Mark Kentwell

Mark may operate in the present, but his mind is fixated on the future; optimising, strategising and innovating his business, team, and clients towards a divine final form. It’s this attitude which has seen him shape an industry and has awarded him accolades such as the title of three times Australian Principal of the Year across all brands, finalist for REB’s Thought Leader of the Year and acting as the head of the #4 ranking REB office nationwide in the last year alone.

For Mark, leading from the front begins with standing behind his team at every auction; shaking hands and shaking up the strategy with sharp words of advice. Less like a boss and more like a mentor, Mark’s bond with his staff has developed as naturally as the admirable Presence culture moulded in his image. His example is set at a standard above the rest — and he actively coaches his agents to rise to the occasion, each armed with enhanced strengths and optimised weaknesses. Uncompromising and unyielding, there is no win/lose when it comes to Team MK — only outcomes where every stakeholder is seen, heard, and validated — because that’s what true success looks like in real estate.

For Mark, work/life balance is void — because the two are so deeply intertwined that #presence is more than a movement, but a lifestyle. Deeply involved in the community, Mark sponsors Greenies Grommets, aids compliance groups, is invested in over 20 businesses, mentors young entrepreneurs, sits on advisory boards, hosts charity auctions, sponsors Friday Chill and is involved in the Merewether Greenies Grommets with his two daughters and wife Natalie. Because it’s one thing to exist in a community, and it is another to be present — and that is the legacy Mark is founding at Presence.

“A ritual that is slept on: waking up before the rest. I start my day 3 hours ahead of the average person — which gives me 20% more time to achieve my business and personal goals for the day”.
