Our difference is real

For over 40 years, Fitzgerald Hines has been connecting people to place in the Illawarra. Founded as Peter Fitzgerald Real Estate in the 1980s, we’ve watched the Illawarra grow and change over the years - and we have too.

At Fitzgerald Hines, our difference is real. Real people. Real results. Real connections. We’ve seen a lot of trends come and go over the years, but there is one thing that has stayed true - real never gets old.

Real people.

While Peter Fitzgerald has now retired, the team at Fitzgerald Hines are carrying the legacy into the future. At Fitzgerald Hines, we believe that real estate is a connection between people and place. We are proud of the relationships we’ve built with our clients - some of whom have been with us for decades.

Real results.

We approach every property, whether sales or rental with the same mindset - to get the best result possible, in the best time frame possible. You see, we’ve been selling and renting properties through every major economic cycle since the 1980s. We know the patterns and how buyers and renters react - and we know the real way to succeed.

Real connections.

At the very core of what we do for our clients is a connection - between people and place. Whether it’s a place to call home, a place you called home, or an investment in your future Fitzgerald Hines will help you find and foster a connection. Whether that means waiting patiently or pursuing proactively, we’re with you every step of the way.

Real history

Fitzgerald Hines Real Estate has been a trusted name in the Illawarra real estate industry since its establishment in 1980 by Peter Fitzgerald himself.

Then known as Peter Fitzgerald Real Estate, the business was built on old-fashioned values; honesty, integrity and personal connection. These values have continued to serve as the cornerstone of our success for over four decades. We have always been a community-focused business, which has helped us form a strong connection with the Illawarra community.

Today, Fitzgerald Hines is led by Jason Hines, who began his career with Peter Fitzgerald Real Estate over 30 years ago. Jason has continued to build on the company’s legacy and values, while adapting to the changing real estate landscape.
