About Simon

Through years of competitive swimming, Simon Young acquired skills in the pool that reflect his business strengths - time management, teamwork, communication, work ethic and perseverance. Transitioning to a profession in real estate, Simon has developed a marketing and sales tact that formulates success. He explains his mindset and approach to the business of real estate, “Whether it’s swimming to win or contracting a property to sell at the highest price in the least number of days, the process starts with practice – more practice, preparation – more preparation, and patience – I am patient. I don’t enter a race to come in second”. Backed by over a decade of experience as an accredited builder, Simon has the know-how in presenting a property at its soundest. His knowledge of luxury home construction uniquely allows him to position each property at its best. These days his fitness regime is a pre-sunrise gym session as Simon’s workday at Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty starts like clockwork. It’s all systems go before the 8:00 am bell as he readies to set sales records. Leading by example, Simon is a mentor to novice sales agents entering the real estate industry. “As I started in sales, I was offered many a helping hand, so inspiring others to acquire best practice processes is my chance to return the favour,” explains Simon. Partner, Conor; and rescue pups, Zeus and Izzy, round out the Young family who live and love the Brisbane lifestyle.

Finally an agent you can count on!

Simon provided us with exceptional, consistent communication throughout the sale of our property. Simon has great understanding and knowledge of the Brisbane property market which was one of the reasons we appointed him over a local agent. We’ve had a great experience selling through Simon and highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. His in depth building knowledge and process driven methods achieved an outstanding price for us. He worked hard to iron out any concerns expressed by the buyers and explained things like no other agent could! When the time comes we will definitely be selling through Simon again.

Very Compassionate. Lovely Agent.

Simon was employed by my late husband to sell our home at 5 Lanham Av. He found Simon to be personable, honest and reliable. Since his passing, I have taken over the business relationship with Simon. He has done a very professional job selling the property, which has not been a straightforward sale; always keeping me informed of every development. I would highly recommend Simon as an honest, likeable, hardworking and trustworthy real estate agent.

Great Experience

Throughout our selling experience Simon made us feel comfortable to raise any concerns or queries. Simon drew on his building experience and understanding of renovation costs which allowed us to achieve our desired sale price. We continue to raw on Simon’s wide spread market knowledge now we have turned from seller to buyer.

Very Happy with Simon & Sotheby's

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your time, assistance and hard work in selling my house at 18 McCawley Street, Stafford Qld 4053. You have imprinted a very professional impression on me. You are a very kind, polite and thoughtful gentleman who only had my best interests at heart. The whole selling process was very easy, from our first meeting all the way through to the house selling at auction day. I understand that selling a house where the owners are separated can be more difficult, but through your incredible communication and great advice, you certainly made me feel more at ease. I looked forward to our weekly catch up where you were very considerate working around my schedule. The bound weekly update was imperative to my understanding of the interest and comments on the property. Your building background and knowledge was an added benefit when selling our property, not only because our house wasn’t certified but also in identifying the defects in the house & resolving these for maximum interest in the property, resulting in a very satisfying sale price at auction. You were a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending Sotheby’s International Realty at Ascot due to your employment with the firm. I will surely look forward to working with you whenever I do future property transactions.

Made the whole sale and purchase process as stree free as possible

Simon has a very sound knowledge of the Brisbane property market and was able to manage the vendor expectations accordingly. As a result there were no surprises during the transaction and the property sold on auction day - a great result.
