While Managing Director and equity partner at Hegney Property Group – at the time the largest independent valuation business in Western Australia – he was instrumental in growing the company statewide and launching WA’s first buyer’s agency.
Stewart has held roles in acquisitions with Satterley Property Group, securing large englobo land for future master planned community developments, and has negotiated significant tourism sites for Aspen Group.
He was also instrumental in securing the finance for Piara Waters Lifestyle Resort.
Based in Perth, Stewart holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Property) and is an Australian Institute of Company Directors graduate.
He is a father of two who loves boating, fishing and football, and is North Beach Football Club’s A Grade team assistant coach. He was also a captain at Swan Districts Football Club, playing 87 games.
