About Brett

For many years Canberra-native Brett Russell resisted his real estate friends’ pleas to join their various franchises. Known as an astute investor who had bought and sold properties across the capital for more than two decades, Brett couldn’t envision being comfortable rushing between properties, focused on quantity not quality, and never giving a client the real service that he believes everyone selling or buying a property should get. It was when he was selling his own home in 2012 and met potential purchaser and now Canberra Property Partners business partner Paul Kuske that he discovered someone who was similarly property and business savvy, and equally disenfranchised with the current state of agency service standards. When the pair joined forces, Brett knew that they would be bringing something new and fresh to the market. The proved it within weeks, firstly establishing a suburb single-sale record in Harrison then taking over a home listing that another agent couldn’t sell and receiving four higher offers and selling it within a month. The home owner was astonished and delighted at their style of service and their rapid success. “The experiences people have selling and buying a home can affect them for a long time,” Brett says. “I understand what they are going through. I have been there, and had the good and bad experiences and learned from them. “My own experiences make me the ethical, hardworking and attentive agent I am today.”

About Paul

Few who know him were surprised when Paul Kuske moved into real estate sales after 20 years running two successful multimedia retail companies. He’d long gained a reputation as a man whose sheer zeal and joy for life could soften and sway even the toughest and most-jaded customer. The move into real estate was really a return to his roots. Paul’s father, Paul senior, had been a real estate agent and property developer in Colorado in the United States in the ’60s and ’70s at a time when the state’s ski towns were experiencing rapid growth and development. His family relocated to Canberra when Paul was seven and he grew up living in many different suburbs across the city. The catalyst for creating Canberra Property Partners came after having an unnecessarily difficult property purchase owing to the selling agent’s lack of help and service, something that Paul, who describes himself as “a helper by nature”, could not fathom. Clients who now buy and sell their homes with Paul and his business partner Brett testify to the team’s unique and empathetic approach. For Paul, it simply comes down to care and respect which he demonstrates by actively listening to everyone’s points of view, and finding a path to a healthy outcome.

Management and subsequent sale of rental property

Canberra Property Partners managed our rental property for a number of years and recently managed its sale. We cannot fault Paul's and his business partner's property management. We were always well informed, and matters were promptly and competently addressed. CPP also assisted us in preparing the property for sale and published a very polished listing, resulting in a lot of interested potential buyers. CPP achieved an excellent price; and we understand the buyers are also delighted with their purchase. Win, win!

Thank you Breet

Brett helped us secure our first home. He and his agency were polite, professional and not pushy at all (which in Canberra let me tell you is a big rarity). A big thanks to Brett and would recommend him in the future to other prospective buyers/sellers. Thanks again.

Brett made my property sales easy

I have dealt with Brett on several property sales over the past 3 years and will not hesitate to use his services again. The whole process from advertising through to closing the sale was excellent with concise, honest communication at every step.

A positive experience engaging Brett for the sale of our Calwell property

We had a very good result for the sale of our property in Calwell due to our engagement with the Canberra Property Group. Both Brett and Paul provided sound advice for improvements to our property to increase the probability of sale. We followed through with this advice and along with the staging of the house made it very marketable and resulted in a quick sale with a price that we were more than happy with. Brett and Paul did a good job with the advertising and showing of the house and were able to negotiate the sale price well in our favour. We were very happy with the level of service provided and would be happy to recommend them to anyone thinking of employing a professional real estate agent when next putting their property on the market.

Brillant and profesional!

The buying at our new house in Calwell was a very pleasant experience. Brett provided timely response to all of our questions, requests and support needed. The whole process was easy and smooth with his help. He conducted clear and fair negotiations of price with the owners, friendly and professional approach and was very generous by sending a wonderful box of delicious woodies after the process was completed. We recommended Brett to all our friends and family.
