Having been immersed in the Real Estate industry for 20+ years, with the last 9 years predominantly in the Buyer Agency sphere, Marcus, together with his business partner and life partner Rowena Walton created Sp. Property Buyers. A Property Buyers service that is affordable across all price points, without compromising on any area of service.
Marcus’ real estate career began in the UK, in a typical high street agency, however it was when his son Leighton was born in 2006, the smart decision was made to raise him on the Lower North Shore of Sydney. In 2007 Marcus’ Sydney Real Estate career started with Ray White Willoughby/Northbridge. Successfully selling homes across all suburbs that make up the Lower north Shore. Marcus felt that the way in which homes are marketed and sold in Sydney confuse, disenchant, frustrate and cause unnecessary stress to buyers. Feeling the need to level the playing field, Marcus ‘jumped the fence’ to the Buyers side in 2015.
Now, dedicating his time to exclusively support buyers throughout the process and transaction. Marcus says “The largest single barrier for buyers to benefit from a genuine, forward thinking, pro-active Buyers Agency service is the cost.” This is why we designed Sp. Property Buyers in the way in which it exists. Typical Buyers Agents charge an expensive engagement fee and a percentage of the purchase price for their service. So, the more they pay for a property, the more commission they receive. This is nonsensical, Marcus & Rowena wanted to launch a Buyers Agency with a low entry point engagement fee and a sensible, low-cost (compared with our peers) fixed fee model upon success. This has proven to be very successful and most rewarding for us and more importantly our clients.
