Greg, thank you for helping with the purchase of my first management rights business. You are the best management rights business sales representative I’ve ever known.

I can’t say enough about Gerard, he is always polite, accommodating and honest (rare commodity in real estate) I always like dealing with Gerard.

We would like to thank Tony Johnson for his knowledge and assistance throughout the purchase of our management rights. The experience was second to none. Tony didn’t just confirm the sale and run, he committed his time from start to finish and provided his knowledge and experience throughout the entire process. Tony is a credit to MR Sales and if all MR Sales’ brokers are of the same caliber, the company will dominate the market well into the future. Good job Tony.

We want to thank both Jake and Lyn Clarke for all the help and sound advice they offered us as we went through the process of purchasing our first Management Rights business.
Every step of the way they were there to answer our calls and discuss our queries. No question was too small or silly. We really appreciated the time they took with us after we had bought our business. The gift of ARAMA membership for the year was also an invaluable tool that helped further our contacts and knowledge of the industry.
Thank you to you both and your entire team who made what could have been a daunting and overwhelming experience, a smooth and informed one.

MR Sales welcomes Mike and Judy Davis back to Port Macquarie. Jake Clarke first met this dynamic duo in late 2004 when they were managers of Beachcomber Resort Port Macquarie. Having sold them out in 2007 they moved to Sydney where they purchased and ran a management rights in the CBD until 2014, when they decided to retire and move back to Port Macquarie.
‘Macquarie Waters’ was listed for sale by Jake Clarke with the managers and original developer deciding to retire from the industry. This presented too good an opportunity for Mike and Judy to re-enter the industry in the destination where it all began. We welcome them back to the management rights industry in Port Macquarie.
Gus and Leanne Peterson had a busy life in Melbourne but with a growing family and a lot of out of town travelling, there was a longing to enjoy working together in a more relaxed environment. Port Douglas had been a holiday destination previously that always had appeal for them and consequently the search for a new business enterprise lured them into looking at management rights. Geoff Ellis and MR Sales had a number of very good listings in Port Douglas and Gus and Leanne were attracted to Nimrod Resort Apartments not only for it offered a good business proposition on paper but also because the resort had great family oriented facilities and accommodation. Not only did they see a resort that they would choose for their own holiday, but they knew from their own travelling experience their guests would enjoy themselves there. Being astute business people themselves they have identified areas they can ‘tweak’ and improve at the resort and they took no time at all to settle into life in Port Douglas and all that it offers.
Scott and Cheryl Pottle were looking for more than a business when they began their search for a management rights business. As well as a business they wanted a ‘project’ and a four bedroom home and living environment that would be ideal for their young children. Fortunately Geoff Ellis at MR Sales had just the listing and as a bonus it was in Port Douglas which offered a brilliant lifestyle in a premier holiday destination. The ‘project’ was all about having a business where they could add value and Ti Tree Resort offered that opportunity. For many years Ti Tree had provided a holiday destination of choice for thousands of families and was one of the original resort style properties. Within a few brief weeks Scott and Cheryl have transformed the resorts image and with Port Douglas being on a rebound with growth in visitor numbers, Ti Tree Resort under Cheryl and Scott’s management will capitalise on that growth. Congratulations to them.
Tiffany White has been very actively involved in business on an international scale with several business and property interests in Australia, North America and elsewhere. Having been to Port Douglas for holidays that were all too brief, Tiffany had long considered the region a good business base at some time in the future. Ultimately she set aside time to explore the options and following an extensive search, settled on the management rights at Port Douglas Bay Villas Resort. Tiffany recognised that Port Douglas has everything in terms of location, climate and appeal for tourism and that the region was in the very early stages of long term growth. Timing is everything when buying and Tiffany was able to negotiate a purchase that met her investment criteria. The resort has been a strong performer over the years but needed a fresh injection of strategies to further enhance the business. As a very experienced business owner and investor, Tiffany brings to Bay Villas the necessary energy and ideas. Geoff Ellis and MR Sales were delighted to broker the sale and purchase to the satisfaction of all parties.
Phil Trimble and the team at MR Sales would like to congratulate Peter Matthews on his investment in San Chelsea. “Its been a long hard road but in the end we made it”. Peter has moved down from Brisbane to take over the management of San Chelsea and with a very supportive committee intends to make his mark on the complex. The business has great potential and enormous opportunity for growth. Peter has a marketing and business background and has already “hit the ground running” with ideas on how to increase occupancy. There is no doubt in our minds that Peter will be very successful in this business and we wish him every success.

