McGrath opens city location
MCGRATH Estate Agents have opened an office in Cairns, as it sees great potential for growth in this important Far North Queensland market.
McGrath has strategically earmarked Cairns as a region on the rise, supported by evidence of a strong growth trajectory that sees population growth projected to reach 72,000 by 2050.
McGrath head of franchise Chris Mourd said Cairns was a rare regional market that blended lifestyle with genuine investment fundamentals.
“It is attracting south coast sea-changers chasing beachfront living as well as local families wanting to benefit from the growing infrastructure and lifestyle attractions,” he said.
McGrath Cairns principal Mark Turnbull said that, while the city provided essential services to the region, it also offered a relaxed coastal culture attracting sea-changers, retirees and families.
“Cairns provides a genuine tropical lifestyle with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree and wet tropics hinterland,” said Mr Turnbull, a long-term resident of the city.
The office is at 122 Sheridan St, Cairns CBD and has a sales team of four.
