One Agency Founder & CEO, Paul Davies visited New Zealand earlier this month, with John Stewart, a former industry leader across the Tasman, who spearheads the roll out of the brand and the One Agency Licenses into NZ.
They toured between the four main centres; Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin over five days and met with 21 groups of real estate agents interested in the One Agency Licenses.
“It was an absolute whirlwind tour for us and great to get back to my home country. The brand is generating a huge amount of interest over there with the business model striking a timely chord with agents and office owners reviewing their share of retained income against the value delivered by their present employer or network,” says John.
There are two licensees already up and running since the Spring launch across the Tasman, with another five undergoing the set-up process. Three additional new members with licenses in place areas are about to commence setup.
“We’re able to offer a rapid turnaround once the paperwork is in place. We’ve had offices ready and listing property within a couple of weeks, such is the simplicity of the model driven by head office and our business partners,” he says.

Eight further licensed areas are working through the final legal engagement process and a similar number are completing due diligence leading towards formal engagement.
The pair ran to an extremely tight schedule, but still managed to take in some of the beautiful local scenery. One of the biggest highlights was seeing the final fit-out almost complete at One Agency The Hall Property Group, the first flagship office in New Zealand, opened by the Rob, Teresa & Martin Hall in Warkworth.
“Another highlight for me was an early morning walk through the university precinct in Dunedin, my alma mater and hometown. Plus Paul finally got to try authentic Bluff oysters in Dunedin and Warkworth and was clearly delighted by the world famous molluscs!”
One Agency is based around a license to operate approach rather than onerous and costly franchise or co-operative models. The brand now has over 100 licensees across Australia, surpassing a number of major traditional franchises and is regarded as the fastest growing network in Australia.
The market-leading brand attracts high performing agents wanting to establish their own business as well as experienced Principals seeking more operational flexibility and lower operating costs.
