Kollosche Welcomes Shane Smollen in Strategic Partnership

Real estate leaders Michael Kollosche and Shane Smollen have announced a new partnership that is set to shape the future of Kollosche and strengthen its position as a premium brand in Southeast Queensland.

Mr Smollen, widely regarded as one of Australia’s most accomplished real estate operators, brings decades of experience in growing high-performance businesses and mentoring some of the nation’s leading agents. His philosophy of prioritising quality and productivity over scale aligns strongly with Kollosche’s boutique, client-first ethos.

Michael Kollosche says the partnership comes at a pivotal moment for the company:

“Shane’s leadership record speaks for itself. His ability to grow businesses strategically while maintaining a high-performance culture made him a natural fit. Together, we see significant opportunity not only on the Gold Coast but across Southeast Queensland and beyond.”

Now permanently based on the Gold Coast, Mr Smollen says the move is about timing and alignment.

“Michael and his team have built a premium platform for agents to succeed, and I believe the potential here is enormous. This partnership is about building on that foundation while staying true to what makes Kollosche unique.”
