About Mark
Details first. Then a straight answer on price.
Mark Unkel is the Founder of Elite Lifestyle Properties, a boutique Sunshine Coast agency at 28 Parkana Crescent, Buddina. He began his real estate career in Minyama in 1990 and sells waterfront and premium homes in Minyama and Buddina alongside Director Jordan Lund. Owners can call him directly on 0412 738 675.
I sailed my own yacht to the Sunshine Coast in 1987, built yachts and raced in several Sydney to Hobarts before I sold my first home in Minyama in 1990. I still read a waterfront home the way a boating buyer does.
I have a passion for architecture and specialised homes, and I negotiate in a straightforward, transparent way. Today I sell alongside Director Jordan Lund, so you have two experienced agents on your sale.
8 Minyama Island, with 37 metres of water frontage on 1,809m², sold for $17,000,000 in March 2025.

Comparable sales
Not ready to talk yet? I can send you the recent Minyama and Buddina waterfront sales that compare with your home, matched by frontage, land and price bracket, with a short note on what they mean. No inspection and no obligation.
How I work
I inspect the home at a time that suits you and read it the way a buyer would. The appraisal is confidential and comes to you alone.
Your appraisal is built from recent comparable sales, current buyer activity at your price point and what sets your home apart. On the water, that means frontage width, aspect, the pontoon and access to the Mooloolah River. You see the sales behind the figure.
If you go ahead, Jordan Lund and I lead the sale together from campaign to contract, with our Buddina team behind us. You deal with us directly on price, buyer feedback and offers. We recommend the Essential, Enhanced or Elite package that suits your home and its most likely buyer.
Where I sell
Minyama and Buddina sit on the Mooloolah River and its canals, minutes from the open ocean. On the water, value turns on what a boating buyer checks first, and I price and present every home for the buyer most likely to value its position.
Mooloolah Drive, Minyama Island and Chelsea Crescent, for buyers who want deep water, a pontoon and room to entertain.
Kooringal Crescent, Adaluma Avenue and Harbour Parade, with direct access to the Mooloolah River.
Canal-front homes on Sunbird Chase and Corella Drive, and selected homes in Mooloolaba.
