About us

1840 Real Estate is Adelaide’s latest boutique agency specialising in Residential Property. Founder and Director Karl Niehus’ family arrived in Adelaide in 1840, Karl was born at the (formerly) Queen Victoria Hospital on Fullarton Road, Rose Park. Having grown up in Adelaide, he has watched the city expand significantly over the years. He began working in sales over 16 years ago, and about 4 years ago he decided to put his extensive experience to use in the Real Estate industry with much success. During this time, he has sold millions of dollars worth of Real Estate hitting record price, after record price in Marden and other suburbs around Adelaide. The time came to go out on his own with the goal of providing a personally specialised service for each client, something he was unable to offer while under a corporate banner. 1840 Real Estate is a family owned and operated business, ensuring we remain highly motivated by customer satisfaction. Each member of our team specialises in their area of expertise allowing 1840 to offer a full range of services (Sales and Property Management) we also work closely with our Mortgage Advisor, New House Home Loans who have been established for over 9 years (Finance Brokers with access to 30+ banking institutions).

Vast experience in the rental aspect as well as eventual sale of my property

Vast experience in the rental aspect as well as eventual sale of my property

Karl has done a wonderful job looking after my rental property these last 3 years, taking care of any arising issues smoothly and quickly while keeping me informed at all times. When the decision to sell the property was made , his knowledge of the market and his negotiating skills with the buyer were invaluable. It was a pleasure working with Karl and his team and I hope that we will do so again in the future.

Smooth and Successful Sale Experience, Highly Recommend!

I recently sold my property with the help of Karl at 1840 Real Estate, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Karl was extremely helpful throughout the entire process - clear in his communication, knowledgeable about the market, and always available to answer any questions I had. His guidance and professionalism made the process smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend 1840 Real Estate not only for selling a property but also for their excellent ongoing property management services. I look forward to keeping in touch with Karl and the team for any future real estate needs. He has already gone above and beyond, offering valuable advice for any future property purchases. Thanks again!

Reliable, professional and experienced realtor!

Reliable, professional and experienced realtor!

Karl at 1840 has been an absolute dream to work with from day 1. I took a speed dating approach to choosing a real estate agent for the management of my property and Karl and Celeste at 1840 were the most organised and well presented (in addition to the most competitively priced) by far. They are clearly dedicated and knowledgeable in the market, and take a more intimate approach to management. All communication over the past 2-3 years has been seamless, they found reliable tenants, and helped sell my property without a hitch, and securing me a great price. I could not recommend them more highly.
