PERTH real estate agent Brian McKiernan has joined national real estate network @realty.
McKiernan is the former operations manager and national recruitment manager of Sell Lease Property, which was acquired in December 2017 by The Agency Group.
At the time of acquisition, Sell Lease Property was recognised as the number one real estate agency in Western Australia by listings sold in 2015/2016.
McKiernan said he made the move to @realty, which has recruited more than 500 agents nationwide in just four years, to continue to operate independently with the support of an administrative team.
“After the acquisition of Sell Lease I spoke to a number of agents in Perth and @realty was recommended by a friend who said the company was different to others because it has the best interests of agents at heart,” he said. “I will still be able to operate independently, with no restrictions on regions, but the difference is I will have back-end administrative support from @realty and, from what I have seen, their systems and processes are excellent,”
Meanwhile McKiernan said the Perth market is in a recovery phase.
“It’s no secret that we are not in stride with the east coast – and that’s why it’s even more crucial than ever to choose an agent who understands the local market and takes a tailored approach for each listing.
“Having said that, there is plenty to be optimistic about, with the economy improving and projected population growth looking solid, paving the way for growth in the market over the coming years,” he added.
@realty director JJ Taylor said it is a coup to have experienced agents like McKiernan on board.
“Our 500 agents have an average 9.6 years of experience, which shows that we are attracting some of the best in the industry.” Taylor said.
