Send a message directly to Lee ( Include your details )A real estate brand built on freedom just reached a major turning point. We sit down with One Agency founders Paul and Annie Davis to share the announcement they’ve kept close until now: the network is transitioning to new ownership, and it’s happening the rare way, through an internal sale to Elite Property Group, the biggest One Agency office internationally. We rewind to the beginning and unpack why One Agency was different from day one: no compulsory office, no percentage-of-income franchise fees, and no control-heavy reporting. Paul explains the hard-earned logic behind the model after decades inside traditional franchises and boutique agencies, and why he keeps repeating the same mantra: it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep. Annie shares the people-first side, how culture becomes the “One Agency family”, and why protecting members stays at the centre of every decision.\n\nThen we meet the incoming directors from Elite Property Group and hear what they want to bring to the broader membership: deeper support and communication, practical systems that reduce admin, and a serious push into technology, AI, and automation to decomplicate real estate as compliance and process demands rise. They also make the promise that matters most in a handover: protect what’s been built, keep it human, and add capability without losing the point.\n\nIf you care about building a low-overhead real estate agency, scaling with strong systems, or choosing a network that prioritises autonomy and profit, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with an agent who’s feeling the weight of overheads, and leave a review with your biggest question about where real estate is heading next.Hosted by Lee Woodward Training SystemsBrought to you by The Agency Portal 🎓 The Complete Salesperson Course – Australia’s premier real estate training, delivered nationally throughout the year.
