Bio
Simon Creek FANZCN AIFLAM
Damian is what you might call an industry leader. Entrepreneurial, insightful, extremely hard working and in possession of that rarest of combinations: judgment, commercial common sense and a track record in property and business that makes him the envy of all in his field. What does that mean in plain English? It means that Damian is someone to listen to. It means his advice is of great value. Particularly in this day and age, anyone with a vested interest in the Australian property sector - commercial, industrial and residential - needs to contact Damian and his team at Momentum. Don't settle for less.

I met Damian in 2009 when I attended a seminar about the value of buyers agents. Damian's vision struck me as intuitive, intelligent and ground breaking. It is wonderful to see the success of his group. Momentum are a strong team of like minded professional with a great service, that is in very high demand because it makes so much sense. I highly recommend the team at Momentum to all considering their service.
