When Albert Schloeffel and Henry Paul joined forces in April 1904 to establish Schloeffel & Paul Estate Agents in Hurstville, they could have had no thoughts that from these humble beginnings would rise one of the strongest, successful and innovative real estate groups in the southern region of Sydney.

As the city of Hurstville has grown so too has Schloeffel & Paul. In February 1982, six independent Sydney real estate agents joined forces to form Nationwide Realty. After just two years the number of offices in the network in NSW had grown to 62. Within a few years the network had established franchises in Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.

In 1985, Schloeffel & Paul merged with Hurstville Real Estate and took up the Nationwide Realty franchise to form Schloeffel & Paul Nationwide Realty.

In 1999, Nationwide Realty merged with the powerful Queensland based PRD Realty giving the network world-wide contacts and more than 160 franchises and affiliates across Australia.

Throughout this time the directors and principals of Schloeffel & Paul and later Nationwide Realty Schloeffel & Paul have continuously emphasised the need for loyal and professional real estate practice and have developed a staff dedicated to the same high levels of service.

Our most senior members have earned an outstanding reputation in the wider community and have maintained extraordinarily long careers with Schloeffel & Paul. In an industry notorious for its 'fly by nighters' the directors of Schloeffel & Paul have dedicated themselves to the profession and to building a superior real estate group.
