Rural real estate agents, licenced auctioneers and agribusiness experts
Adcock Partners Property and Livestock is a rural real estate and livestock agency that prides itself on delivering value far beyond transactional services. Because to get the best results in this rapidly evolving industry, you need more than that: you need market intelligence, agribusiness connections, and a business partner who’ll champion your interests from enquiry to exchanging signatures.
That’s what you get when you partner with us.
We’re more than just an agile and flexible transactional agency business: we connect buyers and sellers in rural markets and add value with our experience, knowledge and relationships. Our clients look to us for strategic input and advice as well as solutions. We pride ourselves on acting as partners in their businesses, leveraging our connections across all market segments and tailoring sales methodologies to help our clients achieve the best price for specifications.
Whether it’s working with producers to achieve income targets or marketing an agricultural enterprise to get the best possible returns, we’re dedicated to our clients’ success.
Adcock Partners Property and Livestock’s story began as an ambitious team of three agribusiness professionals. Rural agents Andrew Adcock, Michael Spencer and Sam Bartlett joined forces to form a proud and productive partnership. Together, their knowledge and experience covered all aspects of rural property and livestock, sales, and marketing.
Since that inception, we’ve worked hard to constantly evolve to provide an exceptional level of service to Australia’s rural industry. We’ve expanded from Queensland to serve the New South Wales and Northern Territory markets, bringing on widely respected agents Nick Hall in Walcha and Pat Burke in Katherine.
Though distributed around Australia, we work as a team, pooling decades of experience, knowledge and skills across different markets, methodologies and specifications to get results.
Today, we have an established, loyal and highly valued network of clients and partners. It’s by the number and quality of our ongoing relationships, along with our reputation for integrity, empathy and trust, that we define our success.
Our values are the framework of attitudes that drive everything we do.
Honesty and integrity matter. Our partnership is forged by telling the truth and doing the right thing, even when nobody’s watching.
We embrace change as both a challenge and opportunity in our rapidly evolving industry. Our agile and flexible agency services are designed around making things happen for you.
We’re proud to be a partnership both by name and by nature. We strive to honour and support our partnership with practical decisions and honest communication.
We work hard to consistently evolve and improve our knowledge, skills and relationships to provide an exceptional level of service to Australia’s rural industry.
We see ourselves as trusted partners in our clients’ business. We act in their best interests and define our success by theirs.

With 10 years in the agricultural industry focusing on the channel country of western Queensland, Sam’s career has already seen him work for and with leading corporates in the rural sector. And with a full tank of enthusiasm for the communities and sectors he serves, it’s not slowing down any time soon.
Sam’s passion and excitement for the rural industry is infectious, driving him to gain experience across different sectors, build strong business relationships, and continually deliver outstanding results for his clients. While his expertise in livestock markets alone makes him well respected in the industry, Sam’s work in rural property sales represents a significant contribution to major property sales in the channel country over the last five years.
Away from work Sam enjoys time with his young family, including wife Courtney and beautiful daughter Sadie. Sam is also the President of the Quilpie Diggers Race Club and enjoys being an active part of the community in which he lives.

Born and raised on large cattle stations and starting his career on large-scale pastoral operations in Queensland and the Northern Territory, Pat Burke is no stranger to the livestock industry.
Having returned to the Territory to work on stock camps after boarding school, Pat spent a decade gaining valuable hands-on experience working in stock camps and in live export operations. Following a voyage on a live-export vessel Pat was offered a role with one of Australia’s largest live export businesses, deepening his understanding of all aspects of the live export supply chain.
From operations and compliance to sales and procurement, Pat knows the challenges our clients face – and what it takes to overcome them to realise the best possible returns.
Bringing both passion and unrivalled experience with him, Pat joined the Adcock Partners Property and Livestock team in 2020 and has since grown a strong client base and network of business relationships. Based in Katherine, Pat will service Northern Australia.

During his 23 years in the agribusiness marketing, Nick Hall worked in saleyards, stud sales, and rural real estate agencies before joining the Adcock Partners Property and Livestock team in 2020. Having grown up on the land in Laggan, New South Wales among sheep and cattle, Nick doesn’t just work in the industry – he lives and breathes it.
His casual work on pastoral operations, combined with a long and successful tenure in management with Elders, gives Nick the practical experience and strategic insights needed to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.
Starting at Elders in Walcha in 1999, Nick soon rose to Branch Manager and eventually Area Manager, a role that saw him successfully manage 14 branches throughout Northern NSW for five years. His work as Feedlot Buyer for Killara Feedlot during 2019/20, sourcing up to 50,000 cattle per year to supply both the export and domestic markets, remains one of Nick’s career highlights.
Client-focused and driven to deliver the accountability, reliability and results rural enterprise owners deserve, Nick returned to sales in 2020. Nick enjoys building long-term relationships with his clients to help grow their business and achieve their strategic goals.
Now based in Walcha, Nick serves all of New South Wales and enjoys sport, travel, fishing, water skiing and spending time with his wife and three children outside of work.
