OUR STORY
Geelong Real Estate Co was founded by Director Ricky Forte who had the vision to offer Geelong a completely different real estate experience. As a previous #1 sales agent for two of Australia’s largest real estate franchises, Ricky set out to offer Geelong a boutique real estate agency that focuses on making a difference not just to its customers but the entire Geelong community. By aligning GRECo with organisations and initiatives that are both socially and environmentally responsible, Geelong has a real estate agency that they can be proud of.
An approach that’s exclusively unique to GRECo. An inspired team of only the best real estate agents in Geelong, where authenticity and integrity are valued above all. We’re dedicated to changing the perception of real estate agents in Geelong. Bringing something more to the table than just flashy suits and empty promises.

A vision and set of values like these can only be delivered by an exceptional team, a team which GRECo has in experienced sales agent Jess Templeton and the exemplary Sales & Administrative Assistant Jacinta Claxton.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
At Geelong Real Estate Co, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional customer service. Terms like that in our industry can be thrown around quite a bit, but very rarely are they ever followed through. We believe we offer the best property management experience in Geelong and to us, exceptional customer service means;
-
Being available when you need us - You can call us directly on our mobiles, no leaving a message with the receptionist and waiting three days for a call back.
-
Being honest and genuine in all things - Providing honest and detailed feedback for open inspections, routine inspections and vacate inspections.
-
Offering experienced advice – Our team are well versed in all aspects of real estate so are property management specialists. But we also have backgrounds in banking, construction and property maintenance, so can offer a wide range of advice.
-
Seeing things from your side – We own investment properties too, so we have a great understanding what it takes to manage a rental property and get the most out of your property portfolio.
We are also proud of the fact that we offer small agency boutique service; you aren’t just another client who gets rotated through a new property manager every 6-12 months. You are important to us as individual clients and you will work directly with the same property manager throughout your whole investment property journey. For example, this means the person who does the incoming condition report will also do the vacate inspection at the end of the tenancy, allowing for good continuity in service and ensuring things aren’t missed where they otherwise might be if team members change.
So if you’re asking yourself, ‘How can I get Geelong Real Estate Co on board to manage my property”, the answer is simple! Changing agents starts with a call to our team, we will prepare an authority for you to sign, then we'll handle the rest.
So for all of your real estate and property management needs, call Geelong Real Estate Co, the Geelong property management specialists.
