Jeff Keast

Specialist Accommodation Broker
Brisbane
"Across all businesses there is one constant. You need to provide your clients with impeccable service and actively listen to what they need. Then you need to work your backside off to get them the best result."

Jeff is one of the most trusted and respected management rights specialists in Brisbane, an accomplishment he puts down to his hard work in building long-term relationships with both his client sellers and buyers.

Since joining ResortBrokers in 2020, Jeff has sold 66 management rights assets with a total value of more than $116 million. In FY25, Jeff transacted 19 of the 27 management rights sales in his zone, representing a market share of 70% that earned him ResortBrokers’ Highest Market Share award.

In FY23, Jeff won ResortBrokers’ Rising Star award. That year, he was also a finalist for ARAMA’s Sales Broker of the Year Award for the second year in a row.

Jeff’s notable career transactions include the 2023 sale of the management rights to the 81-apartment short-stay Annexe Apartments in the Brisbane inner-city suburb of Bowen Hills for a record $8.3 million.

His other notable sales include the 256-unit Panorama Apartments (Bowen Hills), which he sold off market; Park View and Alma Parklands (in North Lakes and Dakabin respectively), consisting of 373 townhouses in total, which were sold in one line; the 26 apartment La Vida on Anzac (Redcliffe); the 221-apartment Illumina high-rise (Toowong); the 150-apartment Victoria Cove (Victoria Point); the 143-apartment Zest (Kelvin Grove); the 130-apartment Savoir Faire (Milton); and the off-the-plan management rights to Evoke and Motif in McDowall and Bridgeman Downs respectively, which were sold in one line.

Occasionally, Jeff works on deals outside his zone. In 2024, he conjuncted with a fellow ResortBrokers’ agent for the sale of the management rights of Noosaville’s largest resort, the 133-apartment Ivory Palms Resort.

Jeff’s determination to help all parties in a deal are the key to his success.

“What I enjoy most about my job is helping people find a great business,” he says.

“Often, they’re first timers entering the industry and they’re buying a business as well as a lifestyle. It’s also very rewarding to sell a business for someone, especially someone who is approaching retirement. At times I’ve found myself to be emotionally invested in achieving an outstanding result for both the seller and buyer.”

“These transactions take the best part of five to six months, so I work very closely with both parties. For me, the key to being a great broker is to realise the importance of having great relationships with buyers and sellers and to be extremely patient throughout the process to see the sale all the way through to settlement.”

“Across all businesses there is one constant. You need to provide your clients with impeccable service and actively listen to what they need. Then you need to work your backside off to get them the best result.”

Outside work, Jeff is a great family man who loves spending time with his wife and two kids. He is also a doggedly loyal Broncos supporter, having stuck by them through thick and thin.
