Our History

The John B Grant Real Estate Group first commenced trading at Condell Park office at the beginning of 1981. Establishing a second office at Padstow in 1982 saw a progressive expansion to a third office at Chester Hill in 1984 and a fourth office at Moorebank in 1986. A partnership split saw the Moorebank and Chester Hill offices still remain under the John B Grant banner.

In 1990, Glenfield office was opened. After a few years of successful trading a second shop adjoining the first one was added. In 1997 due to expansion a third shop was added to the existing two giving the largest window display in the area.

In 1995 with Danielle Perombelon Grants Strata management was formed. Originally they worked in the Glenfield office. Rapid expansion saw the Strata Company move to the third office at Glenfield in 1997. In 2001 Grants Strata took over the Casula office. In 2002 another office was opened in Burwood. Logistic and computer problems forced us to move to our present address, which houses the 14 staff members and the bookwork for over 300 blocks of units, which are under management. In 2006 John sold this office to Danielle.

In any business staff is an important component to its success. John B Grant Real Estate has had over 25 staff members who have served for the company for over 5 years and 11 of these qualified for 10 years service. Two employees, Lil Trpkovska and Joe Brattoni came close to serving nearly 20 years with the John B Grant Real Estate group.

John B Grant has always believed in obtaining the best quality staff and renumerating them well above the award wage.

At the last count there were 35 people who worked for John B Grant Real Estate and then went out and started their own Real Estate office.

Over 50 young apprentices have started off their working career with John B Grant group. Some of these are still working in the real estate industry today.

John B Grant Real Estate group has spent many thousands of dollars on training and education of its staff.

The company has employed people from all walks of life and religions from Buddists, Hindus, Moslems, Jews and atheists, selecting the best person for the job. Their ages have ranged from 16 to 73 years.

In 2007 John Grant decided to scale down his operation so he sold the Strata Company, the Moorebank and Glenfield offices. In 2008 he retired to his farm at Foxground.

Zeth and Bree, his children carried on the running of the Chester Hill office. In early 2009 Zeth suggested that the market was getting busy and asked his father to come out of retirement and help build up the office again.
