Adrian Butera

As Compton Green’s leader and visionary, Adrian steers the ship with energy and passion, inspiring everyone to think differently.

Real estate has been Adrian’s passion since 1991. A natural storyteller, he was immediately attracted to the idea of becoming an auctioneer. As with everything he undertakes, he took to it with gusto.

Adrian won the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) Victorian Novice Auctioneers Competition and after only a couple of years auctioneering, he went on to win multiple Victorian titles including the REIV Senior Auctioneers Award four times. He has also reached the Final three times in the Australasian Championships. Adrian has been teaching and mentoring auctioneers since 1996. His auctioneering skills are well-renowned across the country and remains in high demand in the inner west of Melbourne. Adrian has been a member of the REIV’s Auction Chapter, founded the Young Agents Chapter and was Director of the REIV. 

Adrian’s auctioneering has allowed him to represent many community and charitable organisations, non more famous than the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal House Auction which Adrian has done 12 times over the last 25 years

Adrian loves making connections with people–and telling the occasional story or two! “This business is all about people. Connecting with them, understanding them. Being honest and transparent with them. We are interacting with people as they make the biggest financial decision of their lives. It’s important to be empathetic and authentic,” he said.

He is also passionate about making connections, and a difference, within the community. Adrian has been a Committee Member of the Hobsons Bay Community Fund since 2013, a local council body which supports community groups and organisations operating in the Hobsons Bay municipality. He is also past President of the Rotary Club of Williamstown.
