AREIV, CPV, AAPI, Licensed Estate Agent, Specialist Retail Valuer, Auctioneer
John Castran has never been one to follow convention. As a registered valuer, he spent the first decade of his career in Gippsland, developing expertise across diverse markets and properties. It was also from here that he first came across Dinner Plain—a region now synonymous with the family name.
Returning to Melbourne in 1985, John established Castran with the aim of bringing a different way of thinking to real estate. Shaped by his industry insight, multi-sector knowledge, and leadership philosophy, the agency quickly became known for its innovative approach, superior results, and dedication to providing a great client experience. A reputation that continues to this day.
With son Lachlan working alongside him, John enters his forth decade in property as one of Victoria’s pre-eminent real estate practitioners. Wise, forthright, and always engaging, he is held in the highest regard as an agent, analyst, valuer, and auctioneer.
John aligns his staff and customers not on ‘what’ and ‘how’ but the powerful ‘why’ are we doing this type of business. We are doing this business to buy, sell, invest or rent a business or lifestyle that is going to improve our customer’s lives. John combines the functional with the emotional so his employees focus on not only the big picture, but on the little things that ensure a great experience when dealing with Castran.
Our company mission statement is to provide up to date market advice to our clients with the very best of industry knowledge.
