About Nick
Universally regarded as Baysides leading Real Estate Agent, Nick Johnstone has negotiated billions of dollars’ worth of Bayside Real Estate. "A focus on service, a drive to succeed and the experience to achieve goals are just the start," says Nick. "The key to achieving success in any industry is to be passionate about what you do." In Nick, that passion extends to time spent developing property in Brighton and to years developing a network of contacts - families, investors and developers - in the area. However, Nick's passions extend well beyond the properties and people of the local market. "Real estate is about more than just homes and the personalites who inhabit them. Every sale is its own intricate process - from developing a marketing strategy, to setting a targeted advertising plan, to negotiating an above expectation result. What sets Nick apart from other agents is his genuine empathy for his clients – yes, he actually cares for them. Every step of the process requires rigorous application of sales and marketing principles and, at the ultimate end, the strength to achieve a stated price." With thousands of auctions under his belt, Nick is one of Melbourne's most expert and experienced Auctioneers and is well-known for his assertive and tenacious style - he's even been known to accept $10 bids to maintain the momentum of his auctions! A licensed real estate agent with a Bachelor of Arts, Nick's greatest qualification is years spent negotiating the best results for his clients. "From a $300,000 Bathing Box to a $20 million Golden Mile estate, the principles to achieve a record-breaking result are the same," says Nick. "In every case our responsibilities are clear - we work for our vendors. Their interests are paramount. As the principal of the agency, each and every client has my attention and my commitment - whether it's providing regular face-to-face feedback, developing the most appropriate selling strategy, or holding firm in the final stages of negotiation." A Brighton resident for all of his adult life, Nick is deeply entrenched in the life of the bayside community. With children at Haileybury and Melbourne Grammar, he understands the needs of local families. And as a property industry insider, he understands intuitively the shifts of the marketplace. Above all, as a passionate property professional, Nick has a true feel for the needs of sellers in this demanding marketplace - needs he meets with his own brand of personalized service bundles of energy and a defined sense of urgency in all of his dealings. What sets Nick apart from other agents is his genuine empathy for his clients – yes, he actually cares for them. Financially, you simply must use Nick and his team for any future property transactions.

Quick and painless

Nick was the agent vendor for our recent purchase which was speedy and completely faultless. Very helpful and responsive throughout, we couldn't have hoped for a more painless transaction.

Sold in under two weeks with an outstanding result

Selling my family home after 28 years was a big and emotional step. From the outset, Nick made the entire process feel calm, structured and under control. His understanding of the Bayside market gave us immediate confidence and he was clear on how to position the home to attract the right buyers and achieve a premium result. With Jane managing the tenancy agreements over the past five years, we already had a strong level of trust in the team. Jane was consistently proactive, reliable and across every detail during this period making the transition into the sales process seamless. We were working with people who genuinely understood the property and cared about the outcome. Nick’s approach to the campaign was thoughtful and deliberate. Assisted by Joe they created genuine momentum through buyer engagement and communication from the team was excellent throughout. We always felt informed, supported, and confident in the decisions being made. The result exceeded our expectations, with the property sold before auction in under two weeks — a testament to the strategy, execution and strength of the team. Thank you, Jane and Nick you were awesome.
