A local resident all his life, Ashley Croall joined Darren Jones Real Estate as a 23 year-old in 1997. Mentored by company founder Darren Jones and progressing over time to a become a director of the company, Ashley is truly passionate about guiding people to their desired outcome and unique objectives. A consummate professional who can be trusted with your most valuable asset, his ultimate reward is knowing that he has helped someone exceed their real estate goals. This, along with his in-depth industry insights and patient, amiable personality, has earned him an enviable client base built on repeat business and referrals. He enjoys the hands-on approach with his clients ensuring every aspect of the sales transaction happens effortlessly for all parties. Which is why most Saturdays you will find Ashley conducting auctions for Darren Jones Real Estate or on the door at any number of open houses. A warm and engaging auctioneer. Ashley’s ability to draw even the most reluctant bidders along with him produces results that will, more times than not, exceed vendors expectations. Outside of work, Ashley enjoys family time with his wife Dannyell and two high energy kids, Mason and Maya, as well as waterskiing, motorbike riding and watching the football.

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.”
