The history... of the oldest real estate business in Townsville.
Kingsberry Property is the modern face of the oldest established real estate business in Townsville, and in fact the oldest trading firm in Townsville. It has a rich and interesting history starting in 1879, by one of the first residents of Townsville, (yes... we are old and proud of it!)
William Kirk's firm, "Timber Merchants & House & Land Estate Agents", was established in 1879 and was located in Flinders Street, Townsville city, (one of the few streets at the time!) In 1909, the business employed a young man named Bert Howell who eventually purchased it in 1935.
In 1983, at the age of 71, Bert sold the business to the now owners Nev and Rosemary Kingsberry who rebranded to Kingsberry Property in 2006, and located to 108 Charters Towers Road, Hermit Park which is their current location .
Kingsberry Property is a family business. In 2011, Nev and Rosemary appointed their son, Ben , as now part-owner and operator of Kingsberry Property.
