Building a Business on Family Values: Top Performing Sydney Father-son Duo Launch with UrbanX
Father-son duo, Frank and Riccardo Caterina, have built a strong name for themselves on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. With a vision to create a boutique business built on family values, the pair have launched Caterina Property, powered by UrbanX.
Before embarking on this venture, both Frank and Riccardo were seasoned agents, dedicating their professional lives to matching individuals with their dream homes. What keeps their fire for real estate burning is, “Meeting different people daily, selling beautiful properties, and helping buy and sell their dream homes,” says Frank, who boasts an impressive 44-year career in the industry.
The decision to build their own business had been on their mind for the past five years, ever since Riccardo joined the industry to follow in his father’s footsteps. The duo recognised the need for flexibility, the pursuit of their own goals and the desire to grow a family business.
Frank and Riccardo were fed up with the limitations and frustrations that often comes with working for someone else and wanted to be free themselves. So, they took a leap and found a new path with UrbanX.
Frank sheds light on their choice to partner with UrbanX, stating, “I Felt the most comfortable with Dan Argent and all the systems UrbanX had in place.”
Expressing their excitement for this new chapter, Frank shares, “Working with UrbanX has been a great experience, everything is planned, tasks are prioritised and found it very organised”. The duo looks forward to offering the Sydney Northern Beaches a boutique, friendly service that spans generations.
Looking back on launching their own business, Frank’s only regret is clear: “I should have done it sooner”.
With their collaboration with UrbanX, Frank and Riccardo are able to run their own agency that perfectly aligns with their family values, while all the tedious administrative tasks are expertly handled, freeing them to focus on what matters most.
