Tony & Clinton
Everything commercial, handled by two people who work on it together.
Tony Lawson and Clinton Barker work side by side on commercial instructions across South Australia. Tony brings evidence-led sales, leasing and property advisory work, while Clinton adds around a decade in real estate and more than 30 years of combined property and business experience across industrial, owner-occupied and investment property.
One conversation gives you both, from first appraisal through to settlement. When commercial property is on your mind, tonylawson exp should be your first call.
Know what the evidence says
Commercial advice should begin with context.
An agency appraisal and a formal independent valuation serve different purposes. Tony can provide market-facing sales and leasing advice, then coordinate an appropriately qualified valuer when a formal report is required.
