Jellis Craig expands eastern suburbs presence

The office, which formerly operated as Ray White Croydon, will continue to be led by director James Wilson.

Wilson, who brings over 15 years of real estate experience to the group, said the office was drawn to Jellis Craig by its local expertise and reputation in Melbourne’s market.

“We’ve always respected and admired the way Jellis Craig operates, particularly across the eastern suburbs,” Wilson said.

“We have a highly skilled and experienced team, and we can’t wait to see what we can do now that we’ve joined the Jellis Craig group.”

Jellis Craig Manningham director Andrew Keleher said the office's understanding of the market fundamentals in the eastern suburbs would make them a valuable addition to the group's services.

He said Melbourne’s eastern suburbs were a hotspot for buyers seeking high-quality schooling in lifestyle-driven areas.

“James and his team are highly passionate and very well-connected; they have an intimate knowledge of the area, are active members of the community, and there’s a values alignment in terms of our management style and approach,” Keleher concluded.

Jellis Craig said the acquisition of the Corydon office represented continued momentum for the group, coming off a strong 2025.
