John McGrath - McGrath Estate Agents

Our guest is Mr. John McGrath, Founder & Executive Director of ASX-listed property business, McGrath as part of our interview series. In a diverse career spanning in excess of three decades, John has established a formidable reputation across Australia as a real estate pioneer and businessman, owing as much to his success in building one of the Country's most recognised brands as his success as a best-selling author and panellist of Network Ten's Shark Tank television series. Following the launch of McGrath Estate Agents with a single office in 1998, the business has since expanded rapidly across Australia's East Coast, encompassing some one-hundred-and-eleven offices and two-thousand team members, transacting over $19bn worth of property in the past financial year - cementing it's position within the top echelon of real estate businesses in the Nation. Lauded as a visionary, John has become a highly-respected and sought-after leader, with his specialist industry knowledge regularly called upon in both a Board and Executive level capacity, including through a number of high-profile appointments over the past twenty-five years. Our discussion with John explores his background, the launch & success of the McGrath business, his approach in overcoming adversity & the key lessons he's learnt from his career in business.
