Most owners think of "the exit" as a single event — the day the business sells. The truth, for any owner who also holds the premises their business operates from, is that the exit is two events that have to be sequenced. Sell the property too late and you are negotiating from weakness with a buyer who knows the operation is already gone. Sell the business too early and you have stranded the building.
Fisher & Fisher exists to solve that sequencing problem: an integrated practice — advisory, real estate, education — built so a single principal can hold the whole arc of the exit, from the first private conversation to the final settlement of both assets.
The first conversation. The full plan.
Every client engagement begins here. We sit with the owner — and usually the spouse, the accountant and one trusted adviser — and map every asset on and off the balance sheet: the operating business, the premises, the goodwill, the equipment, the brand, the lease structures, the personal property. From that map we design the sequence: what is sold, in what order, to whom, on what timeline, and how the proceeds flow.
Owners aged 50–70 who have decided the exit is real, but haven't yet decided how. Typical engagement: 6–18 months of advisory work leading into the live transactions.
QLD-licensed. Commercial. Owner-focused.
A licensed Queensland real estate practice that exists for one purpose: to transact commercial premises that sit underneath operating businesses. We do not list houses. We do not chase listings. We negotiate the building sale that quietly underwrites the entire exit, and we coordinate it with the business sale so neither transaction undermines the other. Sold by an agent who has developed property, and a principal who has banked it.
Owners whose business operates from premises they own — freehold, family-trust held, SMSF-held — where the bricks and the operation must be untangled with care.
For owners who learn before they engage.
The education arm: workshops, masterclasses, a curated library, and a quarterly cohort programme that walks owners through the Asset First System™ at their own pace. Most attendees are 18–36 months from a possible exit and want to understand the moves before they make them. A smaller number engage Advisory at the end. Most simply leave better prepared — which is the entire point.
Owners who prefer to learn the methodology before they buy the service. Founders, second-generation owners, and the advisers who refer them.
Every Fisher & Fisher engagement — Advisory, Realty or Academy — is delivered through David Fisher's proprietary three-phase methodology. It is the operating system underneath everything we do.
