About Saxon Smith
Saxon Smith is a Director and Co-Founder of Higher Commercial and is widely regarded as one of South Australia's leading commercial real estate professionals.
After founding and successfully exiting a digital marketing business, Saxon transitioned into commercial real estate in 2019 and quickly established himself as a dominant force within the Adelaide market. Since 2020, he has been recognised as Realcommercial.com.au's Commercial Agent of the Year on three occasions, reflecting his consistent transaction success and industry-leading performance.
With expertise spanning commercial sales, leasing, property management and investment strategy, Saxon has built a reputation for delivering exceptional outcomes for investors, landlords, developers and owner-occupiers across South Australia. While highly regarded across all commercial asset classes, he is particularly known for his work within retail, industrial and CBD markets.
What sets Saxon apart is that he is not only an advisor to commercial property owners—he is an active investor himself. Through a substantial personal portfolio comprising interests in multiple commercial properties across South Australia, Saxon applies the same investment principles he recommends to his clients. This firsthand ownership experience provides him with a unique understanding of asset acquisition, leasing, value-add opportunities and long-term wealth creation through commercial property.
As a business owner, Saxon has also played a key role in building Higher Commercial into one of South Australia's fastest-growing independent commercial real estate agencies. His entrepreneurial mindset, combined with his practical experience as both an investor and operator, enables him to provide strategic advice that extends well beyond a traditional agency service.
Known for his market knowledge, negotiation skills and relentless work ethic, Saxon has become a trusted advisor to many of South Australia's most active commercial property investors. His commitment to delivering outstanding results, identifying opportunities and creating long-term value continues to set him apart within the industry.
Outside of real estate, Saxon enjoys fitness, travel and property investing, bringing the same energy, discipline and ambition to his personal pursuits as he does to his professional career.
