Darren Askew

With a career approaching four decades in the livestock and real estate industries, Darren Askew brings a wealth of knowledge, deep-rooted connections, and an unwavering work ethic to every transaction.

Darren’s journey began at just 16 years of age in the Benalla region, a district he proudly calls home once again. Over the years, his career has taken him across North Queensland, Gippsland, and ultimately back to the North East of Victoria where he has been based for the past 15 years.

Darren has operated under the same livestock agency banner for more than 30 years, a business that has evolved through several ownership changes yet remained grounded in the same commitment to service and results. For over a decade, he has also worked in conjunction with real estate firms, helping clients across regional Victoria achieve outstanding outcomes.

In January 2025, Darren joined Ray White Rural Victoria as a licensed contractor, a move that strategically aligns his decades of experience with the scale and prestige of Australia’s leading real estate brand. Continuing to run his livestock agency alongside, this partnership brings together the best of both worlds, local knowledge and national reach.

Darren understands that in both livestock and property, relationships matter. His extensive network, built over 40 years, continues to drive strong results, from selling country lifestyle properties to larger-scale agricultural holdings. He is already achieving excellent outcomes for clients and has a pipeline of significant rural properties coming to market in the spring.

With a reputation for confidentiality, professionalism, and simply getting the job done, Darren Askew is a trusted advisor for those navigating the transition from farm to next chapter.
