Franchise group opens city and country offices

Richardson & Wrench has expanded its footprint with three new offices added in the past two months.

The group has recently added two new Sydney offices – Hinchinbrook/Hoxton Park office on 15 February and Ryde City on 1 January.

It also strengthened its presence in regional NSW by opening a Bathurst office on 22 December.

The three new offices joined the network via different routes – one switched from a rival franchise, one transitioned from being an independent, and the other involved a partnership of five agents.

Executive director Andrew Cocks said Richardson & Wrench’s tailored franchise structure offers different levels of support for operators at different stages of the business cycle.

“This is a natural progression of R&W bespoke, which acknowledges that the one-size-fits-all franchise model does not suit everybody,” Mr Cocks said.

“We’re about attracting the best operators who share the R&W values and working with them to develop a structure that suits their circumstances and business goals.”

Mr Cocks said another attractive part of the Richardson & Wrench model is that it offers exclusive territories. The group has more than 120 territories operated by 102 offices.

Ryde houses jumped 34.4 per cent to $1.2 million, while units rose 6.5 per cent to $660,000.

Bathurst houses climbed 1.9 per cent to $322,000, while units grew 6.4 per cent to $261,000.
