Little did they know that their enthusiasm and commitment to service would create a company that would set the standard for the industry to follow. Gibbs Gillespie is a dynamic, multi office team with a hard earned reputation for achieving the highest price in the marketplace. But we’ve never rested on our laurels and continue to introduce new ideas and innovative practices. Innovations such as Be First, our buyer and tenant personalised matching system; Just Listed, a high quality, colour, property magazine produced monthly; and professional photography, floorplans and video tours, have all been adopted by many others in an endeavour to emulate the success of Gibbs Gillespie. Gibbs Gillespie aims to be the very best of the best. We strive to shine in every area of our business, continually reinventing ourselves as we find better ways to achieve our clients' goals. We are a learning organisation. We regularly review our structure, systems and processes, asking ourselves: How can we improve our service to our clients?

BE AWARE - they put 14% fees on the contract so even if you have a break up clause, you have to pay their management fees for the whole duration of the contract. We negotiated to exclude that, so I suggest you review your contract carefully
