We are the oldest Licensed Agency in the District with our original License on display at the office which was issued by the Clerk of Petty Sessions Campsie Court on 6th January 1953. For home buyers and property investors seeking Agent representation, nothing symbolises integrity like an agency willing to stake its credibility on the family name on the front door, says Clarke National REALTY Licensee Garry Clarke.
“The real estate business has changed enormously, particularly over the past 10-15 years,” Mr Clarke says. “Now, the dominant philosophy for most Agents is ‘do the business for today but don’t think about tomorrow’.
“But what we want to ensure is today’s customer is tomorrow’s Client. We maintain the highest ethical standards because the business is a direct reflection of our family name.”
The Clarke banner, he says, represents over 62 years of building trust within the Georges River District. “My father established the business on 6 January 1953, and I began sitting in on open houses when I was 13. Now my wife Beth assists as well as my daughter Lucy who is a vital part of our business as the Office Manager and my son James doing Sales as well as them all being involved in the Property Management with the experience and guidance of my 44 plus years experience.”
In fact, Lucy Clarke was short-listed in the under-25 category of the Bankstown Local Business Awards for 2009 (Clarke National REALTY was nominated in the overall category). At a time when the ACCC has seen fit to reprimand the industry for indulging in the subtle deception of marketing “spin”, Clarke National REALTY is grounded in a philosophy of honesty, local knowledge and a long-term commitment to the Client.
“Clients and Customers – whether they be Landlords, Tenants, Vendors or Purchasers – can talk to a family member knowing what they want to achieve, will be achieved in the best possible way,” Garry Clarke says. One key aspect of the business is the constant walk in enquiry, and that is as a direct result of Revesby Shopping Centre having not only Woolworths and IGA but all the major Banks including NAB, Commonwealth, St George, Westpac, ANZ. Garry, Beth, Lucy, James and Stacey are always available for a chat on any Real Estate matters. Should you be in Revesby at any time, pop in, or call 9773 7888, you will always be greeted with a smile.
