Stuart Derham

Stuart

With a lifetime spent in sales, 15 of them specialising in real estate, Stuart Derham has a breadth of work and life experience that few could match.

His record of achievement speaks volumes about Stuart’s ability to assess the potential of a property, develop a strategic marketing plan and negotiate a sale that delivers on the vendor’s expectations.

This, together with an appetite for hard work and long hours, saw him achieve a record $3.5 million sale of a waterfront home in Valentine in July 2018.

Over the years he has become the trusted “go-to” agent for home owners right across Newcastle from Belmont to Wallsend, Lake Macquarie, the inner-city and eastern suburbs. He approaches every listing, from a $350,000 first home or investor property to a premium multi-million dollar mansion with the same dedication and enthusiasm.

Stuart’s background in business broking and qualifications as a licensed auctioneer enable him to also transact commercial and industrial sales.
His ability to deliver results through all phases of the property market is a bonus for vendors giving them confidence that their home is in safe hands.

A long-time supporter of Kids With Cancer, Stuart is also a contributor to the Richardson & Wrench charity partner, the Starlight Children’s Foundation which aims to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
