About Shane Merrick - Real Estate Agent

Raised on the family farm at Possum Brush near Nabiac and educated locally, Shane started his Real Estate career in 1996 at the tender age of just 18.

Shane’s early career was greatly influenced by his father Fred Merrick a long-term Real Estate Agent and businessman who started his real estate and business career in Sydney the late 1950’s.

In January 1996 Shane and his father opened Merrick’s Real Estate in Nabiac, a boutique Real Estate, Stock and Station agency that specialised in residential and rural lifestyle properties.

This is where Shane’s father trained him in old fashioned business traditions, and where he learned that integrity & honesty are the keys to a successful business.After 12 years of success and service at Merrick’s Real Estate Shane decided in 2008 to move his real estate career to practice in Forster – Tuncurry where he thrived in a high paced and very competitive market place.

In 2015 Shane received a great opportunity to move into the real estate and development sector, working for one of Australia’s premier real estate development and home building companies as a sales and development manager.

Here Shane had great sales success and experienced the joy of seeing residential land developments go from undeveloped bare parcels of land to neighbourhood’s filled with new homes within a few years.

Shane comments that this was a very rewarding and satisfying experience in his real estate career.

Shane has over 26 years of real estate sales and property development experience under his belt and is also a Class 1 Licensed Real Estate and Stock and Station Agent.

Away from business Shane is a dedicated family man who loves spending time with his wife (Joanne) and two young daughters on their hobby farm at Possum Brush where they enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle.

Shane’s family also enjoy holidaying on cruise ships and other overseas travel when they can.

Shane comments that his families overseas holiday travels have been a great educational experience especially for his young daughters who have experienced and seen other cultures through the United States, Hawaii, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Shane’s years of real estate and property development experience, local knowledge and down to earth nature make both himself and the team at Elders Real Estate Taree the right choice for property owners looking to sell their most valuable assets. Shane is looking forward to servicing clients throughout the Manning Valley.
