Our Story

Keyline Realty first opened its doors some 43 years ago with a mission to provide honest and ethical real estate services for buyers and sellers in Nambour, Yandina, Woombye, Palmwoods, and surrounds.

Unafraid to do things differently from traditional real estate agents, founder Ron Hicks and his team quickly earned the reputation as the most trustworthy real estate business in the Hinterland region. This reputation still stands today.

We operate with a customer-first philosophy and a dedication to doing what’s right for you. 

So you can move through your property journey with clarity, calm and complete confidence.

A Local Family Business

Now four decades on, our team has helped more than 16,000 people buy and sell homes around the Sunshine Coast.

Director Ron Hicks still keeps a close eye on all aspects of the business and his son Andrew who joined the team 6 years ago after a highly successful career in Nursing and Pharmaceutical sales is now Principal.

Andrew sells plenty of real estate while managing his amazing team which includes his daughter Holly – who is shaping up to be one of the brightest young agents in the hinterland. You could say real estate is in their DNA.

Meet the team

I have dealt with Keyline three times. My 1st and 2nd was with Andrew’s father and Andrew has continued the service and solid community spirit of a local company”

I recently employed KEYLINE REALTY to sell my property on Mapleton Road, Nambour. Their expertise and caring efficiency are second to none. Mark Dunlop, Adriaan and Zara all did their utmost to provide me with a Super Sale. The whole team at KEYLINE place the utmost stress on finding and looking after both Seller and Buyers. I will always recommend KEYLINE to any prospective Clients, my family and I would only ever consider KEYLINE to buy or sell our property. JO.

I recently worked with Nicky, Zara, and the team at Keyline Realty to sell my home at Moss Day Pl Burnside and I'm thrilled with the result. They were all professional, friendly, and efficient, which made the process so much easier for me. Their dedication to ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience was evident throughout. They kept me informed every step of the way and represented me well at buyer and pre-settlement inspections. I'm grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend Keyline Realty to anyone in need of a real estate company that goes the extra mile.

I recently purchased a property in Nambour, it being my first home. The team at Keyline Realty in Nambour, especially Mark & Zara have been incredible! They went above and beyond and made what is an extremely stressful time so much easier with their helpfulness, advice & positivity. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns that I might have and kept the lines of communication open with everyone involved. I couldn't have done it without them ( literally ) & I am so grateful! Thank you so much for our new home!

Mark, Zara and the Keyline team were just so wonderful to work with we four siblings to have our family home sold. Their professionalism , optimism and enthusiasm, effort, diligence, respect, knowledge and thoughtfulness was always prominent. We were never left wondering about what was happening as Mark was in touch each time to update us on viewings and feedback received after all viewings or open home days or the progress of contracts. After the first sale fell through because of the buyers lack of finance I thought the sales process might falter, but Mark was right on it with a viewing that afternoon and an open house the next day and another contract a few weeks later that has now been completed. Zara was also fantastic in her work with us and our solicitors to progress the contracts. We highly recommend Keyline.
