Pat O'Driscoll Real Estate commenced business in December 1986, in a small shared office arrangement with a staff of 2.

In 1988, the business expanded into the adjoining office. We then relocated to larger premises in 1989, which were purchased and renovated to accommodate the growing business, and allow for expansion.

In the same year a branch office was opened on the Northside of Rockhampton. At this point, the number of staff had grown to 8. In 1993, the business experienced further growth. A new architecturally designed building was constructed in the centre of the city.

In April 1994, a second branch office was opened at Morayfield North of Brisbane. In December 1997, a decision was made to sell the Northside office and Morayfield, and consolidate the business to increase the operation and staff in the South Rockhampton office, which now operates out of an area of some 260 sq.m., accommodating 16 staff.
