    Former REIT Executive Joins One Agency

    One Agency is proud to announce the opening of its newest office, One Agency Upchurch Real Estate, led by real estate industry veteran Mr Marcus James (Jim) Upchurch. With over three decades of property industry experience spanning real estate sales, residential construction, and home design, Mr Upchurch’s extensive career provides him with a unique and holistic understanding of the property lifecycle, from initial concept to final sale. 

    This rare combination of experience and sales acumen provides Mr Upchurch with an unmatched perspective that benefits sellers, buyers, and developers alike. The alignment in expertise allows him to combine his vast industry knowledge with the innovative and flexible framework provided by One Agency, ensuring that every client receives tailored solutions and high-quality outcomes.

    "Joining One Agency allows me the autonomy to shape my business the way I need to with a brand that champions agent empowerment and profitability," said Mr Upchurch, Principal and Licensee of One Agency Upchurch Real Estate. 

    “I’m excited by what this means for my clients, in that I can more readily focus my efforts on providing the best possible service and achieving the best possible result.”

    Based in Geelong for more than 18 years, Mr Upchurch is a dedicated local, living in the region with his wife and two children. He will be servicing property owners in Newcomb, Breakwater, St Albans Park, and surrounding areas, where his deep community ties and understanding of the local market offer a clear advantage to clients.

    "My approach has always been centred on providing clear, honest advice and simplifying complex processes for my clients. One Agency enables me to elevate that service, offering the agility of a local expert backed by the power of an international network. I am excited to help people achieve their property goals with the integrity and in-depth market knowledge they deserve."

    Mr Upchurch is recognised for his professional involvement in both the local community and the real estate industry, including serving as the former President of the BNI Geelong Bay City Chapter and as a past Executive Committee Member of the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania.

    Mr Paul Davies, CEO and Founder of One Agency, commented on the new office opening, "We are thrilled to welcome Jim Upchurch to the One Agencyfamily. His extensive, 360-degree understanding of the property industry is a tremendous asset not only to his clients but to our entire network.” 

    “Jim’s dedication to his clients and his proven track record of delivering strong results perfectly embody the values we stand for. I’m confident his expertise will continue to enhance our presence in the region.” 

    One Agency Upchurch Real Estate will specialise in residential sales, providing expert vendor communication backed by deep industry and market knowledge.
