A property management professional for almost a decade including 7 years with the Buxton Real Estate Group, Jaryd Bray is more than a “people person”. His ability to establish connections and maintain them is at the heart of his approach. Educated at Melbourne Grammar, with a degree from the University of Melbourne, and an early career in customer service with the Melbourne Cricket Club, Jaryd is a consummate Melbournian whose knowledge of the local and city-wide markets adds real value to the leasing process.

Both thorough and intuitive, Jaryd believes the best way to qualify a prospective renter is to apply a fine balance of proven facts and personal judgement. His own good judgement is just the start, Jaryd is meticulous in reference checking and research – never concluding until he has a clear and complete picture of the potential renter. It's an approach that brings success to all parties; as his initial decisions are borne out by the written and anecdotal information he uncovers.

But it's not just about selecting the most appropriate renter. Jaryd is skilled in managing all personalities and interests on both sides of a lease, Jaryd's approach is founded in a respect for both his clients' and renters' interests. Committed to open and easy communication, Jaryd says ‘transparency is the key to a successful relationship’, and he is always prepared to stand by his recommendations - either for, or against, a particular renter.

Originally drawn to work at the MCC by a love of sport, Jaryd remains highly active - with a love for playing tennis spilling over into a sideline passion for spectating sport of all types, and walking his beloved Schnauzer on the weekends. Brought up in the country (in the beautiful Macedon Ranges), Jaryd has personal experience of the value of 'home' and of the importance of helping renters find their place in the world. Always prepared to go the extra mile for both renters and owners, he ultimately unlocks the key to a great relationship.
