It is a big step, especially after what has happened over the past few years. Most people have taken a loss in some way or form in recent times and are still in recovery mode. We’re all in the same boat.
Gardian sold a total of 75 properties for this 3-month period (July-August-September) out of 340 properties sold in the Mackay area. This gives our agency a 22% market share. Great numbers considering that there are more than 40 agencies in town and we only have a sales team of 5 agents.
Gardian will be holding our next In-Room Auctions on Monday the 27th of May in the Gardian Corporate Office from 6pm. The Auction will be followed immediately by a Buyer Education Evening.

‘Have confidence in this great place that we live in’, is the message coming out of many recent events in Mackay.

There is a lot of positivity in our market place at the moment. Whether it be due to the increase in building activity, drop in unemployment levels, job growth, low rental vacancy rates, increasing rents, major infrastructure plans for the region or all of the above.

This is a direct result of this positivity. Buyers now have the confidence to take that next step and purchase.
