McGrath has bolstered its presence in the Sunshine State by opening a new office in the hills of Mount Gravatt.
At the helm of the new McGrath Mount Gravatt office are joint principals Ryan Poh and Samuel Yang, who will use their combined real estate experience to drive success in south-east Queensland.
Under the two principals, the agency’s service coverage will span from Carindale in the north to Calamvale in the south, including Rochedale in the east, and Mount Gravatt and Robertson in the west.
Poh brings more than 10 years of experience in the real estate sector, and initially found his passion for property while working within his family’s property development business in Singapore.
He would then complete a master’s degree in marketing at the University of Western Australia, before transitioning into real estate and working across the residential and commercial property sectors with various Australian real estate brands.
With his decade of experience across the finance and property sectors, Yang cultivated a range of insights in the sale and management of residential property.
Yang also holds diverse qualifications, such as a Certificate 2 in business and commerce at TAFE Queensland and a bachelor’s degree in Chinese and Japanese translation, which has helped him build his international network of connections.
With both principals being residents of the Mount Gravatt area, Poh said that demand for property in the region has surged due to its status as “a sweet spot for commuters who want city convenience without the city hustle”.
Yang highlighted the variety of schools and family appeal of Mount Gravatt, and pipeline of new infrastructure under development in the area, stating that properties offering close access to these amenities are “very much in demand”.
“With the median sale price for houses in Mount Gravatt in the vicinity of $1.14 million, it reflects an annual capital growth of 16.86 per cent,” Yang said.
“The demand for family-sized homes with good land is strong, with recent growth in prices due to increased interest from buyers seeking more space,” he added.
To leverage the growth opportunities in the area, Poh noted that the team of 15 at McGrath Mount Gravatt are a community-focused team that brings a strong buyer network, and is all passionate about driving growth for the McGrath network.
“We couldn’t be happier to join such a strong and respected brand as McGrath and benefit from their market focus, technology, systems and culture,” Poh said.
Head of franchise network for McGrath, Chris Mourd, said that the establishment of a new location in Mount Gravatt was a move that furthered the brand’s vision for long-term growth in Queensland.
Mourd said that the Mount Gravatt and the Sunnybank Hills corridor were key areas of growth that continue to attract significant interstate interest due to their “comparative affordability and lifestyle appeal”.
“We see excellent upside in the years ahead and regard the south-east Queensland region as a cornerstone of our expansion plans,” Mourd said.
“This area of the Sunshine State has rapidly established itself as a prime destination for lifestyle-driven movers and astute investors,” he concluded.
