Since co-owning Rees Stockdale & Leggo since 1994, and as sole owner after buying out his partner in 2011, Stephen has led by example to establish his team as the sales consultants of choice in Wangaratta and surrounds. Stephen stamped his name in the competitive real estate industry early in his career. Upon qualifying as an auctioneer, he received a prestigious Auctioneers Award in the very same year. Today his individual staff members, the Sales and Property Management Departments, and the office in general are frequent recipients of industry awards due to the exceptional results and professional service excellence Stephen fosters. With a Bachelor of Engineering in Building, Stephen combines integrity and high service standards with a passion for property. He is highly regarded, both locally and in the wider industry, for his extensive industry knowledge, astute understanding of the property market and sharp sales and negotiation skills. While overseeing the smooth running of the various departments and overall operations to ensure optimal levels of client care are maintained, Stephen is hands-on in sales. I love selling and the involvement with vendors, he says. The fact that they turn to me and place their faith in me is a responsibility I enjoy. I also love sharing their joy and gratitude when we have secured a great outcome. Stephen, who lives in the area and always will, spends his leisure time with his wife Carolyn and twin babies Holly and Charli, or my three girls as he fondly refers to them. He loves the outdoors, whether competing in open water swims like the Pier to Pub or camping at Porepunka beside the beautiful Ovens River. He loves touring the King Valley and in keeping with his love of spectacular landscapes, building and architecture overseas travel, with Europe a particular favourite. Stephen Rees loves what he does. He takes the responsibility of being engaged by a client seriously and personally. He possesses a deep understanding of how to sell property to the vendors best advantage and welcomes the opportunity to share his insight with you.
