What happens when two great real estate agencies decide to team up?

Professionals Armidale and Uphill & Schaefer have teamed up to provide comprehensive real estate services to our community.

Uphill & Schaefer will be merging into the Professionals Armidale, with their team, portfolio and notably their auctioneering skills and expertise strengthening what together we can offer. Our sales team will now be made up of eight (8) and our property management team will now consist of thirteen (13) team members.

We believe that together we will offer unparalleled service and support, the opportunity to work with an award-winning sales office, a team that has unbeatable auction experience, highly skilled property managers, all backed up with industry leading systems and processes. In merging forces we can ensure our clients receive the best possible service, with ongoing education and training ensuring our team operates at its best, a team that is committed to proactively contributing to the community we live in.

Significantly, Principals Julie Schaefer and Shane Kleindienst will continue in their roles with the Professionals Armidale, continuing to work in the profession they are both highly skilled in, adding significant expertise and professional maturity to the team, and in turn benefiting from the extensive support, education and training provided by the Professionals group.

“It was important to us for the merger to proceed that we would have longevity for our staff, and another benefit in teaming up with Professionals Armidale was the training our staff would be able to access, which becomes a benefit for both our landlords and our vendors. It was needed to be a good cultural fit for our people, ” said Julie Schaefer, Uphill & Schaefer.

“The cultural fit and the values between our two business are just so similar and our staff are very excited”, said Ben Saxby, Professionals Armidale.

“And from our point of view there was a lot of relief from our staff that it was the Professionals as they were really happy with the fit, which was important to us, particularly as a lot of our staff have been with us for a very long time,” said Shane Kleindienst, Uphill & Schaefer.

“And we won’t be hard to find. Our sales team will be located in the current Uphill & Schaefer offices. While our reception and property management team will be located a few doors down in the existing Professionals Armidale offices. We plan to move into one premise together in 2023,” Ben went on to say.

Bigger and better than before.
