Local at heart. Experienced by nature. Real estate, done personally.
Altus Realty Group is a proudly family-owned and independent South Australian real estate agency, based in the heart of Gawler.
We provide residential sales, property management and property investment services across Gawler, Adelaide’s northern and north-eastern suburbs and throughout South Australia.
But what really defines Altus isn’t simply what we do – it’s how we choose to do it. We believe real estate should be built around people and relationships, not simply transactions.

Established experience. A new chapter.
The Altus story began long before the name appeared above our Gawler office. Since 2005, our business has built an established property management portfolio, caring for hundreds of South Australian investment properties and developing long-standing relationships with landlords, renters, investors and families along the way. Property management remains at the heart of Altus today, supported by an experienced team of dedicated property professionals.
As our business has evolved, we’ve brought residential sales, property management and investment property services together under one independent brand. It means our clients can have one trusted real estate relationship through the different stages of property ownership:
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built and, just as importantly, how we’ve built it.
We’ve chosen to make it personal.
Altus is proudly family owned, with our founders, Nick Bevan and Leanne Trimbell, bringing years of property and real estate experience to the business, including time spent within some of Australia’s largest real estate networks. Those experiences taught us plenty about systems, marketing, negotiation, property management and what it takes to operate a professional real estate agency. They also helped shape our thinking about what we wanted to do differently.
We wanted to build an agency where relationships weren’t dictated by corporate structures, sales targets or the need to turn every conversation into another transaction. We wanted the freedom to give honest advice, to tell someone when we believe they should act – and equally, when we think they shouldn’t – and to take the time to understand the person sitting across the table.
That’s one of the things we value most about being independent. We get to decide what kind of real estate business we want to be, and we’ve chosen to make it personal.
to the Gawler community
Gawler isn’t simply where we’ve put an office. It’s home. Our family’s connection to the Gawler community spans more than 60 years, and we’re incredibly proud to have Altus based on Murray Street in the heart of town.
We’re local people. We support local businesses, work alongside local trades and professionals and genuinely value being part of the community in which we operate. That local connection gives us an intimate understanding of Gawler and the surrounding areas, while our experience and client relationships take Altus much further afield.
Today, we work with homeowners, buyers, landlords, renters and investors across metropolitan Adelaide, the northern and north-eastern suburbs and throughout South Australia. Our roots are firmly planted in Gawler, but our capability extends well beyond it.
How we do things
Boutique by choice.
Being boutique is an important part of the Altus model – not because it limits what we can do, but because it influences how we do it. We want our clients to know the people looking after them. We want you to be able to pick up the phone and speak with someone who knows you, knows your property and understands what you’re trying to achieve.
Our sales, property management and support teams work together rather than operating as disconnected parts of the same business. We combine that personal approach with the systems, technology, marketing and professional standards expected of a modern real estate agency.
For us, being boutique isn’t about thinking small. It’s about being intentional about how we grow. We want great people in our team, great relationships with our clients and a business we’re genuinely proud to put our name and reputation behind.
Property management is part of our DNA.
Property management isn’t simply another service offered by Altus – it’s the foundation our business was built on. Our experienced property management team understands the day-to-day realities of investment property ownership, from tenant selection, legislation and maintenance through to communication, inspections, rental markets and the hundreds of smaller decisions that go into looking after someone’s investment properly.
That experience also brings a different perspective to our sales business. We work with investors assessing potential purchases, landlords growing portfolios, families deciding whether to retain or sell a property, buyers searching for their next home and owners who eventually decide the time is right to sell.
Having property management and sales working side by side allows us to look beyond an individual transaction and understand the bigger property picture.
We’d like to be your real estate people for much longer than one transaction.We’re in the relationship business
Property might be what brings people through our door, but relationships are what we hope keep them here.
Sometimes we’ll meet someone who wants to sell tomorrow. Sometimes they’re buying their first investment. Sometimes they simply want to understand what their home could be worth. And sometimes the best advice we can give them is to do absolutely nothing yet. That’s okay with us.
We’d rather have a coffee, give you an honest opinion and build a relationship than pressure you into making a decision that isn’t right for you.
If we manage your first investment today, we’d love to help when you buy your second. If we sell your home, we’d love to be the people you call when you’re ready for the next one. And if years later you recommend Altus to a friend or family member because you remember being looked after properly, that’s success to us.
Our people make Altus.
Buildings, branding and technology are important, but people are what make a real estate agency. We’re incredibly proud of the team behind Altus – experienced property professionals who bring different strengths, personalities and perspectives to our business while sharing the same commitment to looking after people properly.
We believe good people do their best work when they’re trusted, supported and genuinely valued. That’s why we’re building a culture where our team can grow, share their expertise, enjoy coming to work and take genuine ownership of the experience we provide our clients.
Because ultimately, the people looking after your property should feel just as invested in Altus as we are.
Meet our teamHonest advice. No hard sell.
You probably won’t hear too many stereotypical real estate sales pitches from us, and that’s intentional. We’ll work incredibly hard to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. We’ll negotiate strongly, market intelligently, manage carefully and have the difficult conversations when they’re needed.
But we don’t believe pressure and professionalism are the same thing. We’ll give you our opinion, explain why, listen to yours and ultimately help you make the decision that’s right for you.
Straightforward advice, delivered by people who genuinely care about the outcome. That’s how we believe real estate should feel.
Come in and have a coffee with us.
Family owned, proudly local and independent by choice. Established in property management and strengthened by sales. Deeply connected to Gawler, with clients and properties throughout South Australia. Experienced enough to understand the industry – and independent enough to do things our own way.
We’re proud of where we’ve come from, incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and genuinely excited about where Altus is heading next. But no matter how much the business grows, there’s one thing we don’t want to change: we want to know our clients.
So whether you’re thinking about selling, buying, investing, changing property managers or simply looking for some honest property advice, come and say hello. Drop into our Gawler office, pick up the phone or, better yet, come in and have a coffee with us.
