About Us
Wellington & Reeves has been part of Albany since 1948. Roy Wellington and Alex Reeves started the business on a handshake, and 78 years later it’s still run the same way: know the area, tell people the truth and do the work properly.
Albany is home to our main office on York Street, and to Albany’s largest residential rental portfolio. Our sales, rental and property management teams work across houses, land, rural blocks and commercial premises right across town, from the harbourside heritage streets to the newer family suburbs on the fringe.
Sales Appraisals
Albany’s property market moves quickly. House prices rose 25.7% through 2025, one of the strongest results among WA’s regional centres, so getting the price right from day one really matters. That takes current, local numbers, not a state-wide average, which is exactly what our sales team works from every day.
When you sell with Wellington & Reeves, you get a dedicated sales representative backed by the full team: a thorough, in-person appraisal, a marketing plan built around Albany buyers (many of whom are relocating from Perth, per REIWA and our own enquiry data) and support all the way through to settlement.
Rental Appraisals
A good rental appraisal in Albany has to look past square metreage and into the suburb itself. A three-bedroom in Spencer Park rents differently to the same house in Yakamia and demand shifts with seasonality. University intake, the fishing and tourism season and the flow of workers into the region’s energy and agriculture projects all play a part.
We price rentals against what’s genuinely happening in the area right now, including current listings, recent lettings and the calls our leasing team is fielding frequently fielding. A really clear, current read on what tenants want and what owners can expect is one of the perks of working with Albany’s largest rental portfolio.
Residential Property Management
Property management with Wellington & Reeves comes with a simple promise: no vacancy fees. If your property is empty, we don’t charge you a management fee for it. We think that’s fair and it keeps us focused on finding the right tenant rather than the first tenant.
Owners get PropertyMe portal access for real-time visibility, afterhours support for emergencies, and a team that actually answers the phone when a tenant calls about a hot water system at 9pm on a Sunday. Good property management is really about looking after both sides of the relationship, owner and tenant and that’s how our team approaches every property.
Commercial Property Management
Managing a commercial property is a different job to managing a house: different lease structures, maintenance obligations and tenant expectations. Our commercial team handles all of it, tenant sourcing and screening, lease negotiation and renewals, rent reviews, maintenance coordination and financial reporting built specifically for commercial owners.
Whether you own a retail shop on York Street, an office or an industrial or storage property, we look after the asset the way we’d want our own looked after, so you get consistent income and a tenant relationship that runs smoothly without needing you on the phone every month.

Find Your Dream Home in Albany
Albany has been here since 1826, older than Perth and it looks it in the best way. Heritage streetscapes run down to Princess Royal Harbour, Mount Clarence and Mount Melville frame the town on either side and the beaches at Middleton and Frenchman Bay are close enough to be part of daily life.
That mix shows up in the housing too. Established character homes near town, newer family houses in growth suburbs like Collingwood Park and Centennial Park and acreage on the fringes for those who want a bit more room. Whatever brought you here, a job change, a slower pace or family already in the area, the Wellington & Reeves team would love to how you what your budget can buy in Albany.
Looking To Rent in Albany?
Albany’s rental market moves fast, particularly for well-presented homes near the town centre, schools and the hospital. Whether you need something close to work or a family home with a bit of land, our leasing team is happy to help you find it.
Commercial Properties and Businesses
Albany’s commercial strip runs from York Street retail through to the industrial and marine precincts around the port, with tourism, fishing, agriculture and renewable energy all driving demand for premises. We handle commercial sales, leasing and property management across offices, retail shops, showrooms, storage and consultation suites, with Tim Simon’s commercial team bringing the local zoning and lease-structure knowledge that makes these deals easier.
Life in Albany
Albany is the oldest colonial settlement in Western Australia, established in December 1826, more than two years before Perth. That history is still visible everywhere: Patrick Taylor Cottage from 1832, Victorian-era buildings through the town centre, the National Anzac Centre and Museum of the Great Southern down at the harbour.
It’s also a working town. Fishing boats still come into Princess Royal Harbour, the Albany Wind Farm sits above Torndirrup National Park and the surrounding farmland and vineyards feed both the local economy and a growing food and wine tourism trade. Weekends mean Misery Beach (Tourism Australia’s Best Beach in 2022) or the walk trails up Mount Clarence and Mount Melville.
At around 35,000 people, Albany is big enough to have everything a family needs and small enough that the agent who sells your house probably knows your street.
