A leading real estate network has opened a new office, gaining further control of the Victorian market.
Barry Plant has opened a new office on Lygon Street in Brunswick.
The new office was established by Rocco Siciliano and David Devlin, joint directors of the Coburg and Pascoe Vale offices, and builds on the network’s already sizeable share of the Victorian market.
Mr Devlin said the office will provide more options for buyers looking to enter the greater Moreland area with a smaller investment.
“With rising property prices in nearby Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Carlton, many buyers are looking to Brunswick for better value,” he said.
“Brunswick offers many of the benefits of the nearby suburbs, but with a more affordable price tag.”
Both Mr Devlin and Mr Siciliano have lived and worked in the area for many years and bring their extensive knowledge of the inner north to the new office.
“Barry Plant has been servicing the Brunswick area since 1986,” said group CEO Mike McCarthy.
“During that time we have sold thousands of homes in the area. This office brings a focused, highly professional service to Brunswick.”
The Barry Plant Group claims over 10 per cent of the market share in Victoria.
According to its website, the agency is now the only real estate network to have four local offices in the City of Moreland.
The Barry Plant Group announced early this year that it would be rebranding its broking arm Barry Plant Financial Services to operate as Chapter Financial Group.
The rebranding came shortly after the announcement that Barry Plant would be partnering with franchise giant LJ Hooker.
The partnership makes the two networks Australia’s largest property managers, with a market share of 13.8 per cent.
