Alex and the team are tireless in their efforts to achieve desired sales results for their clients, with a great deal of success.

It is with this commitment to real estate results coupled with a focus on service delivered with integrity that Alex leads the hand-picked team of sales, property management, and support staff.

Joe Langley, Joe Langley Real Estate
Finding the right property is like landing a dream job and using it to inspire others to live their dream, too. This is something director Joe Langley of Joe Langley Real Estate knows all too well. He is the intellect behind all things buying and selling in one of Noosa’s most sought-after gated communities – Noosa Springs. Joe is more than just your go-to when it comes to finding an agent in the area, he is also a trusted neighbour and a pivotal part of the community – making him an exception to the rule. Most agents will sell wherever they can, whereas Joe specialises only in Noosa Springs.
Joe was a sales professional in his early 20s and scored his real estate licence in Sydney at just 26. But as a family man at heart, he decided to take a step back and enjoy Saturdays with his kids. It wasn’t until he moved to Noosa Springs that he decided to kickstart his career again and is now joined by his daughter, Deb Langley, making for the ultimate dream team.
Since 1999, Joe has sold and purchased four homes for himself in Noosa Springs alone and he wouldn’t want to live anywhere else – needless to say, you can rest easy knowing you’re in the very best hands when it comes to finding or selling a property in this sought-after community.
Joe says, “Noosa Springs caters for all people. It has spectacular grounds and amazing facilities, like the world-class 18-hole golf course, as well as stunning restaurants, bars, spa services, and swimming pools.” Amazingly, the gated community has never experienced a break-in since it first opened in 1999!
This real estate expert sold ten houses in the last quarter of 2021 and he’s not intending on slowing down anytime soon – especially with the average age of buyers changing greatly. These days, Noosa Springs has seen more and more young families moving in and calling the community, home.
Finding the perfect place to call home can feel like a game of hide-and-seek. But, if you’re ready, Joe Langley and his family-run business are here to help you find it.

Deb Langley, Joe Langley Real Estate
Deb Langley is the property manager at Joe Langley Real Estate a.k.a an expert at making your home a little sweeter. Deb joined forces with her father, Joe, to enter the world of real estate and property – now the duo strives to be the most respected in the industry, rather than the biggest.
Following in the footsteps of her father, Deb specialises not only in Noosa Springs but also Noosa Heads and surrounding areas. As a property manager, Deb follows a philosophy to care for and maintain other properties as if they were her own. Usually, she spends her working days checking in on rental properties, landlords, and coordinating the maintenance team.
“The most rewarding part of the job is having a client list that develops into a friend and loyalty list,” says Deb. She has even made her first sale – achieving the highest selling price for Noosa Springs since it opened in 1999. The $4.65 million sale is just one of the benefits that stems from developing strong relationships with clients.
Deb is “over the moon” with her career achievements and is looking forward to higher growth in 2022. “I’d like to thank Joe for being a great dad, friend, and mentor – and of course mum for putting up with us endlessly talking about work,” says Deb.
When home is the heart of your business, you need a team that’s passionate about real estate. Deb understands that your home is your castle, and you can let her take care of the rest. If you are seeking a more user-friendly, client-focused real estate experience, give Deb a call and catch a feel for a business that values relationships and loyalty over salesmanship.
