Jellis Craig looks to build on record-breaking year with four big-name hires

Building on a year which saw company records broken for number of sales, properties sold on individual auction days and total sales volume, premium real estate agency Jellis Craig has announced four well-known new hires to kickstart an even bigger 2026.

Cheyne Fox will join Jellis Craig Port Phillip as Sales Executive, Craig Harrison is moving into the role of Partner at Jellis Craig Bayside, Ashlee McKee will take the reins as a Senior Sales Consultant and Licensed Estate Agent across Jellis Craig Central Victoria, and Shawn White joins Jellis Craig Richmond as a Licensed Estate agent and Senior Sales Consultant.

Together, the new team members bring decades of experience across premium property sales, strengthening Jellis Craig’s foothold across key corridors in Melbourne and the regions.

Cheyne Fox will join the Port Phillip team, having consistently been one of Port Melbourne’s top agents for the last five years with multiple multi-million-dollar deals closed, an intrinsic focus on working with local community groups, and a reputation for exceptional service.

Across Brighton and Sandringham, incoming partner Craig Harrison – who has been recognised in the Herald Sun Top 30 Under 30 and has broken suburb records in Highett – will bring his deep understanding of both buyers and sellers, guiding his clients with a clear and concise approach that doesn’t rely on pressure.

Relocating to Central Victoria with her young family years ago, Ashlee McKee brings over 22 years of experience across sales, marketing and real estate to the Jellis Craig office.

Her characteristically calm, attentive and professional approach has made her a popular and well-respected figure within the local community.

Shawn White joins the Richmond team and brings more than 12 years of experience, most recently as Victorian Sales Manager.

His appointment further enhances capabilities across the apartment market and reinforces Jellis Craig’s commitment to delivering outstanding results for its clients.

The hires come at a time of sustained growth for Jellis Craig, which sold 1,236 properties in October 2025 – its highest-ever number of transactions in a single month.

The record-breaking October also extended to sales volume, which totalled over $1.83 billion, while Saturday 25 October was the group’s busiest-ever auction day with 235 homes going under the hammer.

Last year, over 400 people joined the Jellis Craig network, underpinning the record-breaking results seen throughout the year and affirming CEO Andrew McCann’s approach to strategic expansion.

“We are very proud to be welcoming such well-known agents across our network and the communities we service.

Cheyne, Craig, Ashlee and Shawn will make incredible additions to our team, and each bring a wealth of knowledge across the premium property sales that Jellis Craig is known for.

“The arrival of these four agents underscores our reputation as the destination of choice Victoria’s top talent.

Our ambition is clear: to be the best place for property professionals to operate, built on a values-driven culture, premium brand, and industry-leading systems.

Their choice to join us reinforces our position as Victoria’s leading property agency.

“We’re always looking to further strengthen our team across key markets – this approach is one of the factors that saw so many company records broken in 2025, and certainly something we’ll be continuing to focus on in 2026” he said.
