Steve proudly joins the RE/MAX team, and heads up Irvine Property Co. with wife Michelle after a highly successful sales career in the surfing industry; over 16 years in Secondary teaching and in leadership within the State, private and international education systems and multiple years as a sales agent and acquisitions manager for some of the Sunshine Coast's most successful estate agencies.
These preliminary years-combined with entering the real estate industry and working under the tutelage of some of the Coast's most respected agents-that Steve cultivated and honed his polished, innovative approach to sales and negotiation. Perhaps of greater value is Steve's intrinsic passion for property that is married with versatility-he possesses an innate ability to understand and meet the personal needs of each of his clients to ensure that a strategic and stress-free outcome of the highest standard is achieved.
With a reputation for a peerless commitment to exceptional client service and combining comprehensive communications with both buyers and sellers through a proven marketing strategy, Steve's history in the property industry speaks for itself: multiple street and suburb sales records, intimate connections with some of the industry's highest performers and a reputation for forging strong, meaningful relationships with both buyers and sellers that transcends well-beyond the property transaction process.
With honesty and transparency, exceptional attention to detail, concerted effort given to remaining updated with industry trends, and a philosophy that "every property, irrespective of size or location, deserves excellence", Steve's clients have repeatedly expressed their confidence in partnering with him.
Steve's list of acquisitions and sales is wide-ranging: from golf course estate property to beachside apartments, boutique acreage property and large-scale englobo hectare transactions. And with several years in a property acquisitions role for one of the Coast's leading residential developers, Steve's knowledge of greenfield development, land zoning codes and rural residential land opportunities throughout Queensland and interstate is arguably second-to-none.
His knowledge and industry connections have proven invaluable to many land and small acreage owners who are looking to sell, or simply looking to maximise their property to its highest potential. And he continues to be a go-to for agents who seek his knowledge and expertise for their clients.
Steve understands that real estate transactions are important milestones and being a market leader is not achieved through luck or good fortune; instead, it must be earned then proven. Time and time again.
Steve is the proud father of two beautiful daughters and husband to his gorgeous wife and business partner, Michelle. Outside of his career, Steve cherishes time with family and is an avid surfer; has a passion for travel, having lived and worked in Shanghai, China and the Fijian Islands; and is actively engaged in his local church community.
