About Joris

Buying or selling property shouldn't feel like a game of guesswork

Property decisions carry weight: financially, emotionally, and personally. I came to Australia with no English or connections and quickly learned that strategy matters. Today I help Sydney buyers, locals, and NSW investors make smarter moves for their bigger life plans with clarity, care, and the experience to back it.

My Path to Property

Joris Cuesta Mugshot

Twenty years ago, I landed in Sydney with no English, no contacts, and just six months of savings, but a whole lot of drive. One of my first jobs was as an au pair for an architect’s family, and I soaked up every site visit like a sponge. That curiosity lit a fire that’s never gone out.

Since then, I’ve personally renovated and sold multiple properties, transforming tired homes into market winners with substantial gains. I’ve been in the thick of it, gutting kitchens, managing trades, and learning firsthand what adds real value (and what doesn't).

Before diving into property full-time, I spent a decade as a Business Growth Strategist, helping founders and First Nations enterprises grow with precision and purpose. Strategy and negotiation are in my DNA, and now I bring that same edge to the property game.

Here’s what sets me apart:

I don’t hold back. Where most people get nervous negotiating or feel awkward pushing for better terms, I lean in, it’s where I do my best work.

Whether I’m helping you secure the right property, prepping your home for a top-dollar sale, renovating or taking the pressure off auction day, you’re getting someone who’s been in the trenches and knows how to win.
