Real estate has always felt like a natural fit. Jason is many things: a lifelong learner, fully licensed estate agent, an associate of the Real Estate Institute of Australia, accredited REIV auctioneer and two-term chairperson of REIV Geelong, dad to two, and a keen tennis player.

As Managing Director of Barnett Real Estate, Jason’s a businessman with a vision. He leads a dedicated team of professionals who share his belief that real estate is more about people than property, that good reputations and referrals are earned through solid, hard work and doing the right thing by people, whether they’re selling or buying.

During 20 years working in Geelong’s real estate market, Jason has worked with hundreds of commercial and residential sellers, buyers, property owners and tenants from across the Geelong and Surf Coast region.

“Each has their own story, their own reasons for selling or buying, for where they live or want to live,” says Jason. “Real estate is a serious business. We don’t take it lightly. Our job as agents is to add value to the process and get each of our clients to the next chapter in their story, with the best possible outcome.”

Jason believes that adding value is about the nuts and bolts of sound, realistic advice: guiding clients on how to prepare their property for presentation and helping them choose the right method of sale. It’s about explaining the pitfalls and the possibilities with honesty, so people can make informed decisions that work best for them.
