🎙️ Real Estate Revamp | John Nockles & Jarrod Moran – Directors, CVA Property Consultants

In this episode of Real Estate Revamp, Rex and Chanell sit down with John Nockles and Jarrod Moran, Directors at CVA Property Consultants, to unpack the thinking, culture, and values behind one of Victoria’s leading commercial real estate firms.

With more than 15 years of experience in Melbourne’s commercial property market, John shares how CVA’s journey has been shaped by a consultative, problem-solving approach, working closely with owner-occupiers and investors across sales, leasing, asset management, and development consultancy. Known for his lateral thinking in a traditionally linear industry, John speaks to the importance of innovation, adaptability, and looking beyond “what’s been done” to what’s possible.

Jarrod brings deep market knowledge, extensive business experience, and a relentless work ethic to the conversation. He discusses how commercial real estate differs from residential, the importance of long-term strategy on the investor side, and why trust, discretion, and analytical thinking sit at the heart of successful commercial transactions.

Together, John and Jarrod dive into CVA’s growth from a 25-person team to more than 58 employees, achieved largely through organic growth rather than acquisition. They share insights into CVA’s family-based culture, core values of courage, accountability, authenticity, and integrity, and why hiring the right people, based on attitude and values matters more than prior industry experience.

The conversation also explores leadership, partnership, and personal philosophy, including how they define success beyond financial metrics, the importance of family and balance, and why doing the right thing, creating value, and leading by example have been central to CVA’s continued success.

Whether you’re in commercial real estate, business, or leadership, this episode delivers thoughtful insights and real-world lessons from two leaders helping redefine what success looks like in the commercial property space.
