Ballarat local Julian Shanks harboured a desire to work in residential real estate sales years before recently fulfilling his career ambition. As a former Ballarat small business owner, Julian was meticulous in his research in deciding upon an agency to work with. Upon meeting the directors of Ballarat’s Hocking Stuart agency, Julian knew that he was joining the best real estate team in town. The professionalism shown by the sales and property management staff was a definite drawcard.
Julian’s extensive experience in delivering superior customer service stands him in good stead for a successful career path with Hocking Stuart. His easygoing and approachable manner have previously endeared him to a legion of satisfied repeat customers.
“The best part of my role is meeting new people and assisting them with their real estate needs. I appreciate that the buying or selling of a home is a high involvement purchase, and try to minimize the stress of this process,” Julian says.
Away from the office, Julian takes pleasure in spending time with his two children. An outdoor person at heart, he confesses to loving all sports.
