RPM has since grown to become the industry-leader with an expanding national presence; offering a comprehensive suite of services designed to maximise your property journey.
Offering a comprehensive suite of professional services including market intelligence, portfolio strategy, transactions & advisory, community development, project marketing, and property management RPM provide confidence and partnership across the full project & purchasing lifecycle.
Our history
2022
We have grown year on year and 2022 has been a landmark year for RPM. Not only did we take our first steps at a national expansion with the opening of our Brisbane office, we also responded to the greater demand for our strategic guidance beyond traditional property.
Our philosophy is simple; to make it easier for all Australians to achieve their financial goals through multiple avenues. Whether this is through land, property, or investment - our unique research-driven approach ensures our clients are guided by the most current, real-time data.
This is the latest chapter of our evolution; marking a point where our offerings are significantly more comprehensive than our origins in traditional property. We will continue to raise expectations, and challenge the norms to uncover innovative, data-driven solutions.
