Company History
The success story that has become Rental Express is quite remarkable. Having started in real estate with next to no experience in 2001, Chris and Steve, aged just 26 and 21 respectively at the time, built one of the most successful real estate sales businesses in Brisbane turning over in excess of $2.5 million in revenue in their second full year.
Rental Express was established in 2001 by Chris Rolls and Steve Sleswick who initially operated the business as a traditional sales-based real estate agency. However in October 2006, upon identifying an opportunity to deliver exceptional property management, the pair made the strategic decision to become a specialist property management company.
At the outset, the pair had little focus on residential property management but started building the rental side of their business in 2003 and in the space of only a few short years, they have grown their property management department from practically nothing to the point where they manage over $1.5 billion worth of residential real estate. Prior to separating themselves from the Harcourts group, they were awarded the prestigious ‘Property Management Team of the Year’ which they won ahead of 350 other businesses worldwide.
To date Rental Express have acquired the rental businesses of more than half a dozen other agencies and are now the largest privately owned property management business in Queensland. The business now accommodates over 9,000 tenants, collects over $50million in rent and conducts over 9,000 property inspections each year.
The Rental Express team are also respected leaders in the Australian property management industry. In fact, they’ve done so well at cementing their place as property management experts that they now provide seminars and workshops across the country to help other businesses develop their customer service focus and grow their business.
Rental Express is one of a very small handful of specialist property management organizations with an aspiration to become the largest independent manager of residential property in Australia.
