HARCOURTS ALBANY SALES MANAGER

The bulk of Mark’s real estate career has been as a Senior Auctioneer, having called over 8000 auctions across more than a decade. Prior to becoming an auctioneer, Mark had careers in the banking and software industries, where he led and managed teams in both banks and technology companies.
Because the auctioneering fraternity within Harcourts are heavily involved throughout all stages of a sales campaign, Mark has established a formidable repertoire of experience complemented by that taken from his management roles.
Transcting real estate in Canterbury following the 2011 earthquakes was also an important period learning to deal with exceptions when selling property and during a sales campaign.
Mark is always looking to improve his leadership skills and tries to lead with empathy, respect and integrity, always putting the customer first while the same time supporting his team to the utmost.
