When it comes to the business of real estate, knowing the feel of a place is just as important as knowing its facts and figures. If you’re looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest, it’s always wise to work with a team who know your desired postcode inside out, and with agents who are well versed in good old fashioned local knowledge.

This is why McGrath Sutherland Shire have combined their business with First National Wollongong. 

Creating the ultimate fusion of local real estate forces, this merger was made four years ago, the only difference now is that the business will go by the official name of McGrath Wollongong, working as part of McGrath Sutherland and Illawarra, businesses that are known as leaders in the local residential market.

This move was made so that all agencies involved could be of better service to the existing and potential residents of the region. McGrath Wollongong will maintain the same owners and staff as it did when it went by the name First National Wollongong, to honour and strengthen its commitment to delivering their services with a touch of true local knowledge.

For those keeping an eye on the property market, this is incredibly good news. The move will allow the local agency to offer its first class guidance to a greater number of the area’s niche property markets, so as to provide its expert residential sales and property management services in every suburb of the Illawarra region.

Committed to attracting and developing only those agents who live and breathe the company’s core values, McGrath has become one of Australia’s most successful residential real estate groups since it’s beginnings in 1988.

“McGrath sets exceptionally high professional standards and upholds a unique culture of striving to achieve the best experience for our clients,” Mr Kersten said.

When you liaise with McGrath Wollongong, you don’t just work with any real estate agent, you work with a property extraordinaire.

“Our agents are equipped with the energy, skill and training required to achieve top results even under the most challenging market conditions,” Mr Kersten said.

Those who are looking to sell their homes will benefit from McGrath’s world class marketing packages, campaigns that are built using the agency’s suite of exclusive marketing tools. When you work with McGrath Wollongong, your home is not advertised with just a brochure and ‘For Sale’ sign, it’s promoted throughout the region, in Sydney and beyond, attracting a far broader scope of interest, and increasing your chances of a desirable result.

A world class, integrated real estate services business, McGrath Wollongong operates five business units from its head office on Kembla Street in the city’s central business district, providing its clients with residential property sales, mortgage broking, property management and auction services. With Mr Kersten overseeing all orders of proceeding, you can rest assured knowing that your property needs will be well taken care of.

“I’m an experienced Executive Manager with 15 years of industry experience, and specific skills in developing organisational strategies and implementing change to deliver exceptional growth. I also have a proven and tested history increasing key alliances and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders,” Mr Kersten said.
