Russell Collett is a well-respected, career-veteran of the WA Industry, enjoying well over thirty years continuous experience working in Real Estate.
Russell's a proven multi-Award-winning performer across many Real Estate roles including his early days as a Property Manager, as a leading Sales Representative, and as one of this States most accomplished consultant Auctioneers - having successfully conducted Property Auctions in the many hundreds.
"Having personal experience dealing across every aspect of Real Estate, spanning four decades now, provides our Clients the assurance and comfort they are in safe, reliable hands and that they are dealing with professionals who know every facet of this business" added Russell.
"When I started out with Ockerby's Claremont in 1984, Multi-Listing's Service, the weekly Homebuyer magazine, Photographs on window-cards, and posting Offers and Counter-Offers back-and-forth through the Post was Industry Practice. We door-knocked handing out complimentary fuse wires. Communication was via two-way radio under the seat of your car and Home Opens were quite usually for two hours. There were no Fax machines, no mobile phones, and Sales research was done using Tax Maps, or quizzing the opposition on a Friday at the Local" Russell laughed, before adding "Today it's about digital exposure, high-end photography, drones, and the Internet. Prospective purchasers can readily research on-line from the comfort of their own Lounge Room whilst enjoying a myriad of Housing/Renovation shows on TV that stimulate the interest".
"The only aspect that hasn't changed, from our perspective, is to ensure we as a team continue to deliver personalised, outstanding Customer Service" Russell observed before adding "You need to love what you do, to enjoy it for this many years, and the fact that we are forever meeting new clients with ever-changing requirements keeps us fresh, motivated and always striving to develop our skills and knowledge even further".
Russell with wife Kathy opened their own Agency in Cantonment Street Fremantle in 1999 before purchasing their current premises at 5 Rockingham Road, Hamilton Hill in 2004.
