The Start of Something New

We’re not just agents, negotiators, marketeers, advisors and managers in real estate. We’re family. And that’s why we take each interaction personal. We’re classic, not conservative. Fond of traditions, but never traditional. We respect change, and with every transaction, respectfully change the industry’s reputation. Because to us, it’s important to create value for all sides of the sold sign. Let’s begin with yours.

The Curve That Got Us Ahead

Our area of expertise? Understanding property in WA. Because whether it comes to residential, rural, or homes that sit somewhere in between, it’s about connecting the dots — no matter how remote. Because there are many ways to market a listing. And if our results are anything to go by, going above and beyond expectations can only be achieved by listening.

RESIDENTIAL

Proactive, responsive and resourceful — for those used to that inner-city convenience in every aspect of the transaction.

39 Australind Road, Leschenault SOLD via private treaty for $815,000

25 Parkfield Street, Bunbury SOLD via private treaty $840,00

3 Cross Street, Bunbury

SOLD via private treaty for $660,000

LIFESTYLE

It’s farm life without the 5am alarm clock. The success of these sales can be attributed to us being on it, at all times. Even if that’s digitally.

891 Anketell Road, Oakford SOLD via private treaty for $1,080,000

99 Dixon Avenue, Wokalup SOLD via private treaty for $880,000

28 Watkins Road, Gelorup SOLD via private treaty for $960,000

RURAL

With experience as extensive as the grounds we cover, these deals are testament to our point of difference. Plus: they paint a pretty picture.

Margaret River Venison Farm, Margaret Farm SOLD via expression of interest for $5,750,000

155 Recreation Road, Dardanup SOLD via expression of interest for $2,300,000

70 Oldham Road, Mornington SOLD via private treaty for $1,200,000

More Than Meets The Eye

Our approach to marketing property is different to market standards. And that’s because our ambition to create change reaches further than the geographic areas we’re servicing. With emotive photography, cinematic videography, and an elevated tone of voice, we’re redefining expectations, consistently. And if our track record is anything to go by, that’s the key factor to a successful strategy.

PHOTOGRAPHY

With over two decades in the photography industry prior to making the change to real estate, we’re able to capture not just your property’s best angles in high definition, but advise on perfect composition and styling.

VIDEOGRAPHY

From vast drone shots of the land you call yours, to detailed scenes that capture the life lived inside — our property videos are emotive presentations of each residence we film. Scripted to be personal yet professional, and tick all the right boxes.

DIGITAL

Print definitely isn’t dead when it comes to property marketing. But digital is an avenue of opportunity that’s all too often overseen. By creating tailored campaigns that are pinpointing prospective buyers, we’re able to maximise exposure and leave a footprint many come to follow.

TONE OF VOICE

Confident, creative and direct, we’re not shying away from saying it how it is. It’s an honest style of communication inherent to our family and appreciated by those we get to work with.

MEDIA EXPOSURE

By leveraging our experience and expertise, we’ve established a media presence that sees us as reliable sources of market insight in the local residential and rural markets. Tune in for more.

The Company Family We Keep

BEN LLOYD-SMITH FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

IN PROGRESS

Ben is fond of change. Sure, doing things differently takes confidence and trust — and a track record of risks rewarded. Which is exactly what Ben’s established since his first foray into real estate in 2016. Specialising in the rural and lifestyle sector, he applies the same level of attention and creativity to market not just the property, but the opportunity within. Driven to enhance the experience for both sides of the sold sign, Ben understands his role and how to add value. Because bright smiles go a long way, and the extra mile is always right there when dealing with hectares of land. It’s Ben’s integrity, dedication and ability to remain calm even when all elements are in motion, that make his firm handshake steady, ready to shake yours.

IN PERSON

A creative at his core, Ben isn’t your suit and tie agent. With a trained eye for photography, he’s all about capturing the perfect angles wherever he goes. But if you asked him about his favourite place, the answer is home. A place of rest and recovery — whether that’s with a crime drama or over dinner with friends. Because the company you keep is everything and working alongside those who know him since day dot makes each success shared, a success quadrupled.

