Truthfully, I can’t think of anything more exciting, dynamic or enjoyable than building and managing one of the most successful property agencies in the Ku-ring-gai area.

Before my wife Samantha and I were inspired to open our own North Shore property office, in 2000, I’d spent 8 years immersed in the intricacies of refined hospitality for a well-known International 5 Star Luxury Hotel Chain.

I’ve been able to apply much of what I learned at the luxury end of the hotel industry to the world of Real Estate. Ensuring our clients feel genuinely special, creating a welcoming, sophisticated and finessed experience and remembering that people are at the epicentre of everything we do - perhaps the most important lessons learned and applied.

These principals are at the heart of what has made McConnell Bourn such an excellent company with a strong brand, and which attracts some of the most talented and respected people in our industry today to be part of our success.

For thirty years, it has been a privilege to be trusted by vendors, buyers, investors and tenants to market, negotiate or manage their property asset(s). Our clients are from all over the world, with an increasing number coming from China, UK and interstate.

With the onset of CV19, we have had to learn to adopt new ways of doing things, and quickly integrate new communications technology into our working days. There are already encouraging signs that our clients have enthusiastically embraced initiatives such as
 “MB  ZOOM-ROOM”, our online auction platform which captures the excitement and energy of a live property auction and which of course is safe and weatherproofed.

I love sharing my beliefs, my local knowledge and my passion for achieving excellence in everything we do with our people. Inspiring them and seeing them develop and grow as property professionals is a really rewarding aspect of my role as CEO/MD of what is widely regarded as Sydney’s leading boutique property firm.
