Robert Murolo

Based in Mackay, Robert Murolo brings more than 27 years of rural real estate experience to the sale of agricultural properties across North and Central Queensland. His market extends across Mackay, the Whitsundays, Bowen, Proserpine, Ayr, Clermont, Charters Towers and Townsville, providing vendors with extensive regional market knowledge and access to a broad network of rural and strategic buyers. Robert specialises in large-scale rural and agricultural property, with particular expertise across sugar cane, cattle, irrigation, horticulture and grazing assets. His approach is grounded in understanding the fundamentals of each property — its land, water, infrastructure, productive capability and commercial potential — and using that knowledge to identify the right buyer pool and sales strategy.

For professional and corporate owners, that understanding is particularly important when marketing complex or high-value assets. Robert has experience working with private landowners, family farming enterprises and major agricultural companies, including transactions involving strategic acquisitions and significant agricultural investments. His sales record includes Exmoor, Faust Farming, Dray Family Farming, Grosvenor, Billy Creek, Bluevale and Ainsley, as well as numerous cane farms throughout the Mackay and Proserpine districts.

Among his notable transactions, Robert handled the sale of Exmoor Station, acquired by Tassal for $28 million, and Billy Creek near Proserpine, which sold for $7 million and subsequently formed part of Tassal’s prawn farming operations in the region. More recently, Robert sold Durrandella, a 25,700-hectare grazing property in Central Queensland, for $22.5 million at auction. Other recent transactions include 54 Sants Road, Habana, which sold for $7.5 million, and 174 Habana Wharf Road, which achieved $5.9 million at auction.

With experience across auction, expressions of interest, private treaty and direct negotiation, Robert does not take a one-size-fits-all approach to selling rural property. The campaign and method of sale need to reflect the asset, prevailing market conditions, the depth of the buyer pool and the vendor’s objectives. His philosophy is straightforward: know the property, understand the market, communicate openly and work hard for the owner. That practical approach has been reinforced by a strong track record within the Elders network. Robert has been named No. 1 Rural Sales Agent in Queensland and has achieved Master Agent status three times.

While the scale of the transactions and recognition throughout his career speak to his experience, Robert remains focused on what matters most to vendors: understanding the opportunity, presenting the asset to the right market and working through the transaction to achieve the strongest possible outcome.

After more than 27 years in the industry, Robert continues to value the fundamentals of rural real estate — getting onto the property, understanding its potential, meeting buyers and negotiating successful outcomes. For owners of significant rural, agricultural and grazing assets across North and Central Queensland, that combination of regional knowledge, transaction experience and practical market understanding provides a strong foundation for achieving the right result.
