There is something powerful about long term consistency in real estate, and that is exactly what has been recognised with Chris Pace and Damien Michael being named 2025 Top Agents for Tanawha by realestate.com.au. It is an award that reflects more than just strong sales results. It represents trust, performance, and the ability to consistently deliver for clients in one of the Sunshine Coast’s most tightly held pockets.
Their journey on the Sunshine Coast tells a story that many in the industry admire but few replicate. Back in 2013, they took a leap and introduced McGrath Sunshine Coast to the region, bringing with it the reputation and standards set by John McGrath. What began as a small operation built from the ground up has grown into a leading agency presence, now spanning Buderim, Mooloolaba and Coolum, supported by a team of around 50 professionals.
That growth has never been about size alone. It has been driven by a clear focus on people, both clients and team, and a commitment to delivering a level of service that genuinely stands apart. Their team first mindset has shaped a culture where experience, communication and accountability come together to produce consistently strong outcomes.
Chris Pace brings a depth of local knowledge and a calm, considered approach that instils confidence in both buyers and sellers. With close to two decades of experience, his strength lies in building relationships and guiding clients through the process with clarity and care. Alongside him, Damien Michael is known for his energy, directness and exceptional negotiating ability, backed by more than 20 years in the industry and a track record that includes some of the Sunshine Coast’s most notable sales. Together, they offer a balanced approach that blends strategy, insight and execution.
Recognition from realestate.com.au is significant because it is grounded in real performance. It reflects how agents connect with buyers, how effectively they market property, and how consistently they achieve results. For Tanawha, a suburb known for its premium homes and lifestyle appeal, this level of recognition highlights the impact Chris and Damien continue to have in the local market.
For anyone considering buying or selling on the Sunshine Coast, the strength of the agency behind the agent is just as important. McGrath Sunshine Coast has built a reputation for delivering a six star experience, combining innovative marketing with genuine local expertise. Clients benefit not only from the leadership of Chris and Damien, but from a collaborative team environment where every campaign is carefully executed to achieve the best possible result.
A key advantage that continues to attract both buyers and sellers is access to exclusive off market opportunities through the McGrath Sunshine Coast website. These properties are not publicly advertised, giving buyers early access to high quality homes while offering sellers a more discreet pathway to a successful sale. It is a strategic edge that reflects the strength of their network and the depth of their database.
At its core, this award is a reflection of trust. Trust built over years of showing up for clients, delivering on promises and maintaining a standard that does not waver. As the Sunshine Coast property market continues to evolve, Chris Pace and Damien Michael remain at the forefront, backed by a brand and a team that continue to set the benchmark for what real estate service should look like.
For those looking to make their next move, working with McGrath Sunshine Coast means aligning with experience, proven results and a team that understands how to unlock every opportunity in the market.
