After 8+ years in real estate, Matiu Henare and Julian Clifton have joined forces to launch Ohana Property Group. Translating to ‘family’, Ohana reflects their mission to build a family and community on the radical idea that real estate transactions can be fun-filled people with “the warm fuzzies.”

With a true passion for real estate, the Ohana Property team get joy from helping people achieve their goals and make the stressful process of selling large assets a supportive, personal experience.

The pair have a truly unique approach to how they operate, market themselves and work with clients and the traditional real estate model was holding them back.

Partnering with UrbanX was the perfect fit, freeing them from the limitations they were experiencing.

“We were tired of the red tape and being dictated to about what we could and couldn’t do,” Julian said, and added that they also felt held back in their personal wealth. “We wanted to take home more of what we earn and not give it away.”

Despite their individual approach, or as Julian puts it, “we’re not your typical agents and we like to have fun and portray that in everything we do.” The pair take their business seriously, challenging themselves to “continually learn, develop and master modern strategies.” 

Once again, they found alignment and a support structure with UrbanX, knowing “they're backed by so many knowledgeable people.” 

When asked about their advice for other agents thinking about starting their own business, Matiu simply said “just do it! why wouldn't you want to take home more and have more freedom!”

The partnership with UrbanX will support the Ohana Property Group to continue to break the real estate stereotype and connect more deeply with their Deception Bay and Narangba community (and be a whole lotta fun!).
