Joel Fredman
Director & Auctioneer
Committed to achieving outstanding outcomes for all of his clients, Director and Auctioneer Joel Fredman founded Fredman in 2019 with a desire to create a bespoke, prestige brokerage firm that did not focus on high-volume transactions, but instead offered a fully personalised, first-class service tailored to suit the individual needs of an exclusive clientele in Melbourne.
With unwavering values of trust, authenticity, excellence of service and exceptional results, Joel throws himself into each and every stage of his clients’ property journeys. From the strategic marketing of a home to a successful outcome and beyond, he enjoys every step; fully appreciating the many incredible opportunities that could stem from the life-long relationships he makes along the way.
Superior negotiation skills and an appetite to achieve the best possible price for his vendors are qualities that have seen Joel set genuine records for prices achieved in Brighton’s Golden Mile, Elwood & Sandringham – some of which were accomplished during some very challenging times such as Melbourne’s Covid lockdowns.
Focused on continuing to build a luxury brand helmed by a highly capable team of professionals, Joel has his sights set on being the go-to firm when it comes to the sale of high-end real estate throughout Melbourne’s premier localities including Toorak, Albert Park and the Mornington Peninsula – all with a bespoke approach that remains unrivalled within the industry.
A champion of mental health support and well-being, Joel is a regular contributor to Beyond Blue and other like-minded organisations.
