Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
After years of learning the industry from the ground up, Penny-Anne Maguire took a leap of faith that changed everything, launching her own agency and redefining success on her own terms. Now, she’s her own boss, and thriving.
Penny-Anne launched Maguire Realty in 2024, drawing on experience she gleaned throughout her career. In 2017, she took her first foray into real estate, training as a Property Manager Assistant in Mackay. Sooner than expected, Penny-Anne’s dedication and skills were recognised, and she progressed into the full role of Property Manager.
Years of hard work later, Penny-Anne realized she was ready to go solo. Refusing to be held back by what-ifs and buts, she took the plunge and launched Maguire Realty.
Now, her days are never the same, punctuated with challenges to solve – which she does with zeal. Since the launch, Penny-Anne’s passion for property has only grown, as has her business, through word of mouth, and her own dedication to expansion.
Along the way, she has built great, enduring relationships, a testament to the care behind her work. “I take pride in helping property owners protect their investments and ensuring tenants find well-maintained homes,” Penny-Anne says. It’s all about “helping people find their home.”
Penny-Anne is no stranger to the juggling act of business and family life, having a blended family of seven children, with a sixth grandchild due to arrive in just a few weeks. Yet, her vision for the business shows no signs of slowing. Maguire Realty’s main focus right now is property management across the Mackay, Pioneer Valley, and Sarina regions, but expansion is underway, as the business grows its residential sales portfolio, welcoming an ever-increasing number of clients.
