Julian Hasemer is one of Sydney’s most respected figures in prestige residential and project sales, with over 28 years of experience operating at the highest level of the Eastern Suburbs market. He founded 1st City in 1998 and, 17 years ago, partnered with Brad Caldwell-Eyles to grow the business into a fully integrated real estate group spanning residential sales, high-end project marketing, commercial sales and property management, with offices in Double Bay and Rose Bay.

Julian is widely recognised for his ability to advise with clarity, read markets early and deliver results across both ultra-luxury residential transactions and complex development projects. His career is marked by record-setting outcomes, including apartment sale records of $25.1 million in Darling Point, $20.2 million in Rose Bay and $24.95 million in Double Bay, alongside multiple suburb and building benchmarks. These results reflect a disciplined approach to negotiation and the trust placed in him by long-standing clients who value discretion, preparation and sound commercial judgement.

Through 1st City projects, Julian plays a central role in advising on and guiding premium developments from “dirt to keys.” Working closely with developers, architects and consultants from the earliest stages, he contributes strategic insight that informs planning, positioning and sales execution—adapting strategies as projects evolve to protect value and maximise gross realisation through to final settlement.

Julian’s philosophy is grounded in selectivity, long-term relationships and accountability. He is known for approaching every transaction and project with the same care and commercial discipline as if it were his own capital at stake—an approach that has underpinned consistent growth, a deeply referral-driven client base, and a reputation that continues to position 1st City among the top tier of agencies in Sydney’s luxury real estate market.
