About Ian

Results driven and highly professional, Ian places importance on building a healthy working relationship with his vendors, grounded around clear communication and expert negotiation. Ian is known as someone who is prepared to 'go the extra mile,' Ian's superior local knowledge enables him to provide honest, reliable advice about the state of the Melbourne housing market. Indeed, it is this focus and enthusiasm, coupled with his excellent negotiation skills that have allowed him to achieve outstanding results which often exceed his vendor's expectations. Originally hailing from New Zealand, where he received a Bachelor of Physical Exercise at the University of Otago, Ian served as a super yachtsman before embarking on a sales career at William Batters Real Estate. “Moving to sales from yachting was a natural transition,” Ian says. “You need to have a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills and stamina to survive the long hours on deck. I apply this mentality to every sale I make.”

Outstanding Agent who made life easy

Ian made the whole process of selling my apartment easy, I was constantly in and out of the state and he never failed to keep me updated on day to day progress. He had a solid work ethic and left no stone unturned. I would have no hesitation in using his services in the future.

Sale of flat

We were most impressed with the very professional way the sale was managed including; the initial meeting, reports after each open for inspection, excellent ideas on how to enhance the presentation of the flat and negotiations with existing tenants as well as the presentation at the auction. Highly recommended.

humble and polite

I recently bought an investment property through Ian. Unlike other agents he is not at all aggressive. He is very humble and polite and would certainly recommend him.

Highly recommended

The decision to sell my property was made over almost a two year period. Throughout this time, Ian was patient and did not rush me. He did not pressure me to sign up with his Agency. He allowed me to take my time, knowing that this was a significant decision for me. His communication and market knowledge are excellent, and his overall approach to the selling of my property was free of any "over the top" sales pitches. He is a genuine and authentic professional.

Fantastic agent

Ian has been phenomenal from our first conversation right through auction day. We live overseas and he managed everything from completing some last minute work, furnishing the property and advice on other services. All this and very efficient and very professional. Cannot recommend Ian highly enough.
