Having grown up in Geelong, including being educated at Geelong Grammar, it is probably not surprising that one of the key ingredients in Jeff Begg’s rise to the top of the real estate tree has been his total commitment to looking after the members of the community that he knows so well.
Jeff has always been known as a true “people person”, so when the opportunity arose in 2002 to work hand in hand with the residents of Geelong to maximise their property dealings he grabbed it with both hands, and has never looked back. Since then he has risen through the ranks, building a strong following among local property owners as a trusted source of advice and service in all real estate related matters, and becoming a Director of the highly successful Hodges office in Geelong West in 2011.
Jeff’s passion for all things property related extends well beyond the office. Having completed several successful home renovations himself, his advice has proven to be of benefit to numerous clients when weighing up the potential that different properties offer.
Above all, however, Jeff’s track record of achieving exceptional results for his vendors is built on his passion for Geelong’s unique lifestyle and his ability to communicate that passion to people from a variety of backgrounds. The fact that so many of Jeff’s clients come straight to him through the personal recommendations of their friends, their neighbours and their family says a great deal about Jeff’s commitment to transparency and exceptional service.
In his rare time away from the office, Jeff can often be found keeping an eye out for his next renovation project, enjoying the local cafes and restaurants with family and friends, or wetting a line at one of his favourite local fishing spots.
So if you’re looking for an agent who cares about your result when you sell every bit as much as you do, then Jeff Begg is a great person to have by your side. Just don’t ask him about his best fishing spots…even Jeff has to draw the line somewhere!

Distinctive Art Moderne style meets contemporary class in this meticulously renovated home providing all the lifestyle benefits of an inner-city address. Attention to detail has been a priority in creating a stunner for modern living and entertaining. With sports facilities at Richmond Oval a few hundred metres away, and South Geelong train station, the medical precinct, shops and cafes all within walking distance, the property is also ultra-convenient. The home, circa 1932, retains an array of original features, including its Conite render exterior, decorative ceiling panels, character picture rails/shelves, and timber doors with glass handles. But it has also been updated for a modern era – re-wired, re-plumbed, re-stumped, re-roofed, fitted out with new insulation, striking custom-made windows modelled on the artwork of Mondrian and boasting a stunning open-plan entertainment-friendly living zone and garden studio. The rear, north-facing living area incorporates a chef’s kitchen, spacious meals area and lounge and extends out to an alfresco deck and undercover cabana through double sliding doors. The centrepiece of the kitchen is a 3m-long island bench with granite top, complementing a suite of European appliances, including a 900mm Smeg oven, Miele dishwasher and integrated Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, plus Franke sink and abundant storage in soft-close cupboards and drawers. The three generous bedrooms are located away from the living hub for privacy, the master with garden outlook, walk-in robe and upmarket ensuite accessed via a unique barn-style sliding door. A second bedroom at the front of the house has a cosy open fireplace and the third a large built-in robe. A stunning north-facing bathroom with picture window looking out to the private rear garden boasts a deep free-standing soaker tub, walk-in shower, granite bench and quality fixtures and fittings. It adjoins the spacious laundry, cleverly designed to hide the appliances under the granite bench, with loads of storage and its own garden window. The rear studio, with sliding doors on two sides to welcome the greenery inside, quality ensuite and walk-in storage room, is ideal as a teen retreat, guest getaway, granny flat or home office with relaxing outlook. Other highlights include oak timber floors, hydronic heating, split-system unit, roller blinds, sound system, heated towel rails, in-wall toilet cisterns, bathroom mirror storage cabinets and well-established garden. The property, zoned to South Geelong Primary School, is walking distance to University Hospital and East Geelong shopping village. It’s also within easy reach of private schools in Newtown, Geelong Botanic Gardens, the waterfront, CBD shops and offices, GMHBA Stadium, the Ring Road and the highway to the Bellarine Peninsula.
