Adrian O. Jones
Chairman
A lifetime in real estate has enabled Adrian to practise in all aspects of the property industry. As a sworn valuer, licensed estate agent and auctioneer, Adrian has gained a reputation for integrity and experience that few can match.
Starting as a rental clerk in the 1960’s he gained broad experience in property management, valuations, sales and business management. Eventually he became sales director and managing director of one of Melbourne’s largest multi-office agencies.
After several years in a “sea change” running a gourmet retreat with his wife in the Western District, Adrian returned to his core interest, real estate.
Adrian currently holds the position of President at the REIV 2008 – 2009 and is the first person to hold this position a second term after serving as President in the 2006 – 2007 period. Adrian is an REIV accredited Certificate 4 trainer, member of the REIV Board of Directors and is currently the Victorian delegate to and Director of the Real Estate Institute of Australia.
His role as Chairman at Noel Jones Real Estate allows Adrian to take full advantage of his wealth of experience and wide range of business contacts as well as take a keen interest in staff training and development.
In what remains as spare time, he indulges his love of cooking and gardening and enjoying the company of his grandchildren.
