Category: Family Business Second Generation
Winner: Harcourts North Geelong
It was during the recession of 1991 that Mario Grgic purchased a closing real estate office which he renamed North Geelong Real Estate.
Mario was an immigrant to Australia, arriving in 1965 and beginning a real estate career in 1975.
Mario’s wife, Marie, and daughter, Helena, helped with reception and bookkeeping in the early days.
Mario’s son, Joe, would soon join the family business as the agency went on to build a history of success in northern Geelong.
After continuous growth, the business became Harcourts North Geelong in 2010, ensuring it remained at the forefront of real estate technology while delivering best-practice services.
