Who is King & Co and why are we industry leaders? |
Since opening its doors for business in 1988, King & Co Property Consultants
has become the leading 'boutique' agency in Southeast Queensland's highly competitive
city fringe/suburban industrial and commercial real estate markets.
The reasons for this success are not complex: Our specialist divisions offer unparalleled
expertise in selling, buying, leasing, managing or advising on a client?s property
needs... and does so within a well honed combination of long term experience, a
balanced mix of qualifications, management practices, up to date technology, accessibility
and, importantly, old fashioned service.
To maintain our expertise at a high level, King & Co agents and support staff
are required to undertake in-house training and external courses on a regular basis...a
process that also encourages them to take advantage of their academic backgrounds
and upgrade their professional qualifications.
This proficiency has received wide media recognition and has made King & Co
a respected authority on Brisbane's industrial/commercial property market. Indeed,
our analyses are regularly published in the press and the Company is often invited
by major valuers, quantity surveyors and other professional bodies to contribute
to their publications, reports or seminars. In addition, we use this knowledge in
our role as a good corporate citizen, regularly putting important issues on the
public and political agenda, mostly via the King's Counsel, our biannual newsletter.

Flat management structure |
To sustain and nurture quality service, King & Co has adopted a ?hands on? approach
to management in conjunction with an 'open plan-open door' office layout. This policy
not only allows for more sensitive leadership but, when necessary, facilitates quick
decisions due to a lack of internal bureaucracy. Moreover, clients benefit from
the fact that a collegial atmosphere makes for better information sharing (all of
which will be kept strictly confidential).
To meet the challenge of new technologies, King & Co has committed considerable
effort and funding to a unique, state of the art computer system that integrates
our marketing, property management, advisory, organisational, statistical, mailing,
support as well as listing and financial databases. It is considered the most sophisticated
in the industry and allows us to provide clients and customers with an up to date
and timely data on which to base their investment decisions, and manages transactions
from start to finish.
Needless to say, Email and Web access are important components of these services,
particularly our constantly updated Web site, which can be found at www.kingco.com.au.

Lower overheads and ease of access |
King & Co was the first among many agencies to set up its headquarters outside
the CBD. This decision has left us physically closer to our primary market, provides
for lower overheads and creates better accessibility...benefits that are then passed
on to our clients and customers.
To maintain quality service at a reasonable cost we need only one office to suit
our operations, a 125 year old, fully renovated building at 99 Annerley Road, Woolloongabba...a
particularly important factor since most of our transactions are made in SE Queensland
and a suburban, near City location affords both convenience and ease of parking.
This is not to say we don't have a significant client base outside this area, we
do, but it has not been necessary for us to formally affiliate with national or
international entities beyond the short term, and only then if it's by request.
“Old fashioned” service consists of attention to detail, knowledge of the market,
awareness of legal procedures and special treatment for every client and customer,
big or small. While attentiveness anchors our efforts, it's clear that success in
the new millennium will go to those agencies which provide appropriate and timely
service, keep in step with change, offer innovation and, most importantly, bring
results. If the past is any measure, King & Co's future should be a bright one...and
so should those of our clients and customers.