DANIEL LLOYD-SMITH FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

IN PROGRESS

A lot can happen in seven years. And looking at Daniel’s track record since he joined real estate in 2014, progress spells his name. Ambitious to elevate an entire industry to be on par with the innovative standard it transacts, Daniel walks the walk — R.M.’s or rubber boots none the difference. But here’s what makes it: Daniel knows that it takes great respect and even greater trust to place home in the hands of a semi-stranger. But with the unconditional support only a family can provide, first encounters turn into genuine friendships, and sales to sold. Dedicated. Personable. Reliable. By ensuring that expectations align at the dotted line, Daniel redefines what it means to be on the same page. First of all, right here.

IN PERSON

Daniel never set out to be a real estate professional. Which explains why he sees his challenge in marketing more than four walls, but selling stories for a living. Speaking of narratives, sharing this one with his family — fiancé Mel and dog Kev included — is probably as good as it gets. Daniel knows, the key to success lies in trusting the process. And so, when change happens his way, he takes it at face value; seeing eye-to-eye with opportunity is much easier that way, anyway.

STEVE LLOYD-SMITH FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

IN PROGRESS

Steve’s area of expertise? Quite literally, the road less travelled. Specialising in rural real estate for the last seven years, Steve is applying his photography and marketing background to an industry thirsty for change. Because standard practice is the root of complacency, and Steve has too much energy for that. Instead, he creates synergy with his family to achieve results that speak for themselves. Driven to do right by the properties he represents, and the value that reflects, Steve’s resourceful and most importantly, responsive. So, when Steve says his word is his bond, his track record is testament to the relationships he builds. Honest. Consistent. Efficient. Steve’s a giver, not a taker — and his currency of choice is undivided attention. Eye to eye with opportunity, but all Steve sees is happy sellers, happy vendors, happy days.

IN PERSON

It takes great courage, commitment and confidence to change careers after three decades of success. But as an avid cycler, Steve is used to shifting gears constantly. And so, he knows that many roads lead to Rome home, but with his family always by Steve’s side, the ride is twice the reward. Because sure, transition is uncomfortable, but Steve’s never been fond of comfort zones — except when it comes to finding yours. Speaking of, shall we?

STEPH LLOYD-SMITH FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

IN PROGRESS

Some things in life come naturally. For Steph, that’s keeping an eye on the details. Well-versed in all things admin, she brings structure into the everyday. And when your ambition is to change an entire industry, preparation is the mother of all success — quite literally. Equal parts nurturer to the team and licensed negotiator to her clients, Steph turns common ground into lasting connections. Attentive. Inquisitive. Communicative. In other words; she’s a people person. Forever adapting to improve the experience of those she engages with, Steph thrives by reading between the lines then filling in the blanks. Because creativity and flexibility go hand in hand, and as Steve’s right hand for the last thirty years, Steph’s got opportunity in the palm of hers.

IN PERSON

For Steph, it’s all about the small moments inbetween the big ones. The family dinners around the kitchen table. The games of Finska in the backyard. The cocktails sipped in the sun. Because home is where life happens. And if you asked her about the highlights thus far, it’s sharing the crazy ride that is real estate with her favourite people — and naming Zephyr, of course. See, it’s Steph’s curiosity to learn about the stories of those she interacts with, that adds nuance to her own.

Take Their Word for It

SUE DALY

This was a very significant step for me and I really appreciated your honesty, friendliness and expertise making it an almost painless process. You were always supportive and professional, helping me through all the necessary stages of this sale. The added bonus of your skills as professional photographers helped to show my farm at its best providing a great outcome.

I have no hesitation in recommending you and your team to anyone looking to sell their property.

"Very Happy Farm Sellers."

PETER P

Steve, Ben and Daniel initially (and later Stephanie) came to the farm where they listened attentively to what we had to say and were keen to acquaint themselves with the property. They saw not only its value as a working farm but also its natural beauty. We feel they captured this in their subsequent presentation of it for sale. The four of them worked well as a team. They were all involved at different times and each brought something different to the process. They were professional, always well presented, punctual, good humoured and proactive. Steve kept us up-to-date with progress the whole way through and was always readily available to answer any of our queries. We could not be happier with their management of the sale of our farm and we thoroughly recommend the team to anyone who wishes as stress-free as possible a sale of their property.

"Thank you, Steve, Ben & Daniel for your service in the recent sale of my farm."
