Meet our dedicated team of Specialist Disability Accommodation providers

Perry Kleppe

Managing Director

Perry is the founding director of GR8 and his experience in property extends back to the mid-1990s. Prior to moving into property, he was in the affiliated roles of financial planning and finance broking, commencing in financial services with the AMP Society in March 1989 and later becoming one of the earliest licensed Finance Brokers in Western Australia. All of this early experience was steering Perry and GR8 (as was to become) into the very specialised area of property investment, and in time, building our dedicated team of Specialist Disability Accommodation Providers. From 2000 the main focus became project marketing and building the business of GR8 into what it has become today.

More recently Perry’s role has moved to business development and strategic planning which has seen the business shift to the complex but rewarding niche of NDIS and NRAS property investment. With NRAS coming to an end in 2026 and new NRAS entries now at a minimum, the introduction of NDIS is seen as the obvious transition and in keeping with GR8 Property’s identifying and exploring new niche markets and strategic opportunities.
