Simon Cookson

Simon Cookson is a real estate veteran with energy to burn. A leading light in the area for his myriad philanthropic endeavours, Simon is also an experienced mentor to up and coming agents. Firmly believing that real estate is a lifestyle rather than a job, his successful career in an often maligned industry, has been forged from resilience, honest self-assessment, and 100% commitment to every transaction.

A third generation Essendon local, Simon also feels it incumbent on himself to act with integrity out of historical respect for his parents and grandparents. Widely respected for his uncompromising commitment to a personal code of conduct and ethics, Simon does not shy away from delivering his clients the unvarnished truth.

Simon is a dynamic and assured auctioneer, with outstanding negotiating skills and expansive local market experience to back up his strategic advice.

Working continuously in the area since 1985, Simon is right across the importance of balance, committing to annual holidays overseas with his marvelously supportive wife, Roma, and regular weekend getaways to Anglesea with his adult children and their partners.

Along with tireless local and overseas charity work for many years, Simon recently conceived and established the Strathmore Men’s Shed; a hugely important initiative for both the area’s men and the community at large and one Simon should be extremely proud to have founded.
