BRUCE BAVIN JOINS FORCES WITH BLUE RIBBON BALLARAT BLUE Ribbon Ballarat's owner/operators, Jamie and Simone Butterworth, together with Daylesford identity and licensed estate agent Bruce Bavin, have joined forces to service the real estate needs of the Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and surrounding communities. Blue Ribbon Ballarat is a respected “boutique” agency with a prominent state-of-the-art office in Doveton Street North, and has been consistently ranked as one of the area's top five agencies. The business is positioned and committed to ensure the highest level of customer service and to providing a memorable and much referred selling or buying experience. Their ground-breaking policy of free advertising and free marketing is a huge point of difference and a break from traditional policies where many real estate agents insist that their clients cover all of the everincreasing costs of the essential internet and media advertising plus the outlays for the sales board, brochures, booklets, floor plans and photography to market the property and then have to pay them a commission. The focus of Blue Ribbon Ballarat is on offering all clients the same opportunity to sell without the fear of being left with possibly thousands of dollars of advertising bills at the end. Their innovative system allows for the same high level of promotion for all clients, designed to achieve the premium result from the premium buyer and not based upon what the seller can afford or just how much the property may be worth. Bruce Bavin will represent Blue Ribbon in and around the Hepburn Shire as a senior, highly experienced and qualified sales specialist. He believes that with the continuing evolution and changes in the real estate industry plus the shift in buyer demographics together with the rapidly increasing values and demand from all over Australia and overseas, there is a viable place and need for an alternative, very professional and additional specialist agency in town. Bruce began his memorable real estate career over 40 years ago in Melbourne and along the way has owned six of his own companies together with consulting to some of the industry's best and most successful estate agents. Three of these offices were in and around Daylesford, starting some 25 years ago. Bruce went on to head up one of the biggest and busiest agencies in the area. Apart from running two local farms, he also became heavily involved in community services. He also opened the first specialised holiday property management company. On a more personal level, when not working, Bruce can be found spending quality time with his seven much-loved grandchildren, enjoying the local roads and scenery on his motorcycle tourer, playing golf, doing community service or volunteering at his local footy club.
