ONE AGENCY Marks 13th Office Launch in 2025, Expands Chester Hill Presence

ONE AGENCY has continued its rapid national expansion with the launch of a Chester Hill office, its 13th new location in 2025.

The move comes in the wake of the network’s international conference and the release of its proprietary industry app, reinforcing the group’s momentum in a competitive market.

The Chester Hill office is led by father-and-son team Joe and Michael Fares, who rebranded from a major national network to join ONE AGENCY.

Both are long-time operators in the region, combining decades of experience in sales and property management. Their reputation for reliability and consistent service has anchored their success in the local community.

The pair said that ONE AGENCY’s structure, with its transparent fee model and streamlined systems, made the decision to switch straightforward.

“Being part of an innovative and strong network along with a fair and balanced fee structure has made the move to ONE AGENCY a refreshing change,” Joe Fares said.

Another factor in the decision was the network’s investment in technology. ONE AGENCY has developed a proprietary hub, known as ONE PLACE, which provides members with media, marketing, PR and resource tools.

The platform has been credited with generating thousands of leads and simplifying day-to-day operations across the group.

Paul Davies, chief executive of ONE AGENCY, said the Chester Hill office reflects a broader trend of independent operators seeking alternatives to traditional models.

“We are seeing more and more ambitious professionals rebrand and thrive under the ONE AGENCY banner, and Joe and Michael Fares are a prime example,” Davies said.

"Their experience and commitment to their clients make them a strong addition to our group.”

Mindy Powell-Hodges, Global Head of Membership at ONE AGENCY, added that 2025 has become a defining year for the network.

“2025 is proving to be a landmark year for ONE AGENCY — 13 offices launched already, with more on the way.

Our growth shows that ambitious operators like Joe and Michael are seeking a fairer, smarter model, and we’re proud to be the network of choice for Australia’s most forward-thinking real estate professionals,” Powell-Hodges said.

The company’s expansion comes at a time when the real estate industry is undergoing significant change.

Shifts in consumer expectations, advances in digital marketing, and a growing appetite for flexible business models are reshaping how agencies position themselves in the marketplace.

With 13 offices launched in 2025 alone — and at least four more set to be announced in the coming weeks — ONE AGENCY is underscoring its claim as Australia’s fastest-growing real estate brand. Its strategy, built on innovation and independence, positions the group to remain at the forefront of these evolving industry dynamics.
