Our Team | Major Sales

Meet Chris Meares

I have long held a passion for the Australian countryside and twelve years ago, I decided to create a specialised business to service the rural property market.

At Meares & Associates, we focus 100% on rural property and we aim to consistently perform beyond our clients’ expectations. We are continually reviewing and refining all aspects of our operation to enhance the quality of service to our clients.

A key aspect of this service is our strength in marketing. We endeavour to create the most impactful, effective and sincere marketing campaigns to ensure the experience of buying or selling is enjoyable and memorable.

We have been involved in everything from the sale of 10 million acre outback sheep stations and rural coastal farms to boutique wineries and lifestyle ‘treechanges’. We take pride in the fact that the vast majority of our business is either through referral or repeat business. Our well-honed database is a valuable resource for building business for our clients and ourselves.

Our business is founded on:

• Client Focus – we regard our client relationships as paramount
• Reliability – you can count on our expert advice in all rural matters
• Teamwork – we work in tandem with clients and closely within our own organisation
• Performance – we focus on results that ensure best possible outcomes
• Marketing – we create successful campaigns using traditional media and technology

Through this website, we have successfully marketed hundreds of properties and we have received excellent feedback on its effectiveness in providing timely and accurate information. Yet there is no substitute for face-to-face relationships.

Close attention to all details of our clients’ needs and fully understanding the motivation for their sale or purchase means that we can produce positive outcomes to perfectly match their goals.

We welcome your interest and our dedicated team of rural specialists look forward to being of service to you.
