About

Most people meet me at the most consequential moment of their life. This is who turns up.

James Driver — Brighton luxury real estate. Black and white editorial portrait.
Luxury Real Estate · Brighton & Bayside

28 years in sales. Three businesses before real estate. One way of working.

I came to real estate the long way — with experience in both startup businesses raising venture capital to being the head of sales of a publicly listed company in Collins St. That changes how you see real estate and work with your clients. You think like an owner, because you've been one: every dollar of marketing has to earn its place, every decision has to survive scrutiny, and the result is the only measure that matters.

I've made Bayside my whole practice — Brighton above all. Two hundred and three homes and more than $625 million in sales later, the approach hasn't changed: earn the trust, do the work, let the results speak.

I've built my practice around one idea: that you should feel, from the first conversation, that the right person has it in hand — that the noise has been organised into a plan, and nothing is left to chance. It's why my clients tend to become clients for life, and why their friends call before they list.
