Independent real estate agency Clarke & Co Estate Agents has officially expanded its presence in the Hunter region with the launch of a brand-new office in Newcastle. The agency opened its doors in Adamstown on January 4, 2026, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.
A Natural Progression from Humble Beginnings
The expansion represents a logical next step for the agency, which was originally founded by husband-and-wife team Nick and Taylah Clarke in East Maitland on the same date back in 2021. What began as a modest two-person operation working from a small shared room has blossomed into a formidable team of over forty dedicated professionals.
Despite this rapid expansion, the business remains steadfastly committed to its core philosophy of delivering uncompromising service excellence to every client. This unwavering focus on quality has clearly paid dividends in the competitive local market.
Record-Breaking Performance in the Hunter Region
The agency's decision to establish a foothold in Newcastle comes on the back of extraordinary sales achievements. Director and sales agent Nick Clarke revealed that the office sold an impressive 601 properties in the previous year alone.
"This remarkable result has secured our position as the highest-performing real estate office in both the Newcastle and Hunter Valley region for the third consecutive year," Mr Clarke stated with evident pride. "We have been consistently achieving record prices and outstanding sales outcomes for our clients across the local area for years."
Unmatched Individual Expertise
Mr Clarke himself brings an extraordinary level of personal expertise to the marketplace. His individual performance last year saw him sell 374 homes, establishing him as the top-selling single agent across the entire nation. This deep market knowledge and proven track record form a cornerstone of the agency's value proposition to clients.
Education and Comprehensive Client Support
A key differentiator for Clarke & Co is its strong emphasis on client education. The team is dedicated to ensuring that every individual leaves their office more informed than when they arrived, regardless of their property journey.
- First home buyers receive detailed guidance on navigating finance options.
- Investors are advised on the strategic balance between capital growth and high-yield property investments.
- Homeowners are expertly assisted with complex processes like bridging loans.
Strategic Location and Advanced Services
The new Adamstown office has been strategically positioned to better serve the increasing flow of buyers moving between the Maitland and Newcastle markets. For customers, this translates into direct access to high-end technology and sophisticated systems that Mr Clarke believes have previously been lacking in the local real estate landscape.
Beyond traditional sales and leasing services, the agency offers a unique and comprehensive project management service for home renovations. This innovative offering manages the entire renovation process from initial concept to final completion, utilising a network of trusted tradespeople to help clients maximise their eventual sale price.
"Leveraging our skills and extensive industry contacts allows us to help our clients achieve a strong return on their renovation investment," Mr Clarke explained. "To us, providing this holistic service is a complete no-brainer."
Looking to the Future in Newcastle
As the agency looks ahead, the primary focus is on ensuring the Newcastle office sets a new benchmark for service quality. The team is committed to maintaining the exceptional attention to detail that has been the hallmark of Clarke & Co's success story thus far.
"The launch of our Newcastle office is a huge milestone for our business," Mr Clarke concluded. "We are genuinely excited about the opportunity to raise the bar for what exceptional, client-focused service looks like in the real estate industry here."
