Dave Farley
Founder
David is an experienced property professional with 15 years of experience in the industry. He is a Certified Practicing Valuer (AAPI) with a core background in property valuation and development. He has worked across several states within Australia as well as abroad - having spent two years working for a property firm in the UK.
Having commenced work experience in 2009 whilst still studying, David obtained membership within the Australia Property Institute in 2012, and Certified Practicing Valuer accreditation (CPV) in 2014, before becoming a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 2019.
His core background includes highest and best-use valuations, residential and commercial valuations, development valuations, feasibility and viability consultancy and commercial rent reviews.
In Australia, David has looked to advance his core skill of valuation and development into his own practices - being the driver for Ascend VA - by bringing these components into one business. Dave is a firm believer in hard work and creating your own luck.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his young family, socialising with friends, getting back to his farm in central Victoria, and visiting family in Victoria and northwest Tasmania. An interested sports follower, he has a particular interest in Cricket, Rugby Union, AFL and Golf.
