Mal Hamblin and James Aubusson deliver a powerful combination of local expertise, professionalism, and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their property goals. Working alongside Ryan McFarland and Jackie Dellar, they provide a seamless, full-service experience to buyers and sellers across the Northern Rivers.
Mal, a Lennox Head and Ballina local since 1981, has witnessed the transformation of Lennox village from a population of just 800 to the thriving seaside community it is today. With unmatched local knowledge, he is an invaluable asset in guiding clients through their real estate transactions. After a successful career in hospitality, Mal transitioned to real estate in 2014, bringing with him a warm, nurturing approach and a genuine commitment to client care.
With a deep family connection to the region, James grew up in East Ballina and attended St John’s College Woodlawn before embarking on a stellar seven-year NRL career, playing at the highest level for the Sydney Roosters and Melbourne Storm. After pivoting from elite sports to the automotive industry, he excelled as an award-winning sales professional before finding his natural fit in real estate. James brings meticulous attention to detail, a high-energy approach, and an unwavering commitment to delivering the best possible client experience. James and his young family live in beautiful Skennars Head and embrace everything the Northern Rivers lifestyle has to offer.
Together, Mal and James are a trusted team who combine local insight, energy, and professionalism, helping their clients navigate the property market with confidence and achieve exceptional results.

Mal kept me in the loop at all times without ever overdoing things. Everything went efficiently & smoothly & for me there was no hassle or stress during the process. It was a very difficult, atypical deceased estate sale, which Mal treated with dignity and respect. I believe his dealings with prospective buyers went a long way towards achieving a sale price above expectations.

Just when you think they couldn't be more genuine, transparent, knowledgeable, or professional, they do something more exceptional that goes such a long way to make a big purchase feel even easier. Always going above and beyond for the client, Mal knows the area better than anyone and his passion and love for Lennox comes out in everything he does and every interaction he has. Won't find better agents in the area.

Beginning with my first phone call when we were standing outside the property and all through the process. We were able to view the home within minutes of us making the call. When I decided to purchase and pay the deposit all the staff swung into action and made things happen for us. There appears to be great teamwork going on! A huge thank you for your personal attention, I really feel that you made this deal

We have never bought a house before as we built our first home in Leonay 46 years ago and were completely bamboozed by all the sales/purchasing stuff that was entailed in the purchase of our new home. Mal always had a smile and liaised with us every step of the way. The whole purchase process was smooth sailing (except for Optus, but that’s another storey) and well managed by Mal and the Elders team. Thanks Mal.
