A Community Event to Remember
On Sunday, June 2nd, Gardian hosted another unforgettable evening at
Harrup Park, bringing the community together for our regional auction night.
With seven fantastic properties across both residential and commercial sectors on offer, the night was full of energy and excitement from the very beginning.
Strong Results Across the Board
We’re proud to report that four properties sold — three residential under the hammer on the night, and a major commercial result prior to auction.
Mark Kelly secured the sale of a standout commercial asset at Maggiolo Drive for
$10 million , ahead of auction day — a clear demonstration of the strength of the Gardian Commercial team.
That puts our overall strike rate at 4 from 7, a fantastic result in any market and especially impressive in a regional setting.
More Sales on the Horizon
The remaining three properties are currently in promising negotiations, and we’re confident they’ll be wrapped up shortly.
For a regional community like Mackay to see four properties move through auction or pre-auction sales in one event is a strong vote of confidence in the local market.
Buyer Demand Was Strong
There was genuine competition in the room, with some residential properties selling above reserve — proof of the strong buyer demand currently at play.
Nearly 100 people attended, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the evening. Whether there to buy, support friends, or just take in the action, the crowd helped make it a night to remember.
Expert Auctioneering from Gordon MacDonald
We were also fortunate to have Gordon MacDonald fly in from Brisbane to call the auction. Gordon is our trusted auctioneer, and as always, he delivered with energy, clarity, and skill — helping drive the best possible results for our sellers.
Why Auctions Work … Especially in Mackay
Auctions offer transparency, urgency, and competition — key ingredients for achieving strong results in real estate.
Buyers see their competition and act decisively, while sellers benefit from real-time market feedback and the potential to sell above reserve.
For a market like Mackay, where conditions can shift quickly and opportunities arise fast, auctions help create the momentum needed to get deals done.
More Than Just a Sale – It's a Community Experience
In regional communities, auctions are more than just sales events — they’re nights out .
There’s food, drinks, and good conversation, and for many, it’s just as entertaining as a trip to the movies — with real-life stakes and excitement.
Save the Date: Next Auction Night is August 4th
Gardian already scheduled our next auction event on
Monday, August 4th , and we’re hard at work assembling another great collection of properties.
Whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or just curious, you’re more than welcome.
Come for a look, enjoy a bite to eat, grab a beer, and be part of one of the most exciting nights on the local real estate calendar.
