Who is The Agency
Group Australia
We are disrupting the real-estate industry by being one of the
first fully integrated real estate and financial services company.
We use property transactions and/or financing events to review
and service a client’s complete finance and wealth
requirements.
We capture clients at the start of a property and/or financing
event and assist them with all the ancillary services - resulting in
cross selling opportunities that increase revenue and
strengthen the client relationship.
Each of these services not only add revenue but also create
value in growth of assets such as rent rolls, mortgage book, risk
book and a general insurance book.
An additional benefit is the creation of a highly detailed and
large database of clients.

Sell Lease Property acquisition – strategic reason
Agent recruitment drives revenue growth
• Caters to the different requirements of sales representatives:
o The Agency: high-level support and exclusive marketing areas
o SLP: online support and unrestricted marketing areas
• SLP acquisition opens the door to sales reps requiring low level support (Previously, The
Agency has turned away a high number of agents as it didn’t offer this service)
• SLP acquisition will provide approx. 100 sales representatives immediately
• The Agency have met with most SLP agents and will offer new contracts with a
commission model with similar margins to The Agency
• SLP agents will have the same referral requirements in terms of settlement services,
mortgage broking and property management which is expected to double transactions
Unique technology platform
• Provides access to SLP’s unique technology platform which manages support and the
entire transaction process at a low unit cost

Why The Agency
“Brands don’t sell houses people do” - Focus is on the Agent rather than
the brand
The “right noise” – Fastest growing real estate business in Australia by
Domain.
The model - unique and difficult to replicate for existing franchisors and
independent brands
The right management - experts in the real estate space {Matt Lahood,
Steven Chen, Andrew Jensen (prev CFO Ray White Group for 8 years)}
Start up and infancy, with upside - competitors are looking at options to
retain (reduce churn) or recruit in a difficult and competitive market
Significant revenue upside – yet to open offices in Melbourne, Brisbane
or Adelaide
Clear strategy and direction for growth - recruitment of top performing
agents and mortgage brokers
