JLL snag a couple of CBRE Rural Property Agents

JLL has expanded its agribusiness division with two appointments, which will boost its services to include rural property sales, valuations and transactions.

Geoff Warriner and Chris Holgar are joining from CBRE where they have a combined 15 years’ experience in transacting rural property across Northern Australia.

JLL’s managing director, advisory and consulting services, John Talbot said both are industry leaders in central and northern Queensland, the Northern Territory and across to the Kimberley in Western Australia.

“Jointly they have transacted in excess of $300 million worth of rural property in the last three years including the Iffley / Deverill / Twenty Mile Portfolio (Central Queensland), Legune Station (Northern Territory) and Wollogorang Station (Queensland/Northern Territory).

“The addition of Geoff and Chris marks JLL’s first foray into the rural transactional space following the establishment of a national rural valuation capability about 12 months ago, when we recruited an Adelaide based agribusiness valuation team, led by Will Gurry, who is currently JLL’s National head of agribusiness valuations.

“In a short space of time JLL has established a sizeable presence in rural valuations across South-Eastern Australia with a presence in NSW, Vic, SA and Tas and we have now expanded into rural property sales across Northern Australia from our Brisbane offices.

“We now have a team of over 10 rural valuers across Australia and have just recruited leading valuer, Peter Honnef based in Townsville to work with clients in the north,” Talbot said.
