One Agency

10 years

Real estate industry disruptor Paul Davies is the founder and CEO of One Agency.

“Our network grew quietly through the post GFC period, hitting its straps over the past four to five years and now boasts members in all states and territories along with a strong contingent in New Zealand,” says Davies.

Late 2017 saw the informal roll-out of three sister brands, focusing on specialists in rural, commercial and projects marketplaces.

“It’s been an incredible journey over the past decade,” he says, “I’ve worked in real estate for more than 45 years, have owned both franchises and independent agencies and so when we launched One Agency I knew exactly what real estate business owners would want and need; I had been my own prospective customer.”

Paul’s wife Annie suggested to Paul that he should replicate his business model for other agents who were complaining about the cost of operating their businesses. She said, “Why not add a brand to it and keep it all economical?”

So they backed their dream, sold their home and put energy, belief and hard work into the business. “We are now an overnight success after 10 years,” he says.

Davies keeps a close eye on the bottom line. ”It’s not what you make that counts, it’s how much is left after expenses that is the only measure.”

One Agency has plans to be a strong International brand.
