News from One Agency Real Estate Group

One Agency News from Head Office – October 2013

We’re excited to announce that we now have more than 100 One Agency agents in Australia and are growing bigger every day – it’s a great to see our brand out there in competition with the big franchises.

We’d like to offer ONE big congratulations to our 3 businesses in the Illawarra just south of Sydney on the coast who recently featured 16 full pages in the local newspaper, the Illawarra Mercury –  One Agency Denison-Pender & Moore, One Agency Zeidler Hayman and One Agency Sally Absalom. They came only second to Ray White who have been long established in the region and have 9 large offices. 

The One Agency Head Office has recently moved to new premises in Brookvale – the  ‘Lifestyle Working Building’ . It’s a benchmark ‘green’ building that provides considerable energy and environmental savings whilst offering us fresh air, sunlight, creative spaces, health facilities and a great community to work within. Located at 117 Old Pittwater Rd, Brookvale, adjoining Warringah Mall, we’re loving our new home.

One Great Agent – Vanessa Denison-Pender

Each month we interview ONE of our members to discover their story and have them share their experience with us.

Under the spotlight this month is Vanessa Denison-Pender from One Agency Denison-Pender Property,  specialising in properties located from Stanwell Park to Woonona in the northern area of the Illawarra, NSW.

Vanessa has been in real estate for 10 years and she established her One Agency office just under 12 months ago, after being very active agents in the local area with leading franchises such as Ray White and McGrath.

What do you love about your work in real estate? What drives you?
I love real estate because you get to work with real people in real life situations, people needing homes for their families, downsizing their needs, accommodating the elderly, buying and renting investment properties etc. etc and so it goes on.  I love being part of my local community. 

What attracted you to the One Agency business model?
The simplicity of the model and knowing that I’ve been doing it so long now that it really was time to do it for myself.  The One Agency model is a perfect vehicle that allows established agents to take the next step and the people are so nice too!

How is the brand working for you?
It’s a great brand that people seem to be recognising as a new ‘boutique’ style of agency.  We keep a simple, hands-on approach.  Being business owners attention to detail and client care is our guiding principle.

Would you recommend One Agency to others?
Absolutely, if you’re thinking ‘I can do this for myself’ it’s probably time to do it. Back yourself and get on with it.  It’s a bit scary, but worth it.  You get to have a great business and even better lifestyle.  Instead of giving away 50% of your hard earned commission and selling twice as many homes, you can sell less and still earn the same amount!  As my partner says, ‘it’s a no brainer’.

What do you think keeps your prospective vendors awake at night when they are considering listing their property?
Will my agent give my property the service I’m looking for or just treat me a just another sale? How important is my business to them?

Bulli Burn

The One Agency Bulli Burn – May 26th 2013

The One Agency Bulli Burn is a 5 & 10km fun run held on the south coast of NSW starting and finishing at the northern tip of Bulli Beach, Sandon Point.

The ‘Burn’ comes from the hill that competitors must tackle at the very beginning and again at the finish of the run. The track follows the coastal strip from Bulli to Thirroul boasting exceptional views of the ocean and escarpment.

2011 was The Burn’s debut year and attracted over 300 entrants, it grew in 2012 and organisers now expect 2013 to be an even bigger successful community event. Catering for the experienced runner through to the novice, all are welcome to join in the fun.

The event has been sponsored by local real estate businesses; One Agency Denison-Pender Property, One Agency Sally Absalom and One Agency Zeidler & Hayman. The principals of these agencies – Vanessa Denison-Pender, Sally Absalom, Aron Hayman and Christian Zeidler enjoy a reputation as high achievers. Engaging and highly energetic, they are known for their marketing and negotiating skills. Above all else, they bring a wealth of experience and skill to their roles as principals in their own One Agency businesses.

This year the 5km event has been named the ‘Burn for Mark’ and is dedicated to 2011’s winner Mark Scott who is currently recovering from a serious cycling accident which happened in June 2011. $5 from every registration at this year’s Bulli Burn go to the Mark Scott Trust Fund & will assist in the ongoing care and treatment for Mark and support for his young family.
