Introducing One Agency
By thinking outside the square, Paul Davies developed the One Agency licensing model, providing the perfect opportunity for agency owners or sales agents to embrace business ownership. Unifying their own trading identity with a respected and recognisable International network, established 2008, now 700+ strong across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. The model allows owners to cost-effectively set up and operate a One Agency business, with or without an office premises, and, most importantly, keep 100% of their fees.
One Agency is a breakthrough in thinking … a revolution in property. Many established agents would love the opportunity to move their business away from the constraints of the typical franchise operation, which is restrictive and expensive, and retain all of their fees. Similarly, independent businesses often look to become part of a broader real estate network which offers camaraderie, support from fellow agents and advanced marketing and prospecting tools.
One Agency is a solution to both of these scenarios. Featuring a single affordable monthly administration fee, (no other ongoing fees) the One Agency model removes the usual complexities and cost when starting or rebranding a business which have traditionally been barriers.
One Agency founder, Paul Davies has been in the real estate industry since 1972, initially as a leading sales agent working for a principal, giving up 50% of his income to the agency. He then owned a number of successful boutique agencies and national franchises including Ray White and PRDnationwide. Paul found that large operating costs consumed profitability and were a constant threat to survival of the agency.

What the industry says about us
One Agency has been recognised by the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales for it’s innovation and has developed a reputation based on successful results.
“Paul has shown great leadership in helping agents to build profitable real estate businesses. One Agency allows people who want to have control over their destiny to work independently and yet also receive the many benefits of being part of a group, with the backing of a national brand. It differs from other models by allowing the flexibility of being either a smaller one-person boutique agency or a larger operation, whatever you desire.”
> Tom Panos, One of Australia’s leading real estate coaches
“One Agency offered the opportunity to showcase my name within the brand, combined with a unique, fresh and professional image. This foundation offered flexibility without the major set-up costs and a smooth and quick transition allowing me to get on with what I do best!”
> Joanne Vines, One Agency member
“Paul Davies has not only provided a fantastic business model, but the follow through and generous ongoing support that he has given us has been extremely valuable — and above and beyond what we expected.”
> Chris Naylor, One Agency member
“I must say I am impressed with how professional you have presented “One Agency” and the outstanding services you provide to any prospective person wanting to start their own agency.”
> Rod Cartledge, The real estate trainer & coach
“Most real estate businesses run on a profit margin of less than 20%, many less than 10%. You wonder how they can survive if they’re paying their franchisor anything up to 15%. I really enjoyed speaking with One Agency CEO, Paul Davies. There’s a fresh and exciting energy here and it’s not hard to see why. One Agency is a comprehensive real estate business model whose time has come. A proven formula that produces awesome results at a fraction of the cost charged by the larger franchises and is attracting some of the best agents and offices in Australasia.”
> Ray Wood, Host & Presenter Top Agents Playbook
“There are no doubt hundreds of salespeople nationwide extremely capable of running their own agency successfully.
One Agency gives you the opportunity to do this. It essentially equips you to not only take that step but also transition with ease and confidence. The model makes huge sense. If an agent’s presented with an opportunity with OA, they’re very fortunate. If they have what it takes, they need to get on board quick. It’s a fast changing industry… if it’s not you, than who?
Huge advantage with JS being the Australasian membership consultant with his extensive RE background in NZ and relevant networks – it’s always who you know! Being kiwi too, he understands the people and RE culture here. This was another big factor in my decision making.”
> Naomi Brooking, One Agency Naomi Brooking Realty
