For Walter, real estate is all about the ongoing relationships he forms with his clients. “I’m very loyal by nature, so I really go all out to give every assistance possible to all my clients.” Its an approach that’s served him well in his 30 plus years in the business and one he continues to pursue each and every day. Living in Lower Plenty and working throughout Banyule, Diamond Valley and Nillumbik, Walter has always believed that these are idyllic neighbourhoods in which to live and work. “It’s quiet, peaceful and it’s safe.” says Walter. “You have so many facilities conveniently close, but ultimately it’s the people who make the area great. I’m involved in the Viewbank Tennis Club and we share a great sense of community.”
