Founded February 21 1950 by Geoffery James Fitzpatrick, supported by his wife Bette, Fitzpatricks was formally known as G.J. Fitzpatrick & Co. Beginning its operation from a small office in the basement of the former Gissings building in Fitzmaurice Street, Geoff was given the building on a rent-free basis in return for writing up the owner’s financial books.
Throughout Geoff’s real estate career, he kept extensive diary entries, detailing his day to day activities and financial transactions. From his original modes of transport of a bicycle or by foot, armed with his diary, tape measure and contracts, Geoff’s first house sale was a property located in Wollundry Avenue selling for 4800 pounds.
As a privately owned, local family business, it has grown from its humble beginnings, starting as a one man show, to now employing a professional and dynamic team of over 40 staff from its current Baylis Street location, proudly serving the people of Wagga Wagga for the past 75 years.
Real estate is ingrained in the Fitzpatricks family, with Geoff’s three sons joining the team over the years. Peter, Chris and Richard coming on board in 1972, 1975 and 1980 respectively. Geoff stepped down as Director in 1983, to later retire from real estate in 1998 after almost 50 years in the business, with Richard being the last Fitzpatrick to retire in 2022.
Fitzpatricks attributes the success and growth of the company to hard work, discipline and great customer relationships forged and maintained throughout the years. Investing in the continual development, education and training of our team, as well as engaging and implementing the latest in technology.
