About Mark
Selling on the Sunshine Coast since 1990.
Mark arrived on the Sunshine Coast by yacht in 1987. Before real estate, he built yachts and competed in several Sydney to Hobart races, developing a lasting interest in architecture, craftsmanship and life on the water.
He continues to sell alongside Principal Jordan Lund and the ELITE team in Buddina. His approach starts with understanding what the owner hopes to achieve, followed by advice on price, presentation and the sale. Owners remain involved as the campaign progresses, with room to consider their options before making decisions.
8 Minyama Island, with 37 metres of water frontage on 1,809m², sold for $17,000,000 in March 2025.

Comparable sales
I can send you recent sales that are relevant to your property, with a short note on how they compare. It’s a useful place to start if you’re wondering what your home might be worth. No inspection or obligation.
How I work
We’ll talk about the property, why you’re considering a sale and your timing. I’ll arrange a time to look through the home and answer your questions.
I’ll show you comparable sales and explain how your property sits in the current market. We’ll also discuss presentation, marketing costs and which approach makes sense for your sale.
Jordan Lund and I work together on your sale, supported by our Buddina team. You’ll hear from us about inspections, buyer feedback and offers, so you can make decisions with the information in front of you.
Where I sell
My career began in Minyama, and I’ve worked with owners across the Sunshine Coast ever since. Every property needs its own approach. I’ll look at your home, the buyers it’s likely to suit and the recent sales that matter to your price.

I’ve been selling real estate on the Sunshine Coast since 1990 and founded ELITE Lifestyle Properties. I’ll give you a straightforward view of the market, explain the sales behind my price advice and work with you through the sale alongside Principal Jordan Lund.
I work with owners across the Sunshine Coast from our Buddina office. My career began in Minyama, with sales in Buddina, Parrearra, Mooloolaba and further afield. Get in touch about your property and we can talk through what you need.
Use the form on this page or call me on 0412 738 675. I will inspect the property at a time that suits you, then prepare a confidential appraisal from recent comparable sales. There is no obligation.
Yes. Your details and your property stay private, and nothing is shared or marketed without your instruction. If you would rather start without an inspection, ask me for comparable sales first.
No. You’re welcome to call while you’re still considering your options. We can talk about recent sales, what your property might be worth and anything worth doing before it goes on the market.
I compare recent sales with your property’s location, land, layout and condition, then consider the homes currently for sale and what buyers are doing. I’ll explain which comparisons are useful and why, so you can see how I’ve arrived at the price guide.
Three packages: Essential, Enhanced and Elite. We recommend the level that suits your property and its most likely buyer, and talk you through what each includes before you decide.
Jordan Lund and I will work with you from the appraisal through to negotiation and contract, supported by the ELITE team.
Call me on 0412 738 675, email markunkel@elitelp.com.au or phone the office on 07 5444 0111. The office is at 28 Parkana Crescent, Buddina, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
