Felix Reitano Real Estate

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. They celebrated 100 years of business in Ingham in 2023! 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.
