Recognising the evolving landscape of real estate, Upstate made the bold decision in 2019 to shift to an independent agency and invested in a purpose-built 1000sqm headquarters in Dee Why. This move allowed us to deliver an enterprise-level experience while remaining agile and adaptable in the face of technological advancements.
As a values-led business, our founders also decided early on to build a workplace that staff wanted to be a part of. The Upstate company values are; we are passionate, we support our people, we constantly evolve, we embody wellbeing, and we live our best lives.
“We knew if we attracted, trained, and retained the best people, kept them highly motivated and proud, the needs of our vendors and landlords would be well taken care of,” adds Meschell.
“Our vision is to be curious, seamless, and enthusiastic, with a focus on lifestyle. We’re not just a real estate agency; we’re a lifestyle brand. At Upstate, we can do and say things that no other business in Real Estate can and we are so proud of that.”
