Former Marshall White director joins The Agency in Melbourne

Former Marshall White director Adrian Wood has joined The Agency's Albert Park office.

He teams up with recent addition Michael Paproth and Peter Kakos.

Last year Wood sold $70 million in residential property and has a 97% clearance rate over the last two years.

Just last week he transacted $13.6 million in off-market sales.

Wood has a reputation for achieving a high rate of off-market sales, and repeat sales of the same property.

Based in The Agency’s new Albert Park office, Adrian Wood specialises in the $2 to $6 million residential category across Port Phillip and the surrounding markets.

General manager Peter Kakos said Woods is one of the best agents in the area.

“Our focus from day one has been to attract the very best people who fit well culturally and will live our values,” Kakos said.

“Adrian Wood’s exceptional customer focus marries beautifully with his 20 plus years of experience, incredible drive and significant level of success.

The Agency’s model and inherent flexibility attracted Adrian Wood to the brand. 

“The Agency business model is the right model for real estate moving forward," Wood said.

"Agents run their own business within the model, representative of our view that brands don’t sell property, people do.

“Buyers and sellers want transparency, they want an agent who understands current market trends and can be nimble, fresh and exciting enough to design a campaign focused on attracting and engaging the right buyers based on the client’s needs and not a company need.”

General manager Peter Kakos said The Agency offers agents more freedom with agents "rewarded for their services and skills" through a number of verticals with The Agency, particularly the ability to build equity through property management asset sharing.
