The appointment comes as the business continues to expand and strengthen its residential team, firming up its position as leaders in the Sydney market.

Mr Vertzayias has over 30 years of experience in the property industry, primarily in the new developments and project marketing sectors.

He told WILLIAMS MEDIA he was excited with the opportunity to join a highly respected global real estate company.

"The brand is well established in the residential project marketing sector nationally, with a strong presence in apartments, homes, house and land and residential estates. In addition to servicing these sectors, and in line with the changing market, I will be looking to expand the business into the boutique owner occupier market. We will look to bring our expertise to the more boutique sector, servicing smaller, high quality projects in well-established selected locations in Sydney. I will also be establishing a specialist team servicing only newly constructed built form product focused on localised markets." Mr Vertzayias said.

"I am very excited to be working closely alongside Managing Director Residential, Peter Chittenden, and combining our expertise and skill sets to best service the marketplace. Both Peter and I have successfully worked through some of the toughest markets in the past 30 years.  I believe we have one of the most experienced residential project marketing teams in the country, so the platform is set. My knowledge and experience will help bolster the NSW Residential team and firm up our position as market leaders in NSW."

Mr Vertzayias has represented some of Australia’s largest institutions and market leading  private developers in the country, overseeing a pipeline of more than $7 billion of new projects primarily across Sydney Metro, but also across NSW and QLD. These have ranged from higher end medium scale boutique developments, right through to multi-staged total urban renewals comprising of more than 1,000 dwellings.
 
"For more than 20 years, I have also successfully trained, mentored and managed a large team of project marketing professionals and helped them to excel in the field, become better professionals, and get the very best out of themselves, for the benefit of our clients”, Mr Vertzayias said.
 
Overseeing the NSW Residential Project Marketing business, Mr Vertzayias will be responsible for the operations, management, growth and success of the Colliers NSW residential business.
 
"This includes the strategic management, marketing and sale of new apartments, new homes, house and land, residential estates and resale’s (newly constructed built form)."
 
Peter Chittenden, Managing Director, Residential at Colliers International says he is "delighted" to welcome Mr Vertzayias on board.
 
“Dennis is widely recognized for his consistent track record to execute highly successful sales strategies for hundreds of new home and apartment launches across Sydney and will be a great leader to the NSW residential team and will also bring a wealth of experience to help service our clients across the NSW portfolio.” 
 
Some of Dennis’ most prominent clients include Toga Group, Stockland, Brookfield, Multiplex, Charter Hall, Sunland, EG, Daiwa House, Metro Property Development and Alceon, TA Global and BRDB.
