Thank you for your ongoing support of the Club throughout the Season.

We loved your delicious scrolls and slices, as well as your Knott Rolls — the perfect base for the Pirates’ chicken schnitzel rolls and our hot dog rolls.

Thank you also for your incredible support in helping to staff our canteen and prepare over 900 lunches during the Australian Youth Championships in January.

And finally, thank you for your generous donation, which has enabled the Club to purchase a new display cabinet. This has allowed us to proudly showcase some of our 115 years of history in our clubrooms.

At Nicholson Real Estate we offer 60 years experience in inner city Real Estate with a different approach to marketing Real Estate. We are conscious of the fact that most people only go through the selling experience only a handful of times in a lifetime, therefore it can be a confusing and at times a challenging experience.

Unlike some of the larger agencies we treat you like an individual and don’t fit your property into a standard program. At Nicholson’s, the full compliment of management and staff are actively involved in the process of successfully marketing your property, from the initial planning of the marketing program, in consultations with yourselves, to the final handover of keys at settlement.

Our experience combined with a very personal approach to the whole marketing process, ensures you will reap the benefits of the Nicholson Difference.

Our Rental department is also second to none. With highly experienced staff members we find ourselves miles in front of our competitors.

Actively servicing: Fitzroy, Carlton, Brunswick, Preston, Northcote, Thornbury, Coburg, Reservoir, Thomastown and all surrounding suburbs.
