Our History

When we say ‘established in 1980’, It leaves a note that can instinctively make the office sound like a distilled whisky. But, much like a fine aged, triple distilled whisky, Ray White Gladstone has been fermenting and perfecting our subtle notes of, great service, trustworthy market knowledge, advice and modern flare for over four decades.

Not only is Ray White Gladstone making history, we are part of it! Ray White Gladstone, is proudly the first ever Ray White Franchise, a great fact and feat for the primarily industry driven regional town of Gladstone.

For context, there are now over 1,000 individual offices across Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, the Middle East and Atlanta, USA.

But you have to wonder how it all began.

Well, the story begins, with 2 brothers, a butcher shop and an idea to fill the evident gap within the quickly expanding Gladstone community. So, in 1976 the birth of ‘Allens Real Estate’ graced ‘Tank Street’

After a few years of trading as ‘Edgar Allen Real Estate’, Edgar and Brother Bruce Allen, realised that the local ‘Allen’s Real Estate’ brand was unfamiliar to travellers & the new influx of relocating clientele. Edgar & Bruce reached out to the Ray White groups, Brian White (grandson of group founder Ray), and the first franchise was born.

From Ray White starting a business from a simple shed located at Crows Nest in 1902. Through to franchising in Gladstone, Queensland. Who would have known these were the humble beginnings of an arduous journey of growth and development for the brand.

Moving forward a fair few years… to the business now. The not so little Ray White Gladstone office is a leader of change within the community, injecting new technology to service our clients.

Ray White Gladstone holds the largest rent roll in the Gladstone region and are trusted to sell 1 in 4 homes by the community. Over four decades our humble & now not so little agency has helped over 350,000 people into a home. We feel empowered to be the people’s narrator, connecting to ‘new chapters’, and providing the stepping stones for investment and personal development within the housing market.

It is easily said that every member of our Ray White Gladstone family and Team are proud of the rich local brand heritage & deep seeded community roots.

We are an agency that prides itself on a long standing reputation of providing traditional rural and regional support & honest real estate knowledge.

So now, when we say “trust the local experts’ you know why…
