About us

One standard, since 1998.

Founded as a two-person office on Ashgrove Terrace, now four districts and forty advisors.

Our story

Fewer listings. Better outcomes.

We cap the number of homes each partner represents so every client receives genuine attention. It is why our homes sell faster and closer to asking than the market.

Twenty-eight years later the cap is still nine clients per partner, and the office is still on the same street.

What they say about us

Careers

We hire slowly, on purpose.

We take on four people a year, train them for two years, and pay a percentage from the day they place their first client. If you have sold property, written about it, or built it, we would like to talk.
