Jeff Klopper

Managing Director

Accredited Real Estate Agent & Licensee, 23+ Years Experience in Large Format Retail Leasing, Sales and Management

In November 2009 Jeff established Vend Property. This comes after 10 years with CB Richard Ellis, focusing on the Large Format Retail market. For six years he was the Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand.

In this role Jeff was responsible for a team of 22 staff who together successfully completed over 1,400 transactions in the Large Format Retail market in Australia which included five of Australia’s top eleven largest homemaker centres (by total floor space).

Jeff commenced his career in 1997 at JCLD as a Commercial and Industrial Leasing Executive and two years later moved to CB Richard Ellis working in the same role. During his first year at CBRE Jeff realigned his focus from commercial and industrial sales and leasing assets to Large Format Retail centres and by 2003 was promoted to the role of Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand.

With this experience comes a thorough understanding of the Large Format Retail market not only in Perth but on a national level. Jeff ensures he regularly visits the Eastern states not only to build on his already existing relationships with investors and national Large Format retailers such as Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Freedom, The Good Guys, Spotlight, Anaconda, Super Amart and Super Retail but also to keep abreast of developments in the Large Format Retail industry in QLD, NSW, SA and Victoria.

Jeff has a passion for the industry that few can parallel. This passion combined with his experience and knowledge of the market enables Jeff to continually exceed expectations and provide exceptional results for his clients.
