Place Wooloongabba in Brisbane has promoted team members Ben Smith, Savva Koulouris, and Aaron Richards to business partners.

Recognised for their consistent contributions and leadership within the business, the trio received commendations from principals James Curtain, Denis Najzar, and Mitchell Smith.

As a lead agent at Place Wolloongabba since its inception in 2018, Smith said the new role was a natural progression in his career that aligned with his long-term growth goals within the agency.

“We’ve been a part of this journey from the early days, and this partnership marks a new chapter of growth and success.”

“I see a very exciting path ahead, and I’m extremely grateful to James and Denis for backing us and believing in us,” Smith said.

Koulouris, who has served at Place Estate Agents as a lead agent for eight years, said the promotion was a significant milestone in his career.

“Being surrounded by people who share the same vision and passion is what makes this journey so rewarding,” he said.

“With the strong group and support system, I’m confident this will take our business to new heights.”

Richards, now a partner and property management team lead, has a longstanding passion for leadership and mentorship.

He has held various leadership roles, including senior property manager and as a partner and head of department, all under the Domain branch.

Richards noted that his new role at Place Wooloongabba aligned seamlessly with his long-term experience.

“I’m excited to contribute to Place Woolloongabba’s continued success while also mentoring and inspiring others within the team,” he said.

“This partnership provides an incredible platform for growth, and I’m looking forward to pushing boundaries alongside our exceptional team.”

Co-principal of Place Wolloongabba since its opening, Curtain said the team had closely monitored the new partners since the beginning of their journey with the agency.

“It was clear to us that bringing them into the partnership was the right move to secure both their future and the future of the business,” Curtain said.

“This partnership ensures strong succession planning, and we’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead over the next 10 to 20 years.”

Fellow principal Najzar said the appointments of Smith, Koulouris and Richards followed the agency’s commitment to nurturing and empowering young talent.

“We are constantly looking for ways to elevate our business, and we know that with young talent like Ben, Savva and Aaron, we can take this office to the next level,” Najzar said.

“Their dedication and hard work have been invaluable, and offering them this partnership is our way of showing appreciation and confidence in their ability to lead and continue to grow with us.”
