Neighbouring real estate businesses have merged in Perth with the sale of successful boutique agency, Oceanside Realty, to RE/MAX Extreme, a leading office in the Australian and global network.

Pete Costigan, an Oceanside Realty owner, high-performance sales agent and renowned local area expert, joins the RE/MAX Extreme team and will specialise in sales in Perth’s northern suburbs.

“I’ve observed the incredible growth of a business that has been operating next door to us for many years so when there was a decision to be made, RE/MAX Extreme was first choice because the benefits of merging with RE/MAX are truly exciting for our clients and for business,” Mr Costigan said.

“The value of a business is created through the support of its customers, so it was critical that the culture, ethics and integrity of the incoming ownership aligned with ours.

“In RE/MAX we have a network led by directors who really appreciate what we built over the years and are excited to integrate this within their highly successful business and develop its future potential as the WA network grows,” he said.

The transition has also been made very seamless and comfortable for landlords and tenants with Sarah Warburton joining the RE/MAX Extreme team.

Mr Costigan said, “Sarah is a very meticulous property manager who takes pride in her work and her communication with clients, so she will ensure the property management experience is first class.”

RE/MAX Extreme is recognised for complete customer satisfaction, a high level of systems and technology that ensures maximum results for clients, and state of the art training for agents and property managers.

Director Brett White said it was easy to see how Oceanside Realty and his business aligned.

“Both businesses have proven they can adapt quickly where we see that change is required, and both share a client-focus philosophy and build teams that not only support each other but support our clients.”

Mr Costigan said the prospect of joining a respected worldwide brand, in an office that has an outstanding reputation in the local community, was exciting.

“RE/MAX has a global footprint that no other real estate brand matches.

“The strength of the brand, the support and training, and the powerful resources and technology delivered by the RE/MAX network are second to none and can only help to improve the service our Oceanside clients have come to know and expect.”
