You need JavaScript enabled to view it Jake began his real estate career with a degree in Land Economics from UTS graduating with Honours in 1994. Jake left real estate for a number of years to pursue a successful career as a presenter, MC and voiceover artist for various radio and television commercials and live events across Australia. Now he's back and ready to take Northern Beaches auctions to a new level. A Northern Beaches local, an active member of the school and sporting communities, a regular MC and Auctioneer at charity events for local schools, clubs and foundations, Jake has a friendly and relaxed manner and easily engages with all kinds of audiences. A great auction result depends on the Auctioneer's ability to connect with buyers and facilitate what will be a life changing event. Jake readily makes that connection, with his friendly and trustworthy approach to on-site auctions. The experience gained from his acting, presenting and MC career have given Jake the distinct ability of being able to work with any crowd under any circumstances and make them feel comfortable with the auction process. This art of building a rapport is unsurpassed by any of his competitors and enables Jake to extract the final dollar from the buying public. Jake has been personally trained and mentored by some of the best Auctioneers in the industry. He is always eager to hone his skills and we have no doubt he will be one of NSW leading Auctioneers in time. auctionWORKS are very excited to have Jake as part of their team and is grateful for the professional service he provides on a consistent basis. Enthusiastic, honest, reliable, local. Jake Downs is truly the full package and will no doubt surpass any of your expectations. Awards

“Thank you Jake for all the help and support you give to my team and our LJ Hooker Mona Vale office. So appreciate the time you take in visiting our properties weeks prior to the auction, your regular contact in regards to the interest and planning the best strategy for the owners and their auction day.
With you living in the area Jake and your lovely young family - your knowledge of the northern beaches area too is so valuable in that you are living and breathing your work when you are putting the best description together for describing the great features of the homes and the positions they are in. It too is comforting that you quite often know the owners and buyers on the day through your childrens' school and sporting circles that puts the crowd at ease.”
