Jim Dimitropoulos

An accomplished negotiator with an outstanding track record for consistently achieving optimum results for vendors - he is also an accredited auctioneer who delights in extracting every last bid at auction, to ensure he maximises his vendor's price.

Jim's friendly style and lighthearted approach to facilitating negotiations earn the trust of both buyers and sellers. "There's no doubt selling property is a serious business and it's my role to facilitate the process, whether by auction or private sale. But you should never undervalue the human aspects of real estate... this can also be an emotional business."

Having been raised locally, Preston was the perfect area for him to pursue his ambitions in the industry. "Its cultural diversity and inner-city location are very strong selling points," he says. A dedicated family man, Jim enjoys spending his spare time with his wife Alexandra, fishing and travel.
