High-profile Southern Highlands agent Ben Olofsen joins The Agency
The Agency has created a strategic link between the Southern Highlands and Sydney markets with the appointment of Ben Olofsen to the team.
The Southern Highlands has experienced extraordinary price growth over the last five years, mainly due to interest from Sydney buyers looking for a change in lifestyle, investment or holiday home.
National director of sales at The Agency Thomas McGlynn says it was an important step to take.
“Ben Olofsen joining The Agency creates a significant connection between our Sydney and Southern Highlands clients.
"There is enormous interest between these two markets and we can now service this demand,”
“Ben’s impressive track record in the area and his genuine care for his clients, means he is the perfect fit for The Agency and the agent we needed on board.”
The premium market in the Southern Highlands has risen by 76% over the last five years with a median house price of $1 million in the Wingecarribee Shire.
Over the last decade, the property values in the Southern Highlands have increased by 70.4% as of October this year.
Olofsen holds an impressive footprint across the Southern Highlands region and services a diverse range of properties.
For example, on the 1st of this month Ben sold three properties, a $700,000 house in Sutton Forest, a $1.15 million home in Mittagong and a $3.25 million house in Bowral.
Olofsen said he is client focused and people come first.
"Transparency, honesty and my local knowledge allow me to service the Southern Highlands community to the highest standards,” Olofsen says.
“This is not just a transaction for me, it is a commitment to achieving the best possible results for my clients.
“Having grown up in Bowral and now living locally with my family, I am truly passionate about the local community. With my four children I am heavily involved in the local sporting groups and a committee member for the BDCU Children’s Foundation.”
It is this authentic connection to the Southern Highlands that drove Ben Olofsen’s decision to move forward with The Agency.
“When I was approached by The Agency, it was clear that the brand provided me with the perfect platform to provide my clients with the highest level of professionalism and commitment, whilst accessing the databases of the highest performing agents in Sydney,” Ben Olofsen explains.
“The Agency model allows me flexibility to tailor the most effective sales strategies specific to each client’s property and their individual needs.”
