About Shane

Raised on the family farm at Possum Brush near Nabiac and educated locally, Shane started his Real Estate career in January 1996 at the tender age of just 18. Shane’s early career was greatly influenced by his father Fred Merrick, a long-term Real Estate Agent, property developer and businessman who started his real estate and business career in the Hills district, Sydney in the late 1950’s. Shane and his father opened Merrick’s Real Estate in Nabiac, a boutique Real Estate, Stock and Station agency that specialized in residential and rural lifestyle properties, in January 1996. This is where Shane’s father trained him in old fashioned business traditions, and where he learned that integrity and honesty are the keys to a successful business. After 12 years of success and service at Merrick’s Real Estate Shane decided in 2008 to move his real estate career to practice in Forster – Tuncurry. He thrived in a high paced and very competitive marketplace. In 2015 Shane received a great opportunity to move into the real estate and development sector, working for Roche Group of Double Bay, Sydney. Here Shane had great sales success with one of Australia’s premier real estate development and residential home building companies, as a sales and development manager. He experienced the joy of seeing residential land developments go from undeveloped bare parcels of land to neighborhood’s filled with new homes within a few years. Shane comments that this was a very rewarding and satisfying experience in his real estate career. With over 28 years of real estate sales and property development experience under his belt, Shane is a Class 1 – Licensed Real Estate and Stock and Station Agent. Away from business Shane is a dedicated family man who loves spending time with his wife (Joanne) and two young daughters on their hobby farm at Possum Brush where they enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle. Shane and his family enjoy holidaying on cruise ships and other overseas travel when they can. Shane comments that his family’s overseas holiday travels have been great educational experiences, especially for his young daughters. Shane’s years of real estate and property development experience, local knowledge and down to earth nature make both himself and the team at Elders Real Estate Taree the right choice for property owners looking to sell or buy their most valuable assets. Shane looks forward to being of service to clients, both vendors and purchasers throughout the Manning Valley.

I have found Shane to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful from the start of the selling process. Shane understood my requirements and marketed the property accordingly. There was no overselling, just a straightforward approach to the marketing and getting the right prospective buyers through the door. Overall, I have been very impressed with the service provided by Shane and the regular updates that were provided to me. I would recommend Shane to any prospective sellers and buyers.

Fantastic Result

We couldn't have been more happy that we chose Shane Merrick to sell our home of 22 years. When he walked into and around our home to give us an appraisal he took his time to absorb the place. He was interested about everything and asked a lot of questions so that he could build up his knowledge of our home for any potential buyer. He grew up in this area and knows the people and the surroundings very well. He is quiet and unassuming, but always had our best interest at the forefront of his mind which was very reassuring to know. The whole process from start to finish went exceptionally well and Shane kept us thoroughly informed throughout. Thank you so much Shane, we truly appreciate all your effort.
