About Danny

Danny is one of Ballarat’s top performing real estate agents and has the awards to prove it. But the award he is proudest of is winning Vendor Customer Service Agent of the Year in 2012. “I live and breathe real estate – I know it inside out and backwards – but most people only get involved in buying or selling a home a few times in their life. Because it’s an unfamiliar field and such large amounts of money are involved, it can be a very stressful experience. That’s why I always ensure that the people I deal with are well informed every step of the way. I believe in frequent, frank communication and that way people can make well informed decisions when it comes to buying or selling an expensive asset.” Danny learnt real estate at another well respected real estate group and he was top performer in their Ballarat office for three years in a row. He was also the number one agent of this 40+ office network in 2008-09 and runner up in 2008-08 and 2009-10. Now the director of Barry Plant’s office in Ballarat, Danny is building the business based on professionalism, ethics and excellent customer service. He looks forward to mentoring his team of agents and ensuring that they reflect his values. A local resident of Ballarat, Danny loves that a vibrant city is developing comfortably alongside its treasured historic buildings and is retaining areas of natural beauty. He believes that property in Ballarat is a great investment and that the future for the region looks good.

My first foray into Ballarat

I have been telling my friends for years that I would one day relocate to a regional location. I have now purchased the property to do so. Danny was friendly, amenable and easy to negotiate with on the purchase of this little Miners Cottage. He also made himself available for additional inspections by my tradespeople. Receiving a gift box after settlement was a nice touch. So too was knowing his wife works with him. This confirms there is a strong commitment to ensure both clients and customers are looked after.

Danny Illingworth review

We just wanted to say how pleased we were with Danny Illingworth at Barry Plant Real estate in Ballarat. We saw a home advertised in the local paper and thought it met most of our requirements so contacted him to arrange an inspection. He was able to accommodate us at the most convenient time for us (we were 75km away), he was able to answer the many questions we had and after viewing it and a careful analysis we decided to make an offer. Danny was able to negotiate an arrangement that was satisfactory for us and we are very grateful to him for arranging that. It appeared to us that nothing was too much of a problem. He was also happy to arrange another viewing after we had signed the purchase contract and was in regular contact between then and the settlement. We would certainly recommend him to friends wanting to transact real estate business in Ballarat and in fact will be using him for a future purchase we intend to make in a few months time.

Satisfied Investors

We met Danny after a long search for the perfect investment property, by default! We had been helping our daughter and son-in-law to find their first investment property. Danny showed us a few properties which he thought met our brief for them but in so doing we found our perfect property. Danny was very polite, helpful and cheerful throughout the whole process of buying, guided us to a great conveyancing company who were able to process our paper work very quickly. He was always prompt in returning texts or phone calls we made to him about the property and was always available to show us through again. His knowledge of Ballarat is excellent. We would recommend him to anyone looking for properties within this region to buy or to sell.
