McGrath Queensland engages new senior auctioneer in response to surging auction campaigns

July 8, 2025 – McGrath Estate Agents has announced the appointment of Marcus Muir as Head Auctioneer for Queensland, a strategic move to meet the escalating demand for auction services within the McGrath network, particularly the thriving Brisbane market. The key appointment follows McGrath's significant expansion in Queensland this year, with the opening of seven* new offices. It underscores the company's commitment to capitalising on the growing appeal of the auction process.

McGrath’s Brisbane and South-East Queensland offices have witnessed a notable surge in auction campaigns for residential property indicating a growing preference for the auction method.

Scott Kennedy-Green, McGrath’s Chief Auctioneer and Head of Network Auctions said, "The Queensland property market is dynamic and resilient, and we're seeing more and more vendors recognise the benefits of the auction process – transparency, speed and the potential to achieve premium results. We are strategically investing in the best talent to serve our clients."

The expansion of McGrath's Queensland footprint including recent openings in Ascot, Samford, Beenleigh and Mt Gravatt, has created a significant increase in the need for highly skilled auctioneers.
