Our History

PROGRESSIVE.

IT’S HOW WE STARTED.

 

Professionals was established in 1976 by six independent real estate agents who created a better way to work – together.

The organisation was registered as a not-for-profit marketing group with all fees going back to members through group-led marketing, training and support, without the constraints of a typical franchise.

This meant agents could keep their competitive and local independence as well as benefit from the support of our network and the Professionals brand.

The idea immediately connected, with 45 offices opening in the first five years. Beginning in Queensland, we spread to New Zealand, then expanded across Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea with our network now over 225 offices strong.

Professionals is still as innovative today as we were in 1976. And since then we’ve also established a reputation in support, empowerment and working together.

It’s something we’ve strived for over 40 years to build and every Professionals office and customer can depend on and benefit from it every day.
