1st Generation

Jack's first office

It all started with Jack Barton and livestock.

Barton Commercial Property started as a livestock auction business back in 1938 and blossomed into a successful property company that spans across four generations. The business started with Jack Barton and became a very well known livestock auctioneer. Many listeners would tune in to listen to Jack’s auctions over the radio in Canberra and regional New South Wales.

2nd Generation

John Barton decided to follow in his dad's footsteps.

John Barton decided to help his dad from the early age at the auctions and would sometimes get in trouble for starting the bid at too low a price. At an early stage, John Barton got his own office in Yass where he started to focus more on real estate. At the age of 83 he still continues to sell property for his longstanding clients in the Hilltops district.
