Employer Bio:
Celebrating nearly three decades in business, Gartland is one of Geelong’s most respected names in property, known for its professionalism, deep local expertise, and a deliberately high-standard approach across residential, commercial and project property. This is a business that blends strong legacy with modern capability, investing in systems, training and team structure to ensure people enjoy long, sustainable careers, not short bursts of burnout.
With a strong market presence and a reputation for quality, Gartland offers a platform that allows capable operators to do their best work with the right backing around them. It is a business that understands performance, but values how that performance is built.
The Job:
Gartland is seeking an experienced Residential Sales Agent to join its high-performing and well-supported residential team. This is a role for someone who wants to build genuine momentum in the market, not just transact from listing to settlement and repeat the cycle without support. You will take ownership of the full sales process across the Greater Geelong region, from appraisals and campaign strategy through to buyer management, negotiation, contract oversight, settlement and handover.
You will spend your days engaging with sellers and buyers, conducting inspections and open homes, fielding enquiries, nurturing leads and guiding clients through one of the most commercially and emotionally significant decisions they will make. The role is fast-paced and varied, but importantly, you will not be doing it in isolation.
One of Gartland’s strongest points is the calibre of support around its agents, including a trusted brand, strong internal collaboration, smart systems and direct access to Affiliate Studios, the in-house digital marketing team that helps elevate listing visibility, agent profile and campaign quality in a highly competitive market.
The result is a role that allows you to focus on relationship-building, commercial outcomes and growing your presence in the market, rather than being weighed down by unnecessary friction or internal noise.
Why You Should Apply:
Residential sales will always demand energy, resilience and consistency, but Gartland offers an environment where ambition is supported by structure, brand strength and genuine internal backing. This is not an ego-heavy setup defined by territory tension, unnecessary politics or a sink-or-swim mentality. It is a role for someone who wants to operate seriously, build a strong local profile and align with a business that values both performance and professionalism.
For the right person, there is also a clear long-term pathway to business partnership.
Culture Snapshot:
The culture at Gartland is respectful, collegiate and grounded in mutual trust. People are encouraged to take ownership of their results, think strategically and build their careers with intent, but without the kind of internal rivalry that can make strong environments feel unnecessarily hard work.
There is professionalism, pace and accountability, but also humour, support and a clear sense that people are working with each other, not against each other.
Benefits On Offer:
Along with being part of one of Geelong’s most respected property businesses, benefits include a generous performance-driven commission structure without unnecessary overheads or additional network fees, exclusive access to Affiliate Studios to strengthen both campaign quality and personal brand presence, workplace wellbeing initiatives including fresh weekly fruit, mental health leave and complimentary Upstate Studios classes, meaningful community involvement across the region, and long-term career development with partnership potential for the right person.
Skills Required:
To succeed in this role, you will bring confidence in residential sales, strong relationship management capability and the commercial drive to build momentum in a competitive market.
You will also require:
* At least 12 months’ experience in residential real estate
* A current Agent’s Representative Certificate or Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice
* Strong written and verbal communication skills
* A sound understanding of residential property trends
* Proven ability to build relationships, manage client expectations and navigate complex sales processes
* Resilience, initiative and the ability to work independently and confidently
* Excellent organisation, attention to detail and a genuine desire to build a long-term career in the industry
* Availability for Saturday work, with some evening flexibility required for inspections and client meetings
