CBRE is launching a new specialised NSW high-end residential valuations division, with plans in place for a national expansion.
Already one of Australia’s largest providers of residential and commercial valuations, CBRE’s new specialist prestige residential valuations team will be led by Bader Naaman.
The team will build on services CBRE has already been providing in the $5 million-plus price range for both mortgage providers and private clients, across mortgage valuations, valuations for tax purposes, financial reporting and pre-purchase or pre-sale advice.
The new team will comprehensive valuations and bespoke guidance to owners, buyers, financial institutions, developers, and legal practitioners.
“While we were already servicing the prestige market, the establishment of a dedicated NSW division will allow us to grow our high-end market share and better service our clients, drawing on a team of highly skilled professionals,” said Kat Hale, Australian head of residential valuations at CBRE.
“We have the knowledge, skills and systems to be a strong competitor in this sector and view the NSW launch as a platform for national expansion.”
Naaman will bring more than 15 years of valuations experience to the new division, having focused on Sydney’s prestige and luxury residential market since joining CBRE in 2012.
Other senior team members will include lead Sydney prestige valuer, Nathan Hasham, who has been working in the prestige market for over 20 years, with a strong focus on Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
Just last week, CBRE expanded its focus on the Sydney CBD and metropolitan office market with the appointment of a new senior director in Joe Bolster.
