About Mark

Mark Josem is the founder of Storyhouse and a trusted Inner East Melbourne real estate agent and auctioneer specialising in $2–$6M family homes, with experience across $1–$10M and a strong focus on Boroondara and surrounding Inner East suburbs. He works across blue-chip, family-focused suburbs including Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Camberwell, Kew, Malvern, Malvern East, Armadale, Toorak and Glen Iris. Before real estate, Mark led a national sales team of more than 65 people within a business generating over $250 million in annual revenue. That experience shaped his commercial judgement, negotiation discipline and ability to move decision-makers under pressure - skills that now underpin his auctioneering and high-stakes negotiations. Mark uses a selling system he created, built on a simple truth: price changes when more buyers compete. His strategy expands buyer exposure, builds emotional investment early, and converts that demand into stronger competition at the point of sale. Campaigns combine social-always, video-mandatory real estate marketing with proven selling fundamentals, designed to reach buyers before and between active search, shaping what buyers notice and remember so more arrive ready to compete. Mark conducts his own English–Mandarin auctions, removing translation delays and maintaining fast, uninterrupted bidding momentum - a critical advantage in Boroondara and Inner East family home campaigns. Hands-on from preparation to negotiation, he guides story, strategy and buyer relationships end to end, applying clear commercial judgement with a considered family-home sensibility that builds confidence when it matters most.

Two for Two

Mark did a terrific job managing the sale of 2 apartments for us. We had a super tight timeframe, but Mark got the job done with very good results. As overseas vendors, Mark made what could have been a complicated exercise very simple and convenient.

Mark Josem from Jellis Craig Real Estate Agents

When I first met Mark in November 2015, he seemed a very pleasant, well presented and organised young professional. He clearly explained the selling process - including property assessment, renovation/styling possibilities, advertising/marketing, costs, timelines and the auction process. He provided a file of useful information, which included recent sales of similar properties in the area over the last 18 months. We were undecided about selling, so he kept in touch with me by phone on a regular, but not intrusive, way. When we finally made the decision to sell in April 2016, we met with Mark again. At this stage, he was able to individualise the information for our property. We visited the property together to discuss what needed or could be done to the property to best capture the market. I made the decision to renovate, based on his excellent information about the usual types of buyers for our property. Mark was then able to introduce us to an excellent company who specialised in renovations. After the property was beautifully renovated and styled, Mark then concentrated on the advertising and marketing areas. He talked us through the merits of particular types of advertising and what he thought would be best for our property. The timeline for 'open house' was put in place and Mark clearly explained the weekly reports that would be sent. During this period, It was evident that Mark and his team were very busy collecting useful information about prospective buyers and keeping in close contact with anyone who may be interested in our property. He was also in contact with us by phone and was always able to allay our fears and ease our nervousness with both his knowledge and his friendly, calm manner. The auction attracted the largest group of buyers and the highest price ever for any townhouse in this group! We could not have been happier with the result and without hesitation we are delighted to recommend Mark and the Jellis Craig team.
