Jesse is a driving force within the mighty WLS team. For almost a decade, he’s crafted innovative, hassle-free strategies for buying or selling property through the crazy and the quiet times. What sets him apart? His poise when managing time frames and his expertise in navigating the sales process from start to finish.

Jesse knows the intricacies of a clear and impactful marketing campaign and is a big fan of keeping things simple. Get the price right, dress the property to impress, and captivate international audiences; it’s elementary. Despite being nationally recognised for his career achievements, he’s not one to rest on his laurels. He’s always exploring new ways to deliver a more dynamic, people-first experience that’s value-packed with logical advice and no fluff. 

Jesse lives consciously and leads by example. A proud environmental advocate, he reduces his carbon footprint by following a sustainable lifestyle and enjoys fishing in his downtime. He’s freethinking, mindful, and loves his urban garden, where he grows organic veggies and feeds free-roaming chickens with his wife and young son by his side.

Tom is easygoing with a fresh, authentic approach and is powered by his love of keeping things real. Driven and personable with exceptional industry knowledge and experience, he’s always available for a chat and provides clear-cut market advice.
 
Tom’s straightforward approach to real estate is magnetic. He’ll tell you if you should paint, declutter or replace that family photo with something more relatable. He’s achieved award-winning results curating seamless, well-run campaigns for residential homes, townhouses, heritage-listed properties and renovators’ dreams. Tom is the king of renovations, which gives him a distinctive edge. With a background in the construction industry and a deep appreciation for period homes, he’s respectfully injected beautiful Californian Bungalows with new life and brings hands-on experience he gladly shares.

Tom is a pedantic gardener excited by formal gardens with freshly mowed lawns and manicured hedges. He cherishes his downtime with his wife and young family. His “no car Sunday” rule gives them the advantage of living in the moment, taking in the surroundings and exploring local farmers’ markets, parks and beaches on foot.

His intricate knowledge of different micro-markets throughout the region is not to be sneezed at, with his specialty lying with newer homes and estates in and around the increasingly-popular outer rings of Newcastle. For Nick, a winning property sale is heavily influenced by the selling agent, the chosen strategy and impressive presentation.

Outside of work life, when he’s not on the golf course challenging a handicap that’s far too high or enjoying the salt water, you’ll find Nick relaxing with his wife Jess and beautiful daughter Poppy. 

Nick is as humble and down-to-earth as they come and is keen to continue to partner with the local charities and sports clubs he’s built relationships with over the years.
