James Nelis

I spent years chasing a premiership in semi-professional AFL. Setbacks, injuries, rebuilds. When we finally won it, I understood something that now shapes everything I do for clients: the gap between average and exceptional is almost never talent - it's process, discipline, and the right environment. I bought my first investment property in 2014 in Kallangur, Queensland. Since then I've built a growing portfolio and developed a clear, repeatable approach to finding, assessing, and securing the right properties - the kind most buyers never see. At The Nelis Group, I work with investors who are serious about building long-term wealth and want to do it without overpaying or wasting months on the wrong opportunities. My guarantee is simple: I'll make sure you don't overpay, I'll get you access to properties you'd never find on your own, and I'll save you months of stress in the process. That approach has been recognised across the industry. - Named one of 15 national expert contributors to the SPI Fast 50 2027, alongside some of Australia's most recognised buyers agents and analysts - Nominated across three categories at the 2026 Australian Buyers Agent Awards: Buyers Agent of the Year, Buyers Agency of the Year, and Referral Network of the Year - Guest on Smart Property Investment, Pizza and Property, and other industry platforms - REB Rising Star finalist, 2025 Ready to buy your next property?
