Our Story

We are Australia’s leading over 50s property portal
and have been for more than 15 years.

It all started with one question.

Why isn’t there a niche property portal for downsizers and retirees?

It was 2003 and as the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law, we started the search for accommodation options for elderly parents.

It wasn’t an easy or a pleasant experience and there was very little information available online.

It got us thinking. So we started talking to other families and found most faced the same problem and were just as confused and frustrated.

We realised that with a rapidly ageing demographic this presented a significant gap in the market. Armed with our industry knowledge, we built a website designed to be easy to use - a one-stop-shop to help consumers easily navigate the fragmented and complex retirement living and aged care sector in Australia.
