WHO ARE WE?
Our Difference • Our Independence • Experienced and Local • Our Directors • Our People • Our Full Circle Approach • Our Award Winning Team • Our Attitude
Same isn’t a great formula for the best results. Or for life. If you’re doing the same thing and expecting a different result, you’re bound to be disappointed. So, the saying goes. In fact, in today’s market, the result could easily be worse. Aston Commercial is a different type of agent. A difference shaped by our history as a trusted generational advisor – and our commitment to embracing change. We do our homework first and talk second. We approach the market with imagination and flair that’s firmly anchored in experience — then work hard. Success then becomes a logical outcome, not a fortunate windfall.

MARKET UPDATE
C
Current Mood... They say “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor” and 2020 was certainly one of the roughest “seas” we have navigated. Often in these unchartered times you are required to change course temporarily, but re-align and not forget what we stand for as a business representing our Clients. The start of 2021 has allowed us to appreciate the importance of maintaining our resolve to be Melbourne’s Leading Boutique Commercial Agency. It is a fresh start, whereby we are required to learn to work and live in a world with COVID albeit with the imposition of Government regulations. We can only control what we can on a daily basis to ensure we deliver the highest possible professional service. 2021 will be still tumultuous with some key hurdles being the official end of many Federal Government support initiatives such as Jobkeeper in March and the hopeful end to the Commercial Rent Relief Scheme. Again, we cannot control decisions imposed upon our industry, however, we have learned to adapt and continue to maintain the highest level of professional acumen regardless of the circumstances. We envisage a year of greater optimism as a COVID Vaccine begins to be rolled out and Governments are better prepared to handle future outbreaks. Early signs based on the level of activity in late 2020 is that property management issues between landlords and tenants will still exist, tenant enquiry is steady and there are plenty of active yet cautious buyers. So our view is to remain looking at the “glass half full” and remind ourselves that our brand is more than just a logo. It is about redefining what our best can be and that is what our Team is about. So remember, we are still and will continue to be here for you in 2021 and beyond. We look forward to being part of your journey and invite you to connect with us anytime…no matter how rough the sea, our sailors are ready! Fred Nucara Director & Officer in Effective Control 7
Talk to us. Now the 2020 door has finally closed, we are looking forward to a (fingers crossed) much better 2021.

Surprisingly, given the low interest rates on commercial loans and a plethora of superfund investors, there is a very active pool of buyers surging into the market. Yes, they may be a little cautious, however history has proven that “bricks and mortar” investment performs better over time when combined with return and capital growth. Expect buyer demand to continue to be solid. Marketing, negotiation experience and “thinking different” will be crucial. Investing less in marketing is a huge risk in this environment – how do you stand out from the pack? Our Team have continually considered various mediums to improve generating not only a higher level of enquiry but also better quality of enquiry. Our mantra of elite marketing for your property will become more decisive in capturing the right pool of tenants and buyer calls so that we can secure that right business for the vacancy or find that buyer that will be pay the premium price. As we commence our 2021 journey, it is important to remind ourselves about our core values around commercial property investment and that our Team aim to be your Trusted Adviser. We are not sitting on the fence, but I bet there will be those that will unfortunately “dive” and those that will “fly”.
