Our Story

Shire Agents was born out of a passion for real estate and a commitment to the community. The founders of the agency, saw a need for a more personalised and transparent approach to real estate in the Shire. They believed that buying or selling a property should be a stress-free and an enjoyable experience, and that every client deserved to be treated with honesty, integrity, and respect.

With this vision in mind, Shire Agents was founded in 1995 as Shire First National. Over the plus years, the agency built a reputation for excellence, becoming one of the most trusted names in the Shire real estate market. However, in 2022, the agency underwent a rebranding to Shire Agents, to reflect the agency's evolution and commitment to the community.

At Shire Agents, we believe that real estate is more than just a transaction; it's about helping people find their dream home, investment or sell their property to move onto the next chapter of their lives. Our experienced team of agents knows that every client has unique needs and goals, and we take the time to understand these needs to provide tailored solutions.

With access to the latest market data, technology and marketing strategies, we ensure our clients receive a comprehensive and cutting-edge approach to real estate. We use a range of digital platforms to showcase properties, ensuring they reach the largest possible audience.

We pride ourselves on our customer-centric approach, and we are committed to building lasting relationships with our clients. At Shire Agents, our focus is not just on selling and managing properties, but on creating memorable experiences for our clients.

We look forward to assisting you with your real estate needs and being your partner in your next property journey. Come and see what sets us apart.

The preparation of your property for leasing and high quality marketing is the doorway to achieving the best rental price possible. The right preparation ensures that your property is best dressed when it hits the market of available tenants.

The modern approach to property marketing that we use creates energy around your investment property, attracting the best tenants early in the campaign. We believe that every property should have the opportunity to rent for the highest price possible and so every property under our care is presented to the market for maximum impact.

Whether tenant enquiry is sourced on-line or off-line, our office is able to capture those important tenant leads and convert them to inspections at your investment property.

We begin working with tenants, pre-inspection, to educate them on the terms of the lease that is on offer as well as the expectations and obligations that belong to tenants in preparation for a successful tenancy.

After a successful inspection, we seek feedback and drive the opportunity for suitable tenants to submit their application, or offer, in order to get your property rented, sooner. Once those applications are received, our office performs the most stringent of background checks available under the law. 

It is the work we do here, before your property hits the market that sets us apart from any other agent.

Once you have selected your preferred tenant, we begin our work, in partnership with you, to create a rewarding experience as an investment property owner.

From our experience, we know that successful property management is the blend of asset, financial, landlord, tenant and crisis event management strategies geared at generating an income for the property owner while appreciating the capital value of an investment property, over time.

Access and transparency are at the keystones of our successful track record in building long term relationships with our clients.

We want you to stay connected with your property at a level that is comfortable for you and you can set the level of contact and representation from us that is right for you.

With our office, tenants contribute to the success of their tenancy and we proactively engage tenants with the education and encouragement that they need to participate and enjoy their renting experience.

Co-operation with and consensus from tenants equates to a smoother landlord experience and tenants who feel engaged in their tenancy are much better guardians of an investment property.

Proactive asset management, in this context, provides a modern approach to maintenance and repairs that has visibility and accountability for tenants, landlords, trades and Property Managers. Risk, capital, return and compliance sit within this area of practice where our office works to creates profit for you in the appreciating capital value of your asset over time, and also to protect those profits with sound advice and the temperance of risk and return.

You can expect simple and easy communication around money matters. Clear and well explained financial procedures and systems take the anxiety out of appointing professional management and builds trust and relationships throughout the property investment journey.

This kit contains an example of a month accounting statement so that you can identify clear levels of income and expense.

We also compile all of your financial documents throughout the year so that they are centralised and ready for the end of financial year.

Sometimes events can occur that are beyond anyone's control.

While no property manager can control events, we take every step to control the controllable to ensure that the tenancy at your rental property is smooth sailing.

In the event that something does come occur, experience counts. Our professional and measured response in any crisis is the important deliverable you need for peace of mind.

Our property managers are skilled in negotiation and dispute resolution and have specialised training in acute response management for any situation.

The end of a tenancy can be a critical time and it is a key indication of the health of a tenancy and our performance as your property managers.

We start the finalisation of a tenancy with a tenant education process and we help to facilitate tenants to fulfill their obligations.

A well guided exit process creates a smooth transition to a new tenancy. A simple and cooperative handover process at the end of a tenancy cuts down on vacancy in between tenancies, so it can get back to being an income property for you soon.

If you are ready for a proactive approach to property management, we would love to talk to you about our fresh ideas and solutions for your investment property.