ions to Nick and Narelle Brienza on their investment in Poinciana Vistas. Narelle and Nick are new to the industry and with the help of Narelle’s father Brian were able to secure this business with a lot of upside potential. Now that they are settled in their plan is to get down to business and focus on keeping the common area pristine, managing their investors units and ensuring that the complex is a safe and harmonious environment for all residents.
“We would like to thank Phil and the MR Sales team for their professionalism throughout the whole purchase process. Without their help the task would have been much more difficult. We are delighted with our choice and are looking forward to the future.”
Congratulations to Michael and Karen Cross on their investment in The Dorchester management rights. Michael and Karen have a resort management background and as soon as they set eyes on The Dorchester could see the potential to grow the business. Their warm and friendly demeanour is evident as soon as you walk through the front doors and with their attention to detail The Dorchester will be a big stand out in the tourism sector on the Gold Coast in the near future.
“We can’t thank Phil Trimble and the team at MR Sales enough for their help and professionalism throughout the whole complex process of purchasing a management rights business. Without their help the task would have been much greater. We are delighted with our choice and are looking forward to the future.
I first met Geoff Ellis some years ago whilst looking for a Management Rights to purchase. I was so impressed with Geoff that when I made the decision to sell one of my properties I had no hesitation in contacting him and asking for his assistance. Geoff was always honest and upfront with me about the market and my prospects of sale and the time it would take. He listened to what I hoped to achieve and worked with me to a successful sale and completion. His assistance through the sale process was invaluable. I would certainly ask for Geoff’s assistance again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable agent within this area of management rights sales.

The Management Rights of Amaroo at Trinity were sold late last year with Geoff Ellis of MR Sales acting as broker. Having built the business over the previous 10 years, we were very passionate about the property and “letting go” was not altogether an easy step for us. However, we were very comfortable with the way in which Geoff firstly introduced the prospective buyers to us and subsequently handled the ensuing negotiations. At each step of the way, we were impressed by Geoff’s professional manner and appreciated his expert guidance and feedback during our decision making process. We would thoroughly recommend his services to all prospective vendors and purchasers of Management Rights in this area.

We would like to thank Geoff Ellis for his efforts in helping us secure the business and apartment at Eclipse. When it looked like our endeavours were going to be for nought, by looking outside the square, Geoff was able to secure a deal that was satisfactory to both parties.
Thanks again to Geoff for allowing us to be able to enjoy the excellent lifestyle of lovely FNQ.

Moving to Australia and entering an entirely new industry it was vital that we find the right person to guide and advise us in the process of obtaining our first Management Rights complex. We were very fortunate to find Warren Oliver from MRSales as the agent for a property we were interested in. We immediately felt like we were being listened to and due to his professionalism, understanding and knowledge of the industry, we used Warren exclusively to view other properties before finding the right one. Six months on and we are very happy with our decision and grateful to Warren for his advice, guidance and ongoing support.

We were introduced to Parkside Apartments by Warren Oliver from MR Sales. Warren kept us fully informed through all stages of the purchase process and was available at all times to assist us with enquiries related to the property.
Warren was highly professional, honest and reliable. We valued his input and knowledge of the management rights industry.
With Warren’s assistance we were able to create a new record from signing date to takeover.
Thank you Warren for all your help and advice.

We are pleased to have worked with Jake Clarke and the MRSales team of highly skilled professionals numerous times within the management rights industry.We have been impressed with the willingness to share and contribute informative ideas and with the depth of industry experience far surpasses our expectations.
I look forward to working with Jake and the team again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending their skilled, helpful and friendly approach to developing and delivering a complete sales package to the management rights industry.
Colin & Cath Finlayson
As a newcomer to management rights I depended on an agent who had access to a wide range of listings and could match my requirements to what was available. David Rotheram at MR Sales surpassed my expectations as he listened to what I expected and gave expert advice when reviewing what was available. David’s extensive experience in the management rights industry proved invaluable and resulted in a purchase that was exactly what I was looking for. There’s only one person I will be using in the future!

Having bought and sold seven properties through MR Sales we value the honesty and integrity of their staff and the realistic, accurate and reliable assessment of values and potentials of the properties they handle. We particularly appreciate the personal service we receive and their industry knowledge and associations with supporting professionals is invaluable. Their market share ensures they have a wide range of properties to offer.

Dealing with MR Sales has been a pleasure. Jake is an outstanding operator and has a great team behind him.
I have been in the business since 1991, and have known and dealt with Jake for most of this time.
MR Sales are a great advocate for our industry.

During the search for a business in 2006, I spoke to many Brokers who tried to influence my decision using the tried and true methods those in the industry are renowned for. One correspondence however did stand out because it used a simple statement that caught my eye, “What are you looking for?” Warren was asking me what I was looking for from the business and what my priorities were, and wasn’t telling me what he had and what he could sell me.We met soon after, with my list, and spoke at length about the industry and the type and location of the business that would most likely suit our lifestyle. After studying figures on many businesses and visiting those that seemed right, Warren phoned asking if we had time to visit a business that he thought fitted our needs and the rest, as they say, is history. We now own two management rights, both purchased with Warren’s help and one day when the time is right Warren will help when we decide to move on.
Professionally he continues to inform us of industry trends and changes in laws that affect us but is still interested in hearing our opinions of what we see in our little corner.
I thank Warren for his help and friendship over the years and look forward to an association long into the future.

Whilst selling our first management rights we met Warren who provided us with the right information we needed to obtain a successful sale. Warren kept us fully informed at all times during the sale process and due to his professional nature, we only had inspections by parties that were suitable for our complex, therefore not wasting our time or his.
Management rights is a challenging industry for all parties involved, and Warren has assisted us by giving us accurate information both whilst selling and then during our buy in process with accurate information on those properties that were suitable for us.
We can highly recommend Warren for his professional conduct at all times, we will be using Warren when we next look to sell and buy in again, and can highly recommend him to anyone needing the services of an honest and reliable agent in the management rights industry.
