About Alan

With real estate his first and only career choice, Alan McGillivray has made property his life. Starting in sales before rising to own and manage his own agency, Alan has been a Licenced Estate Agent since 1985 and a property professional since his late teens. While always focused on property, Alan's career has spanned diverse roles. Moving into property development in the early 2000s, Alan made his mark on the Bayside suburbs, before returning to the world of corporate real estate in operations management for a multi-franchise brand. Alan's diverse roles have been intrinsic to retaining his enthusiasm for the industry throughout a long career. "Having worked in almost every area of the industry, I am very clear on the true meaning of success... and how to achieve it for my clients, "he says. Years of experience translate into a quietly confident style that sees Alan's clients benefiting from a highly strategic, goal-focused approach. Never flashy, always diligent, Alan's reputation for providing a superior real estate sales service is well-deserved. More than just a talented negotiator, Alan attributes his success to an innate understanding of his clients' needs and a committed approach to meeting them. "The industry is full of people who will promise you the world," says Alan. "But very few have the staying power to live up to their words. Behind the promises and beyond the self-promotion, the agents who perform are those who take a strategic approach to marketing, a diligent approach to communication and a persistent approach to negotiation." A Bayside resident with strong local expertise, Alan is raising his school-age family in the area and exhibits a solid working knowledge of the local sporting scene - garnered through the Thomas St netball centre and early evenings at the Tulip St basketball courts. Combined with the all-hours demands of his career, it leaves little time for managing his own fitness... although it's hard to imagine that this dedicated agent is ever anything less than diligent when it comes to regular walking and semi-regular gym sessions!

Amazing experience..Truly customer centric

Alan was a joy to work with. Calm under pressure and always thinking about the customer. Does not come across as pushy. Explain the pros and cons and lets you as a customer make your choice. Awesome experience.
