One Agency looks back on another record breaking year across Australia & New Zealand as we enter the festive season.

“We are also celebrating our arrival in Fiji,” says Paul Davies, CEO & Founder, “with three offices pioneering the brand into the South Pacific region.”

Fiji is seen now as a stable internal real estate market and remains a very popular destination for overseas owners, especially in the Nadi, Lautola, Ba, Raki Raki western quadrant and on some of the many islands in and beyond the Mamanuca Group. One Agency will be represented by offices in Lautoka, Nadi and Flagstaff, in Suva.

“Our expansion across Australasia this past twelve months has been based around a mix of existing members expanding their businesses,” says Mr.Davies, “the arrival of market-leading agents wishing to remove themselves from the operating and income restrictions of larger offices and work alone, plus a substantial number of former franchisees and independent offices.”

“Of real note is the size and calibre of offices seeking to join us and these invariably create interest in similar nearby businesses who obviously watch their competitors! All up we can now boast over two hundred licenses allocated,” he says.

Amongst the innovations the company has delivered to its network this year is a members’ website holding templates of all of the brand collateral including stationery, property and agent advertising, marketing templates, reports, booklets and roadside signage. Members freely access the site, choose the required template, add their detail and send to printers, the media or signwriters. Another site carries all the company’s promotional materials that members can now purchase online.

A popular information-sharing, issue-resolving and referral tool, our members’ private Facebook Group, has again proved valuable to the network. A separate New Zealand Facebook Group was created early in the year to focus on Kiwi issues.
