closely with both the agent and the vendor in the lead-up to the auction, investing the time necessary to create total transparency and ensure expectations are perfectly aligned with current market conditions.

Dynamic Command: An ability to read the room instantly and adapt my rhythm to maintain bidding momentum.

Unwavering Professionalism: A transparent, high-energy style that builds the immediate buyer trust necessary to close record-breaking deals.

My objective remains identical for every property I represent: maximise the asset and never leave money on the table.
