Tom and Natalie’s values include integrity, trust, loyalty, passion, persistence and action. They believe we have two ears and one mouth for a reason and understand that the most successful realtors are those that strive to understand their clients needs not just regurgitate data.
Tom and Natalie are team focused and keep their clients informed and involved every step of the way. Team Cleary like to deal in facts, and promise to communicate what you may need to know, when you need to know it: not just telling you what you want to hear. This way, together you can achieve the best possible result.

Blake completed his real estate qualifications and has been in the industry since 2019. As he is the youngest in the Mitchell clan, he would argue that he has been in the real estate industry since he was born, having been involved in robust real estate debates and discussions. He has proven himself honest, friendly, and professional in the time since joining RE/MAX Southern Stars and his clients love him! He is dogged in following up leads and finds it hard to take ‘no’ for an answer. An example of this is when he had a person who came through a Home Open, who dismissed the property, and Blake persuaded them to have another look… His persistence resulted in a very positive outcome with this person purchasing the property. Would you not want this determination on your side?
When you engage Blake to help you, rest assured that he will work his hardest to achieve a positive outcome for you!
