Next Gen Silver Founding Partner: Hennessy Real Estate

At the heart of Gunnedah’s thriving property scene stands Hennessy Real Estate - an independent, family-owned agency built on trust, results, and relationships that genuinely matter.

Founded in 2013 by respected real estate professional Ben Hennessy, the agency has become known for its calm, client-first approach and proven track record across residential, rural, and lifestyle properties. With 22 years of experience in the industry, Ben brings a wealth of knowledge and a grounded, heartfelt approach to every transaction - always mindful that property decisions are, at their core, life decisions.

The Hennessy name has long held a quiet presence in the region. Ben’s father, a former stock and station agent in the 1990s, and his mother, a deeply supportive and guiding influence throughout his life, helped shape the values that underpin the business today: humility, honesty, and a genuine commitment to community.

As President of the Gunnedah Chamber of Commerce (2023–2024), Ben played a pivotal role in restoring the Chamber’s voice during a time of change for local business. His leadership - rooted in listening, backing people properly, and showing up when it counts - continues to guide the culture of Hennessy Real Estate. Under his direction, the agency blends timeless values with modern strategy, delivering standout results without losing sight of what matters most: people.

Ben’s dedication to the community extends far beyond real estate. As a mentor and proud sponsor of the NextGen program, he invests in the next generation of regional leaders - those who are shaping the future of country Australia with clarity, courage, and care.

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply planning your next chapter, Hennessy Real Estate is here for the long haul - grounded, experienced, and wholeheartedly local.

“Real leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about listening, showing up, and backing others when it matters most. If I can help someone take the next step with a bit more belief - that’s a legacy worth contributing to.” - Ben Hennessy
