Damien

Kennedy

I’m a proud dad who enjoys spending time with my family, staying active, and making the most of life outside of work. I enjoy heading to the gym, playing a social round of golf, following sport, and catching up with friends whenever I get the chance. After many years working in construction and running my own business, I made the move into real estate, where I enjoy meeting new people and being part of their property journey. Outside of work, I’m all about family, good company, staying active, and enjoying the simple things in life.

What are some core values you live by?
My core values are honesty, hard work, reliability and loyalty. I believe in doing what I say I'll do, communicating openly and always be willing to help others when the opportunity presents itself.

How has your career led you to the role you’re in today?
After 22 years in the construction industry and 12 years running my own successful business, I was ready for a new challenge that still allowed me to work with people and property. My passion for real estate actually began much earlier, having bought and sold multiple properties since the age of 21. Combined with my construction background, this has given me a strong understanding of homes, property value, attention to detail and what buyers and sellers are looking for. Moving into real estate was a natural progression, and I now enjoy helping clients achieve their property goals while making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

What’s something only locals know about this area?
One thing locals really appreciate about Ballarat is the lifestyle. It's a fantastic place to raise a family, with an abundance of sporting clubs, quality schools, beautiful parks and walking tracks, along with a thriving café scene. No matter your age or interests, there's always a way to get involved in the community, and that's one of the things I enjoy most about living here.

Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your home’s value and your options before making any decisions.

Typically, we recommend an in-person appraisal so we can assess your property fully. In some cases, a virtual appraisal can provide a helpful initial guide.
