Jones Realty & Projects have been an absolute joy to partner with throughout our off-the-plan purchase at Olive Street. We were initially drawn in by the location and architectural mock-ups, but it was Simon Atkins’ kindness, knowledge and patience that truly gave us confidence and made Olive Street our clear choice over other developments we considered.
Buying into the Australian property market felt daunting at first — new terminology, FIRB, settlement processes and strata — but Simon’s calm guidance, Nicole’s clear updates, and Emily’s support made everything far easier and less stressful than it could have been. The team’s communication was excellent, and the PDF factsheets and engaging video content (especially on strata) were genuinely helpful.
We’ve been struck by the integrity, professionalism and care Jones brought at every step, and we love the quality of the finish, the thoughtful design and amenities, and the mural artwork. We would 100% recommend Jones Realty & Projects — five stars for service, trust, professionalism and people — and they’ll be our first call again.
Mark T. (Olive St Purchaser)
Annette Henshall was friendly, knowledgeable and highly professional throughout my off-the-plan purchase at Olive Street Apartments in Subiaco. The team kept me up to date and were very quick to help whenever I needed answers, which made the process much easier. My expectations were exceeded and I’m very happy with the outcome — my favourite part is the location, and the apartment itself is beautiful with high-quality finishes. I’d definitely recommend Jones Realty & Projects and would choose them again.
Morena F. (Olive St Purchaser)
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the fantastic service I received, especially from Nicole. The communication with her was always smooth, and she was dedicated to understanding exactly what I wanted. I also want to acknowledge Brett from the development team for his efforts with the windows. It’s been 20 days since I moved into my new apartment, and it’s been amazing! I’m excited to see the view every morning. Your teamwork has truly made a difference, and I’m looking forward to enjoying my new space. Thank you all for your support!
Pooria S. (One Richardson Purchaser)
I needed something that was ready to move into as I had my property in Mandurah on the market and I knew it would sell quickly. Annette is amazing! She is such a terrific asset to your team, she is professional, thorough but extremely personable and understanding as well. I was going through the hardest time of my life at the time of buying and selling my property. My wife was in palliative care while I was going through the process. My wife was generally the one who handled all the banking and would have been the one organising us moving so I was in uncharted waters. Annette helped me at every stage along the way and nothing was too much trouble for her. I couldn't have got through this without her, my wife ended up passing away during settlement. Annette made everything as easy as possible for me and I could never thank her enough for that.
Ryan S. (The Precinct Purchaser)
Simon not only guided us throughout the process through several informative sessions at the office but helped set us up with Mortgage brokers and Property Managers. This in turn has steered us towards a specialist tax agent so in essence, "A one stop shop". On top of all this, My Wife Lucy loves him. His honest approach made her feel at ease where others have made her skeptical which is why we have waited so long to begin our Journey. Your knowledge and experience is exceptional. If you suggested to us to buy in a certain area, I'd seriously consider it. Both Properties we purchased have already gained in value and set us up for a much better retirement. I'm passing much of what I have learned onto my own Children and friends. You are the epitome of an exemplary business. I wish we met sooner.
Steve & Lucy G. (One Richardson Purchaser)
As a first time foreign buyer, we are very fortunate to have Simon as our agent to explain everything we needed to know. We appreciate your buyer-oriented approach; your efforts have made the property purchase a pleasant (and much less stressful) experience to us.

Frequent downsizer questions
Do I have to sell my house before I can buy off the plan?
No, and that’s the main advantage. You secure the apartment with a 10% deposit now and don’t settle until the building is complete, which typically gives you a year or more to sell your home on your own terms rather than rushing a sale to meet a settlement date.
What happens if my house hasn't sold by settlement?
You have options, including bridging finance or a short extension by negotiation. The key is to start the conversation early rather than at the last minute. Because you know the settlement window well in advance, most downsizers time their sale campaign to land comfortably ahead of it.
Can I put the proceeds from my home into super?
The downsizer contribution allows eligible Australians to contribute up to $300,000 each from the sale of their home into super, outside the usual caps. There are age, ownership period and timing conditions, so get financial advice before you sell, not after.
Will I lose too much space?
Most downsizers find they lose storage, not living space. Well designed apartments are more efficient than older homes, and open plan living tends to feel larger than the floor plan suggests. It’s worth measuring your key pieces of furniture against the plan and deciding early what’s coming with you.
Can I make changes to suit how I want to live?
There’s scope to select finishes and, depending on the project stage, adjust certain elements of the layout. If you have specific requirements, whether that’s step free access, a wider hallway, or a study that works as a guest room, raise them at the outset while there’s still flexibility in the build.
