Frank’s Career Progression

Frank began his career in 1993 working for a large independent property firm in Townsville, initially selling new house and land packages until advancing in to the development and investment area.

After four successful years Frank decided to take the plunge in to business ownership and at the age of 27 became the Principal, Licensee and owner of a Real Estate  office Annandale in Townsville. This was a start up project when he established it in late 1997, with only one employee that grew to become a leading player in the local real estate market, earning multiple awards for business growth, customer service and marketing. Frank and his young family moved to Brisbane in 2002 appointing a manager and eventually selling the franchise in 2003.

Upon arriving in Brisbane, Frank spent time as a Regional Manager for a major franchise for Queensland Operations. During that time he was responsible for the training and management of 60 franchises, performing a mentoring and sales training role in all aspects of their business.

In October 2005, Frank and business partner Craig Bellette settled on the purchase of a Real Estate office in Toowong.

In the thirteen years that Frank and Craig have owned the Toowong franchise, through innovation and a focus on achieving the best outcomes for their clients, they have grown the business strongly.

In the years from 2011 to 2016, the Toowong office undertook a name change to Brisbane West in order to facilitate further growth. This involved moving to a stand-alone 500m2+ office and purchasing the Property Management businesses of three highly successful local agencies, along with acquiring ownership of a Project Marketing business initially in partnership and in 2016 assuming full ownership.

During that ownership, many of their employees have been awarded State, National and International awards. The business has also been recognised as the No. 1 Property Management Office Internationally on multiple occasions, along with featuring consistently amongst the top 5 offices Internationally for “All Office Income”.

Frank personally has been awarded Franchise owner of the year and has been a finalist in the prestigious Sir Leslie Hooker Award.

Raine and Horne Brisbane West

With a desire to build a multi-office network, Craig and Frank made the decision to end their 21 year relationship with a major brand to collaborate with a family owned and technologically savvy Franchisor, rebranding to Raine & Horne.

Craig & Frank are particularly excited about the advantages they can provide to their clients with the superior technology and Social Media strategies provided by Raine & Horne.

As their office network grows, they look forward to providing the results and service to customers along with the opportunities for growth and job security for their staff and families that they have provided for the last 22 years.
