❤️This billboard means more to us then just a brand❤️
I took this photo today and just stood there looking at it for a while. To most people driving past, it’s a billboard.
To us, it means a hell of a lot more than that!
Many of you who know me, know our team, or have been part of our journey know the last 12 months haven’t been easy. I’m not going to pretend they have been.
We’ve had some bloody tough days. Things have gone wrong. We’ve inherited problems we didn’t create, but still had a responsibility to fix. We’ve made hard decisions, changed direction, learned some pretty big lessons, picked ourselves back up, then turned up again the next morning.
There were times when things were genuinely tough behind the scenes.
But we kept showing up.
We’ve been the people bond cleaning a tenant’s home because they needed help getting it done.
We’ve stepped into the homes of elderly people to help with their domestic cleaning.
We’ve sat with landlords when things weren’t going to plan. We’ve listened to tenants when life got hard. We’ve helped people buy homes, sell homes, find homes and manage their investments.
Sometimes we’ve done things that probably weren’t technically “our job”, but there was a person standing in front of us who needed help.
That matters to me.
Because McCauley was never supposed to be just another real estate agency or company.
When we say People Before Profit, they’re only words unless our actions actually back them up.
There are 4 people on this billboard, but there are so many more incredible people behind McCauley who aren’t pictured here.
People in Gladstone, Hervey Bay, Burrum Heads, Brisbane and the Gold Coast who have backed what we’re trying to build. People who turn up, work hard, care about our clients and believe there is a better way of doing business.
This M is slowly making its way across Queensland. Not because we want to be the biggest.
Because we want to prove you can build a successful business by actually giving a s**t about people.
That you can grow without forgetting where you came from.
That you can make money without making every decision about money.
That you can look after the person as well as the property.
That is what I want this M to stand for.
So when it came time to put ourselves on a billboard, I didn’t want “Thinking of selling?”
I didn’t want “Free appraisal”.
I didn’t want to tell Gladstone how good we think we are.
I wanted to ask one question.
Do you know me?
Because this next chapter isn’t about us telling you who McCauley is.
We want you to actually get to know us.
The real us.
The people who answer the phones. The people who clean the homes. The people who conduct the inspections. The people who sell the properties. The people who hand over the keys. The people who sometimes get it wrong, own it, fix it, then try to do better.
The people behind the M.
We’re not the biggest & we are certainly not perfect. But I’m bloody proud of what we’ve built, I’m proud of the people who stand beside me and I’m proud that after everything this business has been through, that M is up there.
So yes, it’s a billboard but to us, it’s every difficult day we didn’t give up.
Every person who trusted us.
Every lesson we learned.
Every person who joined this journey.
Every time we chose to keep going.
This is McCauley.
So, do you know me?
If not, I think it’s about time we properly introduced ourselves.
McCauley | Queensland
People Before Profit Always.
