"I am a property sector professional who has effectively been engaged with the business since 1987 as the Managing Director of Colliers in Cairns." I have extensive experience with all aspects of the business, including transactions and rentals in business, mechanical, property the board, private, rustic, and undertaking deals, having worked in a typically small market. Being born in North Queensland and having a family history in the property industry, I've developed a strong understanding of properties and people all across the region, from Townsville north to Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands. Things don't always function the same way in cities as they do in more "rural locations," and it's this neighbourhood information that gives trades their value. Working out methods on evaluating property conditions, such as Receiverships, Mortgagee, and neighbouring Government Sales, has taken up a significant portion of my career. As a licenced property and plant and equipment auctioneer, I've had the good fortune to conduct auctions and consultancies in a variety of locations and circumstances, including the Northern Territory, South Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, as well as the South Island of New Zealand. I have a long track record of success in a variety of property fields, and I've had the privilege of overseeing a number of the district's most important transaction crusades for more than two decades. The Emanuele Group – Development and Land Bank Sites, Rankin Brothers – sawmilling interests, private and country properties, improvement locales; Capital Globe – Subdivision, private parcels, and a multi-million dollar home were some of the significant portfolio deals I was responsible for beginning in the late 1980s. CEC Group – Broad grounds land banks, development locations, regions, mechanical destinations; Glenwood Residences – Commercial properties and homes; Williams Corporation – Land Bank Sites; H&S Vision – Paradise Palms Golf Course, development locales, lofts... to name a few.
