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!

Take up a rare opportunity to restore one of Geelong West’s earliest homesteads to its former glory, with plans available on request. Historic Homewood, circa 1864, on a wide 841sqm allotment (approx.) with north-facing rear yard, is ready for renovation, extension (STCA) and a new era. The rich past of the double-fronted brick home, originally built for coppersmith Charles Homewood, is evident throughout, with heritage features including fireplaces, an ornate hall arch, timber floors, slate roof, high ceilings and spacious rooms. With four generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, an expansive central lounge/dining area, long adjoining kitchen, plus potential formal lounge, study or extra bedroom, all the basics are there for a grand lifestyle. Restoration work has begun, with many of the rooms stripped back for renovation, plus installation of a new bathroom, but the home is waiting for your creative touch. A large rear studio or storage area attached to the main house could also be opened up for extra living space or used as a private work-from-home area. Another brick building at the rear offers options as a teen retreat, guest getaway or for a home business. Other highlights include a wide front verandah from which to relax with a coffee and enjoy the shady front garden, fruit trees and off-street parking accessed via a rear lane. The home is in a prime position for modern living, located between the shopping and dining precincts of Pakington St and Shannon Ave, with top-quality schools within easy reach. It’s walking distance to Sparrow and West parks and supermarkets, and an easy drive to Geelong train station, The Gordon TAFE, the CBD, waterfront and the Ring Road.
