M - Michael Mort - Principal
Michael the youngest of the 3 Principals has enjoyed a 11 year experience in Dunsborough real estate which has been complemented by his prior association with the Western Australian Tourism Commission in the areas of advertising, promotions and sales.
When first moving to Dunsborough, Michael, his wife and their two children became residents of Whalers' Cove Villas as the management team which built an enviable reputation of the development being one of the most sought after tourist resorts in the district. This development is a short stay development outlet comprising 20 strata units. They continued day to day management of this resort and this provided Michael with an unapparalled knowledge of not only this category of property but the Dunsborough locality and its surrounds.
Michael is known as a quiet achiever, very much a team member who provides continual inspiration to younger members of our group and is never underestimated by peers in the industry who acknowledge his desire to service and as a result succeed in any task undertaken. His honesty,attention to detail and vast knowledge of the real estate industry in the South West are attributes which clients are drawn to when dealing with Michael.
His former involvement with the Tourism Commission, a former player for the Subiaco Football Club, Dunsborough Junior Footbal Club Coach and the contacts made since moving to Dunsborough, has created a vast network throughout the State which in many cases has enabled him to provide an "off market" sale (in favour of our clients).

Prior to joining the industry Joe was awarded a degree in Business Administration from Edith Cowan University, obtained his pilot license to fly small aircraft and became a professional skipper of a prawn trawler in the states north west for a period of 7 years. He and his wife also purchased a retail business in Dunsborough which was held for a period of 3 years.

Joe was also elected to the position of a REIWA Councillor for a period of 3 years and was the Chair for the Institute's Coalition for Property Rights. Joe's 18 years experience in the industry in Dunsborough has enabled him to observe varying market conditions during which he earned a solid reputation for qualified and sound advice on all matters pertaining to the various categories of property in the region.
Joe has fostered a culture of professionalism and enthusiasm within the JMW team and also considers ongoing professional development of all staff as an absolutely vital necessity for the longevity of the Company and to also create the highest standards of service to clients and customers alike.
