About Ben

E: ben@gardian.com.au

M: 0407 514 983

Ben Kerrisk started his real estate career in 2008 and is the Principal of Gardian Real Estate. Before this Ben had spent 30 years of his life in a classroom, with 13 years of these on the other side of the desk. After working as a teacher and deputy principal of a local primary school, Ben made, what he calls, the natural transition into the real estate industry. “I’m still in education; whether it be educating myself, educating buyers, educating sellers or educating colleagues. It’s just that the subject has changed. It’s not Mathematics or English anymore its Real Estate.” His calm and friendly manner, combined with his fresh and innovative approach to the Sales process, has helped him achieve outstanding results for his clients.

Having lived in the Mackay region since 1999 has enabled Ben to develop an extensive network of contacts that appreciate his professionalism and humble approach. Ben's sales performance is rewarded by the steady stream of referrals and repeat business he receives. In addition, his vendors appreciate his solid work ethic and ability to negotiate effectively in any situation.

With a growing family of three boys, Ben realises the strains involved in the selling and buying process and his aim is to make the process as stress free as possible for his clients. As a father and as a former teacher, he is inspired to care for the next generation. “When I was younger, I saw many people close to me, including myself, make some not-so-good property choices. I believe as agents, it is our primary role to help our clients make informed decisions regarding their property portfolio, whether it’s their first home or their 20th, it’s up to us to educate them.”

When not assisting his clients, Ben relishes time with his family and coaching junior football. A true professional, Ben works to ensure each sale is completed efficiently, pragmatically and to everyone's complete satisfaction. Ben will happily provide you with a marketplace appraisal. Feel free to give Ben a call on 0407 514 983.

About Mick

E: mick@gardian.com.au

M: 0408 777 971

Mick McLeod knows Mackay. The canefarmer's son, former local business owner, dedicated family man, fanatical sportsman, and having worked for some of our most iconic local businesses, has local knowledge and experience oozing through his veins. Mick brings a unique skill set to Gardian Real Estate and our valued clients. He knows what these clients want, because he has been there. Mick grew up on his parents' local cane farm. He graduated university in Rockhampton (before there was a Mackay campus). His first fulltime job was as a labourer. His second was in travel (for Qantas). He then opened his own travel agency, which he and his partners built into one of the most successful in the region. In recent years Mick has further honed his sales and marketing skills within the advertising team at 7Mackay. Through his work life he has forged a close relationship with all tiers of Mackay community, from families seeking the best value holiday to the city's most influential businessmen marketing their brands. Underpinning this is a sporting involvement - both on and off-field - that has imbedded the McLeod name across sports including rugby league, cricket, horse racing, basketball and touch football. Beside him always has been his wife Kath and their four adult children. Mick has had a passion for, and involvement in, real estate for some time. Mick said “yes” to an opportunity to work with one of Mackay’s leading real estate agents, Ben Kerrisk. This combination has been a great success. Other than family, Mick lists his proudest achievement as etching a name among the thousands of Mackay people he has been involved with across four decades, as someone they can trust and rely on.
