Realmark has officially opened its Geraldton office, strengthening its presence across regional Western Australia as one of the state's strongest-performing property markets continues to attract growing buyer and investor interest.
Leading the new office are Jordan James and Ellene Watkins, the duo behind the success of Realmark Karratha, which has become one of Western Australia's most awarded regional real estate businesses.
The move comes at a time when Geraldton is experiencing significant market momentum. According to REIWA, Geraldton's median house price now sits at approximately $583,000, with annual price growth exceeding 29%. Tight rental conditions and sustained demand continue to support confidence across the local property market.
Jordan James, Director and Licensee of Realmark Karratha and Realmark Geraldton, told The Real Estate Conversation the fundamentals driving Geraldton's growth remain compelling. "Geraldton is one of the most exciting regional markets in Western Australia right now. We're seeing strong demand from owner-occupiers, investors and families attracted by the lifestyle, affordability and economic opportunities the region offers. There's genuine confidence in the market and we're excited to bring a fresh level of service and local expertise to the community.The city's growth is being supported by major infrastructure investment, employment opportunities and its growing appeal as a lifestyle destination and FIFO base. Combined with limited housing supply and a highly competitive rental market, these factors continue to place upward pressure on property values."
For Ellene Watkins, Managing Director of Realmark Karratha, the expansion reflects a long-term commitment to regional Western Australia. "Our approach has always been centred on relationships, local knowledge and delivering results that matter to our clients. Geraldton is a community with enormous potential and we're looking forward to helping more people achieve their property goals."
The Geraldton office will provide residential sales and propertymanagement services across the Mid West, including Geraldton, Wandina, Tarcoola Beach, Mount Tarcoola, Mahomets Flats, Sunset Beach, Bluff Point, Beresford, Drummond Cove, Webberton and surrounding areas.
Realmark Founder and Managing Director John Percudani told The Real Estate Conversation the expansion reflects both the strength of the Geraldton market and the capability of the team leading the business.
"Jordan and Ellene have consistently demonstrated what's possible when strong local leadership is backed by innovation, expertise and a genuine commitment to community. Their track record in regional Western Australia has set a benchmark for real estate performance, and Geraldton is a natural next step."
As Geraldton continues to attract new residents, investment and business activity, Realmark Geraldton enters the market with a clear focus: delivering expert local advice, exceptional service and outstanding outcomes for clients across the Mid West.
