Last week Bruce Herat and I met with Mark Bindon, CEO of Oak Tree villages, on a rare occasion he was in his Brisbane office. In 10 years he and his partners have established 20 villages across QLD, NSW, VIC and TAS, with 10 currently in development.

Our meeting was to discuss our Villages Legal Service, a flat $1000 solicitor contract review for prospective village residents. We had been impressed by the degree of openness that oak tree provides on its website to their DMF and contract options. Check them out HERE.

An economist by training, Mark says data drives their business, so why shouldn’t data be available to people searching for a village. It must be working because they can’t keep construction up with demand and their speed of resale turnover is less than half the rates of many operators
