Our Story

Make Richardson & Wrench Figtree your first port of call for a highly knowledgeable team of property professionals with decades of expertise in the Wollongong real estate market.

Director Michael Moate, a second-generation local agent, began his real estate career more than 30 years ago selling homes in Figtree and its surrounds alongside his father Ron. By learning the ropes with his dad, Michael’s traditional work ethic, attention to detail and customer service sets him apart in business today.

Expert Property Manager Tania Hastie has established herself as a trusted professional who values the importance of great communication with both landlords and their tenants.

Few local agents have this level of specialised experience in the Wollongong area, as well as a long-term proven track-record of great results and an invaluable little black book of community connections.

The Richardson & Wrench Figtree team has been there to witness significant growth in the local region over the years; blossoming from a sleepy Wollongong suburb to a dynamic neighbourhood offering the best of both worlds for its residents.

Once a well-kept secret, Figtree and its neighbouring suburbs are in high demand today with homebuyers, investors and renters. The well-placed family-friendly area is just minutes from Wollongong’s CBD, a choice of sunny beaches and has a host of lifestyle amenities including popular schools, shops and parks. 

A coveted destination that will continue to grow, Wollongong is home to a highly regarded university and is also a convenient and commutable two-hour drive or train ride from the centre of Sydney or even less to the domestic and international airports.

Whether you are a local seller looking to upsize, or downsize, an investor interested in the vibrant sought-after Wollongong area, or a Sydney homeowner looking to relocate to the region, get in touch with Richardson & Wrench Figtree today.
