History
We are Compton Green.
One of Melbourne’s leading independent real estate agencies and the largest in the inner west.
Our business was founded on integrity, passion, innovation and connection to community.
It all began in 1926, when two friends, with a shared passion for real estate and their local community, founded Compton & Green in Melbourne’s inner west, at 27 Ferguson Street Williamstown.
Thomas Duncan Compton and Edgar Charles Green started their business just ahead of a time of great global economic upheaval; the Wall Street Crash in 1929. Despite these challenges, they built a business on the strong foundations of integrity, passion and connection to community.
In the 1950s, Jack Green – Edgar’s son – took the helm, growing the business from a team of five to around 13. He led his people with humility and integrity, treating everyone as equals and was very involved in the local community as a Rotarian and a member of the Lion’s Club.
When Jack retired in 1983, he sold the business to Chris Angourias, who had been working with him since 1967. Community was also important to Chris, who was President of Rotary Williamstown in the late 1980s. During Chris’s time at the helm, the business was transformed with the introduction of computers and its first-ever client management system in the 1990s.
In 2003, Chris brought a talented real estate agent and award-winning auctioneer, Adrian Butera into Compton & Green. Chris was impressed with his energy and progressive thinking and knew he would one day be a safe and capable pair of hands for Compton & Green. Even more importantly, he knew that Adrian shared his values of integrity and loyalty to the community, holding them close to heart.
Fast forward to today, and Compton Green has grown into a thriving and diverse business.
