A modern leader in luxury real estate

KIM JONES’s career has always been intertwined with Australian real estate’s most exacting end of the market—but what distinguishes her story is how deliberately she has used that inheritance to build something modern, female-led, and benchmark-setting in its own right.

As the daughter of Sydney real estate identities Bill and Di Jones, Kim’s grounding in property was not theoretical; it was lived, observed, and refined over decades in an industry where reputation is earned transaction by transaction.

That legacy begins in Woollahra, where the DiJones name became synonymous with boutique service and a premium Eastern Suburbs sensibility.

Di Jones herself is widely credited as a trailblazer who recognised—well before the industry caught up—that women are often central decision-makers in the sale and purchase of a home, and she built an agency model that treated that influence as commercially important rather than incidental.

Kim grew up around that standard: high-touch client management, rigorous negotiation, and a belief that outcomes follow preparation.

Kim’s next chapter was not a departure from the DiJones ethos so much as its evolution. Today, she leads Kim Jones & Co across the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers, positioning the business squarely in prestige property where discretion, marketing craft, and buyer networks matter as much as price.

With more than three decades of experience, she has been recognised as a past finalist for the Telstra Woman of the Year award and is consistently ranked among the nation’s top-performing agents—an outcome that reflects both commercial discipline and sustained leadership.

Results, in Kim’s world, are not vague promises. They are measurable records. She is a Northern Rivers record holder across Coopers Shoot, Bangalow, Nashua, Tuckombil, Uralba, Cabarita, and Clunes, and continues to hold multiple longstanding sales records across many Sydney suburbs.

These outcomes are not anomalies or market-driven windfalls; they are the product of structured campaign strategy, a formidable network of high-net-worth buyers, and a negotiation style that balances precision with trust.

As Kim has said, “My parents set the example and their success inspires me.

It is commitment and tenacity which builds a reputation and ensures a happy client.”

What makes Kim especially compelling in a Women in Business lens is how she translates high performance into a repeatable standard—without losing the human intelligence that made the DiJones model distinctive in the first place.

She combines commercial intensity with a rare nurturing approach: clear communication, calm counsel under pressure, and an unwavering focus on protecting the client experience. In an industry still too quick to romanticise “instinct,” she represents something more valuable: discipline, empathy, process, and courage—applied consistently. That standard is now being deliberately carried forward into the next generation.

Kim is leading her two sons into the market within a company that is unequivocally female-led, actively guiding how they work in real estate so their practice reflects the ethos Di Jones pioneered—respect, emotional intelligence, accountability, and excellence—rather than the transactional shortcuts that still persist in parts of the industry.

It is leadership by design: shaping culture, not just outcomes.

From Woollahra roots to Northern Rivers prominence, Kim Jones has translated legacy into leadership—and leadership into record-setting results.

Just as importantly, she is setting the tone for what the next chapter of prestige real estate can look like: values-led, client-first, and built to endure.
