DiJones has ramped up the capabilities of its investment management division with the appointment of Benjamin Goben, as Head of Growth.

“Investment management is a vital component of a successful real estate business and Ben will play a key role in ensuring that we achieve consistent growth and profitability for our large portfolio of properties, whilst retaining a keen focus on the needs of our clients,” DiJones CEO Dean Mackie said.

“Ben’s 25-year career in the real estate profession, most recently as CEO of Chadwick Real Estate, provides us with an incredible amount of experience and resource. 

“In his role as head of growth Ben will be working collaboratively with the DiJones Head of Investment Management, Pamela Styling who will continue to drive strategy within the existing portfolio.

“Together, it’s unlikely that there would be a more experienced and capable team in the investment management space to innovate and ultimately provide DiJones’s current and future clients with service that will evolve with their changing needs, while also mentor the best people to handle the management of DiJones and our clients asset portfolio.

“Their dual function will provide great agility and enable DiJones Investment Management to evolve to the changing property landscape and needs of the business and consumers.”

Mr Mackie added that Ben will also work with newly appointed head of sales innovation Darryn McRae to identify and recruit both established and emerging talent to the DiJones sales team across the entire network.

“With a proven track record that includes the expansion of the Chadwick business from a single office to an organisation that spans the entire North Shore, Ben’s ability to foster strong relationships and ensure the growth of the people he leads is what he considers the keys to success.”

Ben Goben said his vast hands-on experience across all facets of the industry makes him uniquely placed to recruit, grow, assist, and motivate the best people. 

“Those who have worked with me know my passion and that I’m always willing to roll up my sleeves to get in and help with any situation that can unfold during a typical day in real estate.

“The vision and values DiJones offer will support me to focus significantly on asset growth across the entire group and building on talent whilst ensuring that we are delivering best in breed service across the network and to clients.”
