Brad Carlin-Smith
Head of Growth and Partnerships

Brad is a Licensed Estate Agent in Victoria with nearly two decades of experience spanning the full breadth of the property industry. With a career built on commercial acumen, operational leadership, and a deep understanding of how real estate businesses grow, Brad brings a rare combination of frontline expertise and executive perspective to his current role.
After stepping away from corporate life in 2007 to immerse himself in property, Brad developed hands-on mastery across residential and commercial sales and leasing, negotiations, and auctioneering, experience that now underpins his ability to support franchise partners with credibility and precision. He understands what it takes to build a pipeline, lead a team, and win in competitive markets because he has done it himself.
Brad’s passion for the industry runs deep. Shaped early by his father’s work as a draftsman and civil engineer in property development, he developed an instinctive understanding of how property is designed, built, marketed, and sold, a perspective that informs his strategic thinking at every level.
Critically, Brad has owned and managed large real estate businesses, giving him an intimate understanding of the challenges and opportunities franchise principals face. This experience allows him to engage with partners not just as a corporate representative, but as a fellow operator who has navigated the same decisions around growth, recruitment, brand positioning, and market expansion.
In his current role, Brad is focused on driving the growth of the franchise network, identifying new market opportunities, developing high-performing office partnerships, and equipping franchise principals with the strategic tools, marketing frameworks, and operational support they need to scale. His lateral thinking, innovative approach to brand and marketing, and calm, solutions-focused style make him a trusted partner for both emerging and established offices.
Brad is committed to building a network defined by excellence, trust, and long-term commercial success, for partners, their clients, and the Noel Jones Brand.
Outside of work, Brad enjoys time with family and friends, is a passionate cyclist and car enthusiast, and retreats to his country property near Yea in Victoria.
