The Agency reported that property management across the group continues to grow, with 4,324 properties under management at 31 March 2019.

“The group continues to explore a number of opportunities to expand its property management portfolio and leverage off its existing scale,” it said.

Of the Top Level acquisition, the company said it is has seen “significant” benefits during the March quarter.

“The acquisition has been transformative for the company as the network has now expanded to 277 sales representatives across nine offices in key markets including Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, with plans for further expansion of its Western Australian operations on the horizon.

“The company now boasts 4,324 properties under management, 1,040 listings and a mortgage finance book of loans outstanding in excess of $1.2 billion.”

The Agency also reported that it anticipates that a number of other reputable businesses will look to join the national brand.

“The company’s approach to acquisitions will be very selective and will only consider those real estate firms which are significantly value-accretive to the business.”
