Alex McEwan: from spanners to sold signs - his fast rise in QLD Bayside real estate
From spanners to sold signs: Alec McEwan’s fast rise in QLD Bayside real estate 🪧
In episode 11 of Raising the Bar, George sits down with Alec McEwan from McGrath Wynnum/Manly to unpack how a mechanic from Midas Tingalpa became a top-performing Bayside real estate agent in just four years 🚀
We go over what actually moves the needle in the Queensland property market - from 4am letterbox drops to suburb records in Wynnum/Manly, and why trust still wins over tactics 🤝
We cover:
- Mindset and consistency “action, traction, attraction”: the 4am starts, 250 homes a day, and the shift from chase to attraction in Brisbane’s Bayside real estate 🧠
- Relationships over ego: being genuinely helpful, building long-term trust across all price points, and knowing when to say no so clients get a better result 📈
- Team, family and brand: working with McGrath, mentorship at home, smart video marketing, and the move from co-agent to no.1 performer in Manly while keeping deals simple and client-first 🤜🤛
If you care about doing real estate the right way, this one’s for you 🫵
