We’re proud to share that Bx Realty founder Ellie Begg has been featured in Real Estate Business (REB), one of Australia’s leading real estate industry publications.
The feature, “From industry starter to agency founder in under two years”, tells the story behind Bx Realty — how Ellie went from her first days in real estate to opening her own agency on George Street, and the thinking that shapes how we work with Bathurst buyers and sellers today.
Honest advice, transparent fixed fees, and marketing that treats every property like it matters — because it does.
The idea behind Bx Realty
Starting an agency from scratch in under two years takes a clear idea of what clients actually want. For us that has always been simple — and it’s the standard behind every appraisal, every campaign, and every sale we handle in Bathurst and the Central West.

It’s the question we’re asked most by out-of-town buyers: is Bathurst a good place to invest? As locals who watch this market every day, here’s our honest take.
Regional markets move in cycles, and Bathurst is no exception — growth tends to come in runs rather than a straight line. Property here rewards a genuine long-term hold, careful street and property selection, and a realistic budget for maintenance on older housing stock. Buying well matters more than buying fast.
The difference between a good Bathurst investment and an average one is usually street-level knowledge: which pockets rent fastest, which streets flood-check clean, where owner-occupier demand will support your resale later. That’s knowledge you only get from being here.

You don’t need a renovation budget to lift your sale price. In our experience, these five jobs consistently return more than they cost — and most can be done in a few weekends.
Buyers form a view before they reach the front door — and in the age of online listings, before they leave the couch. Mow, edge, mulch, pressure-wash the driveway and paths, and give the front door and letterbox a fresh coat. First impressions are the cheapest value-add there is.
Nothing transforms a room for less. Stick to warm neutrals, do the ceilings if they’ve yellowed, and don’t forget scuffed skirting boards and door frames — details buyers notice without realising.
The dripping tap, the sticking door, the cracked tile, the blown light globe. Individually they’re trivial; together they whisper “this house hasn’t been looked after” and give buyers a reason to discount. Walk through with a notepad and knock the list over in a weekend.
Buyers need to imagine their own life in the space. Clear the benchtops, thin out the furniture so rooms breathe, box up the photo wall, and hire a storage unit for a month if you need to. Homes present bigger, brighter and better in photos — and photos are where the buying decision starts.
Clean every window inside and out, open the curtains, lift the blinds, and switch on lamps for inspections. Bright rooms feel bigger and happier, and in winter especially, warmth and light sell homes in Bathurst.
Want a second opinion on what’s worth doing before you list — and what isn’t? That’s exactly what our free appraisal covers. No obligation, no pressure, just honest local advice.
