Connecting People
With Property
By focusing 100% on rural property we gain specialist, inside and up-to-date knowledge.
Meares & Associates are a specialist rural and lifestyle property marketing agency who understand the commercial requirements of the primary producer, the high net worth individual, the corporate and the institutional investor, and are equipped to transact both rural and lifestyle property or strategic agribusiness investments, on their behalf.
We welcome your interest and our dedicated team of rural specialists look forward to being of service to you.
I have long held a passion for the Australian countryside and the importance of primary production to the Australian economy. 20 years ago, in 1996, I decided to create a specialised business to service the rural property and agribusiness markets.
At Meares & Associates we focus 100% on rural property or agribusiness related products, 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 our service to our clients. For example we strive to introduce a new marketing initiative every year.
A key aspect of this service is our strength in marketing. We endeavor to create the most impacting, effective and sincere marketing campaigns to ensure the experience of buying and selling is enjoyable and memorable for all.
We have been involved in everything from the sale of some of Australia’s most significant outback pastoral holdings and leading farms in the inner and more intensive agricultural areas, to boutique wineries, stud farms and lifestyle ‘tree changes’.
We take pride in the fact that the vast majority of our business is either through referral or repeat business. Our up to date and well maintained data base 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 or agribusiness matters
Teamwork – we work in tandem with our clients and closely within our own organization
Performance- we focus on results that ensure best possible outcomes
Innovation and creativity – we are aware of the need to keep to the forefront with marketing initiatives
Marketing – we create successful tailor made campaigns using both traditional media and more frequently ‘state of the art’ didgtal technologies.
Through this website, we have successfully marketed many of Australia’s leading rural properties. In doing so 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. Our dedicated team of rural marketing specialists look forward to being of service to you.
