Victorian real estate network BigginScott has paid tribute to its founder, Kevin (Frederick) Biggin, who passed away on 28 July 2025, just shy of his 89th birthday.
The company described Biggin as “the beating heart” of the business, remembering him as both a pioneering professional and a mentor who helped shape the culture of the brand.
Biggin began his career as a 19-year-old collecting rents by bicycle across Melbourne suburbs before becoming one of the city’s most respected real estate figures.
In the mid-1960s, he forged a partnership with Barry and Lou Arnold that would eventually evolve into BigginScott, with his vision and people-first approach laying the foundation for the network’s growth.
“Kevin taught us that real estate isn’t about properties – it’s about people,” BigginScott director Tom McCarthy said.
“He’d light up talking about the young couple who just bought their first home, and you could tell he was thinking about his own journey – from that kid on a bike to helping families find their dreams. That passion, that genuine care for our clients’ stories, that’s Kevin’s greatest gift to all of us.”
Colleagues said Biggin combined professional excellence with a down-to-earth style, ensuring the business stayed connected to local communities while embracing innovation.
From his early days as a Queensland jackaroo and square dance caller to leading one of Melbourne’s best-known real estate brands, Biggin leaves behind a legacy of integrity, partnership, and service.
He is remembered as an industry leader who transformed not only a company, but the lives of generations of Melbourne families.
