About Gavin

Gavin van Rooyen’s real estate experience is hard to match. As an award-winning auctioneer and sales agent, he leads the Jellis Craig Bentleigh team by example with a strong yet empathetic approach and a commitment to providing the highest levels of professional guidance and service. Gavin’s communication and listening skills mean he is a strong negotiator who knows how to achieve the best possible outcome for vendors and buyers alike. Determined, focused, motivated and passionate, his local knowledge extends across the Bayside and Glen Eira areas, where he has his finger firmly on the pulse of the market. Known for his ability to forge strong working relationships, Gavin’s clients appreciate his transparency and straightforward approach. “High level communication is a must in real estate” he says. “There shouldn’t be any surprises for buyers and sellers, even on auction day. The best results come from establishing trust and keeping everyone in the loop on realistic prices and competition.” “Building a relationship of mutual respect with my clients means I have a network of buyers and sellers who come back time and time again as their property needs change” he says. Uniquely, Gavin also speaks Mandarin, and his language skills can make the difference to closing a sale.

Very professional and knows the area well

He is a very professional agent and knows the Bentleigh area well. I have recently bought a property from him and was a great to deal with. He is very professional and always follows up.

It was a pleasure doing business with Gavin

Sold an apartment recently with Gavin who came highly recommended by more than one contact. Immediately, it was very easy to see why. He is fiercely committed to a great outcome, extremely driven and very organised. Throughout the campaign, he was in regular touch - keeping us updated of OFIs, competing properties and was very incisive in his strategy for the campaign. His skills as an auctioneer are second to none. With all of the above, a great result was achieved. I recommend Gavin highly to anyone looking for real estate assistance.

1st Class Real Estate Agent/Auctioneer

Gavin van Rooyen is a brilliant Real Estate Agent and Auctioneer and a true asset to the Jellis Craig real estate group. From the very beginning, Gavin was extremely professional, punctual, honest and was always true to his word. Gavin helped make the whole process of selling our home so much less stressful with his constant support, reassurance and professionalism (and keeping us in the loop throughout the entire campaign). At our auction day, Gavin blew us away!!! He was without doubt the best auctioneer we had ever seen and gave it his all (sweat included). Thanks to Gavin, he helped us achieve an outstanding result on the big day. We would not hesitate to recommend Gavin to anyone for all their real estate needs. He is simply the best!!! Thank you so much everything Gavin!!!!

Couldn't have asked for more

Gavin was professional and personable from the moment we met him. He had done his homework before we met which gave us confidence in his interest in the property. He gave us good direction in how to make the house look at its best and gave us access to a stylist who we found to be sensible as well as knowledgeable. Prior to the house going on the market and during the time it was open for inspection, Gavin communicated well with us, explained the process clearly and answering any questions we had. On the day of the auction he and his staff were supportive. He was also a good auctioneer. In regard to asking price, he didn't promise the world but delivered more than the market was indicating was a good price. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the way Gavin approached and carried out all aspects of the sale.

Gavin is Great!

The process of selling our home was certainly made easier by Gavin and Larni with their professional yet friendly approach. Jellis Craig offer a styling consultant prior to photos and open days and always kept us fully informed with the results of Open Days etc. On the day of our Auction we were more than impressed when Gavin arrived with 3 other agents, all to assist potential buyers with the bidding process. He is a showman with a microphone in his hand and our selling price mirrored the hard work everyone had put in....well above expectation! Thank you again Gavin and Jellis Craig.
