A Professional By Any Other Name, Wouldn’t Be The Same
There’s something about the brand name “Professionals” that just makes me feel great. The word itself has a great ring to it, but the brand it represents for me is more than just another company. It’s almost a way of life! I often hear Professionals members talking about how Professionals feels more like a family than a company, and I love the fact that every time there’s an event or get together, that it’s more than just colleagues talking to each other, it’s friends catching up.

I’ve spoken before about longevity in real estate and with some real estate agencies finding the current market tough to cope with, I thought I’d share some thoughts around one of Professionals’ members having now been in the same area for a quarter of a century.

As we wave goodbye to 2010 and start to get stuck into 2011, it gives me great pleasure in welcoming 3 new offices to our Professionals family who have opened over the Christmas and New Year break. Colin McGill who you would know as one of the characters from our Wagga Wagga office in NSW has brought the wonderful weather up to Queensland (no, I’m sure this wet weather isn’t all Col’s fault). Col and his family have recently has commenced the operation of Professionals Upper Coomera and Professionals Ormeau and we look forward to seeing...
