Lead Agent

People + Purpose = Whaites + Co.

Lead sales agent — Townsville

We're not after another salesperson. We're after someone who wants to build something that actually matters.

Whaites + Co. is a boutique real estate agency built around relationships, not transactions. We're intentionally small, and that's the whole point. Our clients don't want to feel like another listing moving through a system — they want to feel known, supported and genuinely looked after. If that sounds like the way you already work, we should talk.

The role

As lead agent, you'll build and run your own residential sales business under the Whaites + Co. name. You'll prospect, appraise, list, manage vendors, negotiate and sell — but more than that, you'll be the person your clients trust with one of the biggest decisions they'll ever make.

We'll back you with real support: in-house systems, marketing, and a team that actually collaborates rather than competes. Your job is to focus where you create the most value — relationships, advice, business development, negotiation and results — while we handle the rest.

What you're like

- You build real relationships, not just a database.
- You communicate proactively, so your clients are never left guessing.
- You give honest, commercially sound advice, even when it's not what someone wants to hear.
- You set realistic expectations early and follow through on what you say you'll do.
- You stay calm and solutions-focused when a campaign gets tricky.
- You think beyond the sale — to the client for life, not the transaction in front of you.

What we offer

- A genuinely boutique brand with a strong local reputation.
- Clear systems and in-house support, so you're not building everything from scratch.
- The freedom to develop your own style, strengths and career path.
- A team that collaborates rather than competes.
- A remuneration package that rewards you for your value and contribution to the team.

If you're an experienced agent who's ready to stop managing transactions and start building a career on relationships and reputation, we'd love to hear from you.
