Our Name

Our name, Values Based Solutions, says a great deal about what we believe in, aspire to and strive hard to deliver.

First and foremost we are about delivering business property solutions. It is important to us that these solutions don’t just meet, but well and truly exceed clients’ expectations. We value our client relationships extremely highly and feel privileged to be able to apply our property expertise in a way that helps clients implement successful strategies, decisions and negotiations that are of high importance to their business success.

We also recognise that different businesses have their own culture and values. It is a widely held belief that the best business decisions are underpinned by an adherence to an organisation’s values. One of the cornerstones of our approach to providing business property solutions is to ensure we understand our clients’ values. We believe this helps us to ensure our advice is right for our clients.

Just as importantly from our perspective, we aspire to be a values based organisation. The values based concept has many facets, but for us it essentially comes back to respecting and valuing our clients, suppliers, staff and community. We do this through:

  • Ensuring we always remain focused on our clients, work hard for them and strive for excellence in everything we do;

  • Building strong relationships with suppliers and helping them, where we can, if they consistently exceed our expectations;

  • Providing staff with an environment and the tools to achieve success, as well as the understanding and flexibility to ensure their life outside of work receives the attention it needs;

  • Celebrating success with all parties who contribute to great results;

  • Supporting our community through donating both fund’s and our time, where it can be of assistance to community focused organizations.

We believe that the above principles will provide a template to help us achieve our business goals and contribute to the success and well being of our stakeholders.
