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
Current Mood... It feels like we are in a never ending holding pattern with the vast majority of our clients expressing sheer frustration with lockdown life that resulted from poor decisions from our leaders. On the 27th September Leaders in State Government announced one-on-one real estate inspections were on, but 24 hours later clarified that this was residential only and not commercial. That 24-hour window saw our phones and emails light up and clearly showed that people are ready to go and get back to business. So much so that it gave all of us a spring in our step and belief that we will see a strong recovery. Jeremy Gruzewski Director & Head of Agency
Our office has seen a dramatic increase in Small Business Commissioner applications on disputed COVID-19 rent relief matters. Additionally rent relief requests from tenants has increased since the Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme was extended to the 31/12/20. Concerns of the timing of Retail Leases Amendment Act 2020 coming into immediate effect causing another layer of professional administration within retail leases. Marc Hayden Director & Head of Property Management

The decade
The saying goes that “24 hours is a lon politics”, well what about the last deca it was only 24 hours ago that we were c year 2010?
Looking back or hindsight is a great way recalibrate and celebrate what we have a learned. Too often, we forget to realise h have achieved as individuals within our fa and community – and more importantly l improve.
In late 2007 I started Aston Commercial ( Commercial brand) and we hit the GFC i before a rebound occurred in Commerci early part of the decade.
A retail property in Chapel Street Windso office was located, could be purchased f $650,000. Today, that same property is w average $1,600,000. That’s an average c $100,000 per annum or 15.40% per ann reflective of the Commercial Property tre overall, but is an insight of “markets withi
The median house price in Melbourne w 2010 and in 2020 it is $855,000 and tipp $1,000,000 in 2 years. Again, this reflect of 6% per annum over the decade.
There are some other wonderful events t over the decade:
• Australia had its first female Prime Min Gillard after a Leadership spill. • Australia had 4 Prime Ministers. • Richmond Football Club won its first A in 37 years (I am biased being a RFC s • Barack Obama won a second term an got voted in as US President. • Boris Johnson is voted in as Prime Min • The Queen celebrated 60 years on th

• Prince William and Catherine Middleton marry in 2011. • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle marry in 2018. • A soccer team of 13 is rescued from the Tham Luang cave in Thailand. • Bob Hawke and Gough Whitlam pass away. • The first iPad was launched by Apple. • Gangnam Style was a very popular dance. • Planking was cool – but not for me. • Ice Bucket Challenge raised awareness for MND (ALS) – and yes I did it! • Total eclipse happened in 2017. • I celebrate my 50th • COVID-19 pandemic hits us in 2020. So, technically another decade has begun, and the COVID-19 Pandemic is centre stage. Just like the GFC of 2008, and other major world events, we are never ceased to be shocked. These events sharpen our resolve and life lessons even though we are not truly aware of what they are at the time. However, one thing that I have found never changes is the value of Human Emotion. We control our own attitude and whilst I am being bombarded by an insurmountable amount of media, I have noticed more “good news” stories, which assist in health and well-being. For me, it’s about being selective and choosing what I want to watch to contribute to my current positivity and clear thinking amidst the turmoil. The Human Connection is stronger than ever and for me, it’s about valuing Time over the next decade in what is certainly going to be another surprise of unexpected events. See you all in 2030…with what I imagine will be another list of interesting occurrences and personal life lessons.
