From chemistry to real estate, Adam Vernon has built a thriving life in Mosman.
Local Life
Sixteen years ago, Adam Vernon and his family made Mosman their home. Fast forward to now, and the Vernons are preparing for their fifth move within the local area. They’ve just sold their family home on Cowles Road and purchased another house they will be renovating.
Adam has seen the community evolve firsthand. “It seems Mosman is getting younger,” he reflects. “There are more families and school kids than when we first arrived. With that, new shops have opened to cater to the younger demographic, and the local café and dining scene has really lifted. There’s a vibrancy now that just keeps getting stronger.”
But beyond the shops and restaurants, it’s Mosman’s unique blend of lifestyle and location that Adam treasures. “We’re blessed to live here. From the beaches and foreshore walks to easy access to the city by ferry or bus, it really has everything you need. And the people are just lovely - it’s a wonderful community.”
Work Life
Today, Adam is recognised as one of Mosman’s leading real estate agents, heading up his own agency, Vernon Partners. But his career path wasn’t always set on property. With a PhD in Chemistry, Adam first forged a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, eventually becoming Managing Director of a large multinational company.
Still, something was missing. Adam and his wife decided it was time for a life and career change - and Mosman was the place to do it. “We wanted something different, something that allowed us to live and work in a community we loved”. The couple threw themselves into real estate, building their careers together from the ground up.
Adam’s background as a property investor, renovator, and has even built in cities like Perth, Melbourne and Sydney gave him a strong foundation. Now, that experience, combined with his keen eye for detail and business leadership skills, has helped him carve out a reputation as a trusted and highly effective agent.
On the Market
When asked about the Mosman’s property market, Adam describes it as consistently strong. “Mosman is a big suburb, and there are always different dynamics in different pockets. But overall, the area enjoys positive property growth year-on-year. Mosman will always be an aspirational, destination suburb, which means continued growth for owners.”
For those buying or selling, Adam has clear advice when it comes to choosing the right agent. “Negotiation is the number one quality you should look for - that’s what you’re paying for. Work ethic and a willingness to go above and beyond are just as important. Let’s face it, anybody can run open homes. What matters is how your agent works with buyers beyond that. Negotiation is a skill; you can’t rely on an auction alone.”
