Independent buyers agency Johnson Property Co. has opened the doors of its new flagship office at 79 New Canterbury Road, Petersham, delivering one of the Inner West’s earliest street-front hubs for buyer representation.
“We want locals to feel they can pop in for five minutes of straight-shooting advice without booking a Zoom,” said Kristan Johnson, founder and principal buyers agent.
“A physical presence removes the mystery around what a buyers agent does and shows we’re here for the long haul.”
Why it matters Bricks-and-mortar gap: Buyers agents in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs have offered shopfront advice for years, but the Inner West is only now catching up—Johnson Property Co. is leading the charge with a walk-in Petersham hub.
Market momentum: Strong client demand has spurred the switch from home office to high-street frontage. Job creation: A second full-time buyers agent is already on board, with plans to expand the team over the next three years.
Community roots: Kristan and his family live locally and sponsor community sport, reinforcing hyper-local credentials. Storefront features Open-plan client lounge for informal drop-ins.
Private negotiation suite for on-the-spot bidding strategy sessions. Digital display showcasing recent off-market acquisitions.
