Gerard McCarthy - McCarthy Estate Agents
Gerard McCarthy is the Principal of McCarthy Estate Agents and has over 15 years experience in the real estate space.
Gerard originally trained as a draughtsman and before coming to Sydney, worked in Ireland, UK and the Middle East. Three years after arriving in Sydney he started a computer aided design company with four friends selling computer solutions to architects and engineers.
In his thirties, Gerard developed an interest in financial freedom. Having in his words, ‘put off’ getting his head around how to manage personal finances, he decided it was time to educate himself. He started reading books and participated in numerous courses and seminars. Like most of us, he has had his fair share of failures and successes and attributes this time to triggering his love affair with real estate which continues today.
Gerard began selling property off the plan and gained a great understanding of how marketing works. He then worked in traditional real estate sales for a large global real estate franchise, learning the ropes, before he opened McCarthy Estate Agents.
McCarthy Estate Agents handle sales, auctions, leasing and property management.
Gerard is passionate about the community, playing the beautiful game, coaching the Balmain Football Club’s Wildcats women’s team and promoting small business events and charities in the community as seen in his recently launched www.RozelleTV.com.au
