Established in 2012, Chesters Real Estate has long focussed on bringing some of the best local & international tenants to South East Queensland with a focus on the CBD, James Street and other highly coveted near city locations.
Chesters longstanding & trusted relationships with both owners and developers has recently prompted a logical expansion into sales with one of Brisbane’s most established and experienced selling agents, Tim Jones, joining to work alongside Michael & Greer.
As an independent commercial agency, Chester’s has always focussed on quality and have the benefit of more than 40 years of combined experience between Michael, Greer & Tim across near city markets.
“Our decision to run with Chesters for the retail campaign at The Calile was vindicated many times over. We were initially tempted to run with one of the larger agencies but quickly learned that Greer and Michael would deliver a more bespoke response, tailored to our needs. The campaign was extremely successful, evidenced by the calibre of retail and F&B tenants joining our Centre. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”
