Place Managing Director Paul Curtain has welcomed one of Brisbane Bayside’s most awarded agents, David Lazarus, as a Partner of the Place One Group.
Paul said the appointment, alongside the more recently relocated Place Indooroopilly office, reflects the strength of the One Group’s “West to Water” strategy and the brand’s long-term commitment to these areas.
“Place has a rich history in the Bayside, and bringing together our existing business with David’s creates an exciting new chapter for Wynnum Manly,” Paul shared.
“This office is already the leading business for property management and sales across the greater Bayside, and David’s leadership will only reinforce that position.”
David will focus on what he does best, listing, selling, and leading his team, while working with the leadership of Paul Curtain and One Group Principals Sam Kelso and Glenn Bool.
With more than a decade of success and over 550 homes sold, David has established himself as one of the Bayside’s most trusted agents, known for his calm, strategic approach and a reputation built on integrity and results.
David said the move was about creating the strongest possible platform for clients and his team.
“I have long admired Place’s vision and the One Group model. It empowers agents to lead locally while benefiting from the scale, systems and marketing strength of Place,” David said.
“For Bayside sellers and buyers, it means more reach, more opportunities and more results. This partnership is about raising the bar and positioning Wynnum Manly for its next evolution.”
The appointment also sees David’s award-winning team merge into Place Wynnum Manly, including:
- David Lazarus – Lead Agent & Partner
- Renee Brace – Co-Agent
- Jade Baki – Operations
- Catherine Underwood – Administrator
- Caroline Hyde – Agent
- Victoria Roberts – Property Manager
- Fiona Gordon – Property Manager
The announcement comes as Place confirms plans for a new flagship office set to open in the heart of Wynnum Manly in 2026, further cementing Place’s commitment to the Bayside and to long-term growth in one of Brisbane’s most competitive lifestyle-driven markets.
With David now on board as Partner, supported by his established team, the Wynnum Manly office is poised to accelerate its momentum and solidify its reputation as the Bayside’s leading agency.
