Craig Tiley Beachfront Offer with 1% Any Agent Twist
When You Finally Get Home, It Should Feel Like You’re There
Absolute beachfront.
Your work is hard, often long hours.
Early starts. Late finishes. Decisions that matter.
But your family and you are more important.
For when you do get home, you don’t want distraction.
You don’t want noise.
You don’t want to still feel like you’re “on”.
You want to be present. Because your spouse notices, your kids notice.
They don’t measure your week by what you achieved, they measure it by the moments they get with you, the real ones that is.
That’s where this home, in this location, quietly changes things. Be you a medical specialist, a company director, Mum and other equally important roles – this home is part of the why?
Our clients, Craig and Ali Tiley are offering their absolute beachfront property on approximately 2000sqm – but more importantly, they’re offering a setting that allows you to arrive… and actually switch off.
Private, fully protected, no overlooking.
Space for children of any age, any demeanour to move, grow, and just be themselves with friends around and all whilst connecting with you both…. safely…..in this oasis.
Walk through the gate and onto the sand. It’s totally private.
Swim before breakfast. Reset after a long day.
Inside, the home is built for both family life and separation when needed, multiple living zones, a bay-facing kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, butler’s pantry, and spaces that allow everyone to be together or apart without friction.
Upstairs, a private retreat gives you somewhere to breathe.
Outside, the tennis court, pool, spa and grounds create a world where your family can live fully, even when you are not there.
It’s positioned where it needs to be…..this is such a unique part of the world…..one few outside the Tileys have discovered.
Close enough to Melbourne’s leading schools and the CBD to remain practical.
Far enough away to feel like you’ve left it all behind the moment you arrive.
Affordable enough to represent Melbourne’s best overall offering in 2026.
Sitting in a quieter pocket and in this softer market, a gap has been created that rarely exists.
But the real value isn’t just financial.
It’s what it gives your family when your time is limited.
Now here’s another thing that is rare: how it is being sold, the agents, your agents are here to support.
What do you mean? You can have whoever you trust working for you on this, your advisor, your contact, your agent or advocate and it won’t cost you anything. We at James handle that, with a fee share of 1% to them.
We are encouraging it…..the clients Craig and Ali Tiley are happy to pay it, because in doing so that means they can move on to their next chapter, as your family can here.
It’s a better system for buyers, for agents, and for the seller.
For you.
Win-win is still a way of the world that truly works.
If it’s something you’d like to understand properly, quietly and without pressure, we can arrange or your agent/advocate can arrange; a private, fully secure inspection.

This home is scheduled for Preliminary Final Weekend Spring Auction, but for the next month prior to the Winter shutdown there is an opportunity to view and purchase.
Agents/Advocates earn $100,000 plus...with one call
As Melbourne’s best real estate salesperson, buyer or seller agent…
In the same time it takes to make one phone call.
Multi-agent with James Buy Sell does exactly that.
We have paid out $5,000,000 on ½ billion homes dollars of homes sold multi-agent
Toorak. Twenty million.
Kew. Fifteen million.
Eaglemont. Nine million.
Brighton. Six million.
And now – this.
Eight transactions in, Craig and Ali Tiley still trust James Buy Sell to manage a multi-agent sale, in fact this is their third multi-agent, on one of Melbourne’s finest waterfront homes.
Absolute waterfront. Private beach. Not a prying eye in sight.
Tennis court. Pool. Grand family home.
For advocates and agents there’s always a catch, right?
Here it is. There is no catch, it’s simply your mindset.
If you are a buyer agent/advocate or selling agent bring your best buyer once, they sign and buy a wonderful home and it’s $100,000 or more to you.
And the home – your buyer will love you. Their home is all yours to sell.
Waterfront Aspendale. Absolute.
It’s less than half the distance from the CBD than Portsea. Half the distance. Half the drive.
And the price? Nothing like the fifteen to twenty million homes twelve minutes away in Brighton. We currently have a price guide of $11.5m
This is private. Totally private. Extraordinary value for what it is.
Every single one of the last one hundred multi-agent deals we have sale managed has seen a pay out to another agent in another company.
We are working with Garry Donovan from Belle but any agent from any company can still sell it for 1%, as in the past have Marshall White, Kay and Burton, Jellis Craig. All have participated in multi-agent sales with James Buy Sell Advocates.
The trusted name in multi-agent.
Private appointments only. Qualified buyers only. Security and confidentiality — for you, your client, and the Tiley family – every single interaction.
The quote is fair. The quote will buy it.
Guaranteed fair treatment and the buyer stays with you, not us. We want you to succeed.
Call me. Mal James. 0408 107 988 or Ring Garry from Belle – he wants you to sell it if that gets the best deal for the Tileys and your client.
Get your buyer through privately on one of Melbourne’s finest waterfront homes…
Multi-agent – on or off market.
It works in tough markets, off market, great markets. It just works.
Melbourne’s best Waterfront home now and you or anyone can sell it.

AI & Ratings Policy – Mal James
Our Philosophy
At James we believe in the intelligent use of AI for analysis, automation and clarity.
AI formed part of my Masters completed at RMIT in 2024. Beyond real estate, we also use AI in our Sub-Saharan Child Surgery Program, which employs many people and has helped more than 1,400 children receive life-changing surgery.
I have worked as a property advocate for 25 years.
During that time:
- The internet changed the industry.
- Mobile phones accelerated it.
- AI is now doing the same.
Technology changes tools. It does not replace judgement.
How We Use AI in Property Ratings
Property Selection
- Properties are chosen by us based on merit and relevance to clients.
- We do not publish homes where we are actively representing a buyer or a seller.
Physical Inspection – No AI
- Every rated property is personally inspected by me or Kathy or Sim.
- I have done this for 25 years.
- I attend the property, record a video on site and form my opinion there.
- No AI is used in that process.
Written Ratings
All opinions and conclusions are my own or ….. Sim or Kathy’s and we follow the James Home Rating Guide book.
AI is used to:
- Transcribe my video
- Structure and format my words in the copy on the Rating
- Assist with layout and thumbnails
AI works only from material I have created:
- My spoken transcript
- My Marketnews articles
- My Property Ratings book
- Our internal data
AI does not create our opinions. It simply organises mine.
Publishing
- AI assembles a draft webpage.
- Every rating is then reviewed and approved by our team before publication.
- Human oversight remains essential.
AI & Marketnews Articles
All Marketnews ideas and concepts are mine.
I often speak my thoughts into AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT and ask them to summarise using only:
- My spoken ideas
- My previous articles
- My established frameworks
I then:
- Review carefully
- Edit heavily
- Combine the strongest ideas
- Refine the argument and tone
- What you read is my thinking.
- AI simply helps structure it more clearly.
Our Standard
- AI improves efficiency and readability.
- It does not replace inspection, independence, negotiation or judgement.
- We remain accountable for every rating and article we publish.
An Open Invitation
If you ever feel something we publish lacks clarity or depth, I welcome the feedback.
Technology should enhance trust — not replace it.
Warm regards
