You can't necessarily choose who you buy through, but you can certainly chose who you sell through. Whether you are ready to sell your home now, or simply require more information on the property market, we are here to help.
We are committed to the provision of a higher level of customer service. We believe that customer service should not be an extension of what we do, but an integral part of what we do. Our charter outlines what our customers can expect from us:
Our culture is one of inquisitive observation, deliberate action and constant review. Our brand is organic and evolving, always consistently delivered and at the forefront of communications.
Our core values are the foundation stone of our incredible organisational culture. It is the blood that courses through our company veins - the DNA that binds us. Without it, we are just another real estate group.
It is no secret that the best organisations in the world are the ones with the greatest cultures. Our culture is founded on respect, both for customers and colleagues and for the company itself, our direction and our contribution to our industry. We believe our values are integral to unlocking future success and so we live them out on a daily basis.
We believe that our people are the cornerstone of our business. We are a true meritocracy and always recognise and reward hard work and always look to promote from within whenever possible. The average tenure for a real estate professional is currently thought to be just 2.5 years, whereas our average is nearly double that. At Starr Partners, we create opportunities for all employees to bring their ideas to the workplace in an environment that cultivates the exchange of broad-thinking and inspires innovation. By embedding diversity and inclusion into our business, we help ensure that we are best placed to serve our customers and deliver on their needs.
Would-be leaders in any industry must come to grips with a self-evident truth - you can't be a leader by following. Admittedly, it's difficult to zag when everyone else is zigging. Real estate agents are often like sheep, in that our natural inclination is to go with the herd. Innovation however, sometimes demands the opposite. It often requires a brave, and sometimes unnatural act. To achieve originality we need to abandon the comforts of habit, reason and the approval of our peers, and strike out in new directions.
Changing our philosophy from being risk adverse to risk-taking innovators was a brave step, but we realised this was essential if we wanted to thrive in the new economy. Our traditional approach to real estate had always served us well in the past, but with our clients becoming increasingly sophisticated, we realised that we needed to shift our thinking and act decisively.
We have been recognised as the Innovator of the Year at the Australian Real Estate Awards for three consecutive years and remain committed to refining and improving our business and investing in innovation to ensure that we are best placed to meet our client's needs.
At Starr Partners, we believe that we have a responsibility to both our employees and the communities we serve. We are creating tangible value for our people, customers and partners while driving social and environmental good.
Whilst we alone aren't capable of changing the world, we believe that we have an obligation to play our part, and whether big or small, it's certainly a step in the right direction. At a local level, our offices are a critical part of the communities they serve. They live and work there, and they are deeply committed to serving and supporting them through their work and community involvement. Contributing to communities, whether geographic, social or charitable, is an essential part of our business philosophy. We are frequently recognised for our philanthropic practices and have supported a number of worthwhile charities, including the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
