Three years into his real estate career, Lee McFarlane has already positioned himself as the agent of choice for Burleigh Waters homeowners.

“Lee made the process of selling our home seamless and stress-free by keeping us well-informed and answering any questions we had. His expertise and results-driven attitude were evident throughout the entire process.”

“Lee went above and beyond in terms of communication, professionalism and delivery. We have never enjoyed a real estate experience so much.”

These are just two of many glowing reviews that reflect why Lee has established such a strong and loyal network within the suburb.

Delivering authentic and insightful advice in an engaging Scottish accent, he has become a trusted advisor to not only sellers, but buyers as well.

“I want people to feel they can come to me for advice whether I’m selling their property or not,” he says.

Glowing testimonials, combined with consistent sales success, led Lee to be named ‘Agent of the Year’ for Burleigh Waters in 2024 by popular agent review platform RateMyAgent.

The award is his proudest industry achievement so far, and one he had been striving for since he made the move into real estate in 2022.

Prior to that, Lee spent 20 years in the hospitality industry, where his focus on sales and marketing equipped him with the skills to succeed in his current role.

“Real estate is no different to any other sales job. No matter what you are selling, the most important thing is creating trust. Sellers and buyers need to know that your advice is honest and in their best interest,” Lee says.

Motivated by a genuine desire to help people create the life of which they dream, Lee has found true passion and fulfilment in selling property.

“As an agent, you’re dealing with the sale of someone’s biggest asset, so you have the power to completely change their life,” he says. “There’s no better feeling than helping someone achieve their dream home and lifestyle.”

The responsibility is not one Lee takes lightly. With the support of his wife and Client Services Manager, Pauline, he delivers an exceptional level of service to sellers while expertly nurturing buyers to secure top results.

“Our goal is to make the sales process as seamless as possible,” Lee says. “We pride ourselves on ensuring clients feel supported every step of the way.”

Working on a foundation of strong trust and shared values, Lee and Pauline are ready to elevate the experience they offer clients with the backing of the Kollosche brand.

For Lee, the opportunity to join the agency is a welcome step outside his comfort zone, but one that he is ready for.

“The luxury market is a fresh challenge for me,” Lee says. “I’m excited to be working with like-minded people who are happy to share their ideas.”

Long-term, Lee’s goal is to expand his team and become one of the Gold Coast’s top-performing agents.

For now, his attention remains firmly on the luxury property market in Burleigh Waters, and on achieving life-changing results for homeowners.

Outside of work, Lee and Pauline can be found at the beach, soaking up the sun they so rarely saw in Scotland and making the most of the new life they have created on the Gold Coast.
