2020 sees Fitzpatricks Real Estate celebrate its 70th year in business.

Founded on February 21, 1950 by Geoff Fitzpatrick, formerly known as G.J. Fitzpatrick & Company, operation began from a small office in the basement of the former Gissings Building in Fitzmaurice Street. Geoff was given the building rent free in return for the owner’s financial books being written up.

Throughout Geoff’s real estate career he kept extensive diary entries, detailing his day to day activities and financial transactions. His 1950 diary indicates his first house sale was made to Mrs Clark, with the property located in Wollundry Avenue selling for 4800 pounds.

Over the years the business has grown from its humble beginnings where it was originally a one man show, to now employing a professional and dynamic team of 48 staff.

As a privately owned, local family business, Fitzpatricks Real Estate is proud to have been serving the community of Wagga Wagga for the past 70 years and are looking forward to many more successful years to come.

Real estate runs in the veins of all our staff members with the team having a combined experience of over 365 years in the real estate industry. “The business has a major focus on both commercial and residential real estate, with constant training being part of our ethos,” said Director Shaun Lowry.

Fitzpatricks Real Estate has helped thousands of people buy and sell their home, and we realise the importance of this. 

Fitzpatricks Real Estate attributes the success and growth of the company to hard work and great customer relationships throughout the years.

“We all enjoy what we do and love helping people find themselves in a better place,” said Director Brendan Madigan.

The 6 current partners, Richard Fitzpatrick, Geoff Seymour, Brendan Madigan, Shaun Lowry, Helen Woodhouse and Paul Gooden believe Fitzpatricks strength and growth has come from the quality of our dedicated managers and team members. “Our staff are proud of what they do, proud of what they achieve and have a genuine interest in the service they provide,” said Director Geoff Seymour.

Since the 1950’s G.J. Fitzpatrick and Co. has been passionate about giving back to the community, a tradition Fitzpatricks Real Estate still holds today. Coming into its 70th year of making a difference within our community, in recent times, Fitzpatricks has donated over $125,000 back into our community.

Fitzpatricks Real Estate have been supporters of numerous organisations including Carevan, Riverina Bluebell, Committee 4 Wagga, Dragons Abreast, South Wagga Rotary & Circus Quirkus, McGrath Foundation, Cancer Council, Relay for Life, St Michael’s Cathedral restoration, Forest Centre, Kurrajong Waratah, CSU Foundation and Movember just to name a few.

Fitzpatricks Real Estate is very conscious of being leaders in the industry, adapting new technology to provide vendors and landlords with the greatest exposure in the marketplace and to enable buyers and tenants to find the right property with as many options as possible.

“We will continue to build on our unique marketing solutions, with our dedicated marketing team helping to maximise our clients’ outcomes as well as providing community services such as the Fitzpatricks Report and market updates” said Director Helen Woodhouse.

Our objective is to stay ahead of changes in technology and service delivery, to be prepared so we can offer the best service in the way our customers want it.

“I have enjoyed listing people’s homes as I have always recognised the importance and magnitude in people’s lives of the decision to sell their home, and I know that by giving their home to Fitzpatricks to sell they would always get the best service available” – Richard Fitzpatrick
