I began my Real Estate career in 2007 before technology became a major role in the industry. I was given a desk, handed a phone book and told to start finding houses to sell! Back then, we would take our own photos, put up our own signs and deliver our own fliers. After staying loyal and working for the same company for 8 years, I took the leap and started my own company. After interviewing most of the major franchises, we decided we didn’t see the point of answering to a higher power that didn’t understand our local market, and never being able to customise a strategy or campaign the way a property needed. I believe every property is unique and there is more than one way to sell a property.
For the next 8 years, we grew to being the largest Independent Real Estate Agency in the Illawarra known as “Illawarra Estate Agents”. I can honestly say, I am proud of what we achieved but can also admit we got so big, I had taken on a role I no longer enjoyed. After serious consideration, I decided to sell the business and go back to doing what I love most, focusing solely on sales and my clients. I have a passion for sales, and being the owner and licensee of such a large company truly takes that personal side of it away.
So after 16 years and over 1000 sales under my belt, welcome to Ellem&Co!

Real Estate has been in my life since I was two years old, with my father “Daniel Ellem” being in the industry for the past 16 years. I am committed and willing to succeed in this industry by following my father’s footsteps.
I graduated from Edmund Rice College in 2022 and have lived my entire life here in the Illawarra. I enjoy playing sports, and have recently been a part of Balgownie Soccer Club, Towradgi Surf Life Saving Club, Corrimal Cougars RLFC and have been involved in communities around where I live. I am a registered bowler at Club Windang and you may recognise my face from there!
