About Nick

Universally regarded as Baysides leading Real Estate Agent, Nick Johnstone has negotiated billions of dollars’ worth of Bayside Real Estate. "A focus on service, a drive to succeed and the experience to achieve goals are just the start," says Nick. "The key to achieving success in any industry is to be passionate about what you do." In Nick, that passion extends to time spent developing property in Brighton and to years developing a network of contacts - families, investors and developers - in the area. However, Nick's passions extend well beyond the properties and people of the local market. "Real estate is about more than just homes and the personalites who inhabit them. Every sale is its own intricate process - from developing a marketing strategy, to setting a targeted advertising plan, to negotiating an above expectation result. What sets Nick apart from other agents is his genuine empathy for his clients – yes, he actually cares for them. Every step of the process requires rigorous application of sales and marketing principles and, at the ultimate end, the strength to achieve a stated price." With thousands of auctions under his belt, Nick is one of Melbourne's most expert and experienced Auctioneers and is well-known for his assertive and tenacious style - he's even been known to accept $10 bids to maintain the momentum of his auctions! A licensed real estate agent with a Bachelor of Arts, Nick's greatest qualification is years spent negotiating the best results for his clients. "From a $300,000 Bathing Box to a $20 million Golden Mile estate, the principles to achieve a record-breaking result are the same," says Nick. "In every case our responsibilities are clear - we work for our vendors. Their interests are paramount. As the principal of the agency, each and every client has my attention and my commitment - whether it's providing regular face-to-face feedback, developing the most appropriate selling strategy, or holding firm in the final stages of negotiation." A Brighton resident for all of his adult life, Nick is deeply entrenched in the life of the bayside community. With children at Haileybury and Melbourne Grammar, he understands the needs of local families. And as a property industry insider, he understands intuitively the shifts of the marketplace. Above all, as a passionate property professional, Nick has a true feel for the needs of sellers in this demanding marketplace - needs he meets with his own brand of personalized service bundles of energy and a defined sense of urgency in all of his dealings. What sets Nick apart from other agents is his genuine empathy for his clients – yes, he actually cares for them. Financially, you simply must use Nick and his team for any future property transactions.

Recent home property purchase in Hampton.

Nick Johnston and his team were very professional in the process of our recent property purchase in Hampton. We found all the staff to be exceptionally understanding, prompt and communicative. Buying a home is very stressful but we found this process to be very straightforward and honest. Ella was super helpful and reliable to provide feedback and information for follow-up.
