The secret to building long relationships: Mark McGill

โ€œFor me, I've always found it really beneficial to catch up with buyers and sellers a month after the sale and all the emotion of the move has died down. It's good to just catch up with people and get to know them on a real level.โ€

With two decades almost evenly split as an architect and real estate agent, Mark established himself as one of the top agents on the Sunshine Coast. Founder of The McGill Group, Mark received the 2019 AREA award for Excellence in Customer Service.

In this episode of the Elevate podcast, Mark explains why he has a standing lunch reservation on Fridays with the unsung heroes of the local community, why he continues to retain his architect licence and how a combination of technology and paper-based systems make the perfect mix for The McGill Group.

Mark also reveals how he prepared for his 2019 AREAโ€™s submission and what the recognition means to him.
