Felix Reitano Real Estate - Ingham

About Felix Reitano Real Estate - Ingham

The Felix Reitano family firm is one of the oldest family businesses operating in Ingham. Having been selling in the Hinchinbrook district since 1923 the family and their staff are ready to assist you with anything that you need.

Felix Reitano the first originally arrived into Sydney from Italy and worked delivering fruit to the Governor’s House, where the Governor taught him English. But Mr Reitano eventually moved to the Herbert River district to buy a cane farm. He commenced business as a Commission Agent, Auctioneer & Barber in Halifax in a room at the Commercial Hotel in 1923.

Because he was able to speak both English and Italian, Mr Reitano acted as an interpreter between both cultures. Felix raised his family of four sons and two daughters on a farmhouse between Halifax and Taylors Beach, which has since been renamed Reitano’s Road.

He eventually moved the business to Herbert Street, Ingham and commenced trading. Felix’s son, Felix the second, moved its business to the current site at 109 Cartwright Street, Ingham in 1972 after repeated flooding in Herbert Street.

In the 1980s Felix and his brother Bert, along with Felix’s son (Felix the third), commenced furniture display trips into Queensland’s Gulf Country, up to Cape York and to Thursday Island.

In 1997, the Reitano’s were awoken early one morning to the shocking news that their store was on fire, gutting the entire building. The family set about rebuilding and now operate from a fully airconditioned office and showroom on the same site at 109 Cartwright Street.

Today, Felix (the third) and his son Felix the fourth (known as Peter) are the people to see for all your real estate needs – whether it be residential, commercial or rural needs. They are both General Auctioneers.

Judy Reitano (Felix’s wife) is the company’s head Property Manager and along with Leanne Liddle (nee. Succio) & new trainees Kaci Newman & Emma Marinoni they spend many hours to ensure that property owners have their properties rented and also assisting tenants find the right properties.

Margaret (Felix’s sister) is the head of the furniture division of the business. After Felix Reitano Real Estate sell you your house Margaret and the furniture team at Felix Reitanos are ready to assist you in furnishing your house.
