About us
Built on property. Driven by people.
It started with one house in Wauchope
John bought his first investment property in Wauchope at just 18. Four more followed before he turned 21, beginning a journey of buying, renovating, developing, renting and selling that would lay the foundations for the family business.
With his own money invested, John learned firsthand the value of sound advice, careful management and knowing when to make a move.
Sallyann brought her own experience and perspective. With a builder for a father, she grew up watching homes take shape and went on to become an accomplished renovator herself.
Together, John and Sallyann took on property projects and shared their experience with fellow owners and investors, helping them work through challenges and building lasting relationships along the way.
As their reputation grew, other owners began asking them to look after their properties. Those relationships became the foundation of One Agency Port Macquarie & Wauchope, and the business grew one recommendation at a time.
From a boutique office to a local powerhouse
As word spread, John and Sallyann grew. They purchased another established local real estate office, bringing together experienced people, long-standing client relationships and deep local knowledge under one roof. From there they built two things they're proudest of: a dynamic sales team and one of the strongest property management teams on the Mid North Coast.
We've always believed property is about people. Get the right people around you and the results take care of themselves.
Today, with Sallyann as Licensee and John overseeing business operations, the business is supported by an incredible team of professionals helping people buy, sell, lease and manage property across Port Macquarie, Wauchope and the surrounding communities.
John and Sallyann still lead from the front. They're investors who understand your goals, renovators who can see a home's potential, and business owners who answer to their clients, not a head office.
The people behind the business
That team has helped shape the business into what it is today. Each individual brings their own knowledge, experience and strengths, united by a commitment to supporting one another and looking after their clients. John and Sallyann are incredibly proud of the people behind the business and the relationships they build every day.
Having experienced the decisions, pressures and possibilities of property ownership themselves, John and Sallyann have built an agency grounded in practical advice, clear communication and care for each client’s property and future plans.
