Damian Coad Launches One Agency Inner East amidst Network Expansion

One Agency continues its strategic growth with the launch of One Agency Inner East, servicing the City of Boroondara region in Melbourne’s inner east. The new office, led by seasoned property professional Mr Damian Coad, marks the second Victorian opening for the network this year. This expansion is part of a broader acceleration that saw a record 24 offices join the network in 2025 and an additional 10 slated to launch nationally in the first quarter of 2026.

Mr Coad's transition to business ownership is a calculated move by an industry expert who has successfully operated under the One Agency banner since 2024. His career, which began in 1998, is distinguished by significant achievements, including negotiating more than 1,000 property transactions and earning nominations for industry accolades such as ‘Salesperson of the Year’ with his former Australasian group.

"Transitioning to business ownership with One Agency is a natural evolution. The brand’s model provides the structural support and autonomy needed to elevate the service I provide to my clients," said Mr Damian Coad, Director of One Agency Inner East.

A key differentiator for Mr Coad is his extensive, hands-on knowledge of property development and construction. Having personally undertaken 11 property investment and renovation projects, he offers clients a level of insight that transcends traditional real estate services. 

This practical expertise is further solidified by a Diploma of Building and Construction, with Mr Coad currently completing his requirements to become a licensed builder. This multi-faceted skill set provides a significant advantage for property owners navigating matters of town planning, renovation and construction.

"My experience as an agent, developer, and renovator gives me a holistic understanding of property value. I enjoy applying this comprehensive perspective to achieve outstanding results for property owners throughout the inner east region of Melbourne.”

Mr Paul Davies, Founder and CEO of One Agency, commented on the new office opening; "Damian exemplifies the calibre of professionals thriving within our network. His move to business ownership is a testament to both his ambition and the efficacy of our model."

"Having deep expertise in sales and construction provides immense value to clients, and I am confident One Agency Inner East will become a market leader under Damian’s direction."

One Agency Inner East is servicing property owners throughout Melbourne’s inner-eastern suburbs and is set to deliver the same reputation for results and excellence that the community has come to expect.
