SYDNEY real estate guru John McGrath is ready to shake up the Melbourne property scene by opening an agency in the beachside suburb of St Kilda.
McGrath said the new office is part of the group’s strategic move to establish a presence in Victoria. This brings the current office count across the East Coast of Australia to 78.
The company is also in the process of opening a further three offices early in 2016.
“Expanding our focus to Melbourne is a natural progression for us as we believe that it is arguably one of the best real estate markets in the world, an urbane international city that sits alongside London and New York.
“In terms of size it is second only to Sydney, and we believe it presents a wonderful opportunity for our company to bring a very high level of customer service and a broader marketing reach to an already very savvy consumer,” he added.
McGrath St Kilda team of 23 will be led by Josh Stirling, Shane Goldfarb and Michael Townsend, who have successfully operated in the area for the last six years.
“The two main factors that attracted us to McGrath centred around the company’s outstanding reputation as an industry leader, and its superior training and support,” Stirling said.
“Joining McGrath was an easy choice for us and we feel their entry into Melbourne is one of the most exciting initiatives in real estate here in many years and will benefit buyers and sellers enormously,” he added.
