BANKING ON RE/MAX COUNTRY Last year Kev Perry moved his growing real estate team into new premises, a prominent bank building in Crows Nest, Queensland. The original Queensland National Bank was built in 1905 in Curnow St. A new timber building was constructed at 6 Charlotte street in 1909. This was destroyed by fire and rebuilt as the National Bank (now NAB) from concrete and bricks in 1959. The RE/MAX County office incorporates the bank vault.

WARKWORTH, NZ, WELCOMED RE/MAX HOUSE Ben and Nola Kloppers moved RE/MAX Realty Group into historic premises, the gracious Bank of New Zealand building, circa 1930, last year.

They were delighted to be given permission to place ‘RE/MAX House’ over the entry to welcome real estate customers to the lower floor of the heritage building designed by prominent architect Richard Abbott (1883 – 1954), which is typical of the style of bank buildings of the period.

VISION GENTRIFIES COUNTRY HOTEL ‘The Loftus’ is home to RE/MAX Vision in Junee, New South Wales.

Annette and Jenna Pollard bought the heritage-listed building, which was built around 1890 as an up-market hotel for rail passengers, and they are currently renovating.

Upstairs are 24 completed guest rooms. A stunning function centre on the lower level is a work-in-progress.

FANCY A STONES GINGER BEER? David and Stephanie Cotterill have a prime corner location for RE/MAX Experience in Stones Corner, one of Brisbane’s oldest retail hubs.

The building’s façade lends itself to the character of the vibrant precinct with the suburb named after James Stones who bought the land in 1875.

COTTAGE MOVED WITH THE TOWN A pretty Pokeno cottage with a unique history is home to RE/MAX Stars, New Zealand. Lisa Walden says the cottage was re-sited from nearby Pokeno Hill when the town itself shifted to level ground.

Historical reports suggest the original town square was laid out in the 1860s but relocated around 1927 when the population drifted south to cluster around the railway station, post office and other facilities.
