Nathan has been a Sales Agent at McGrath Ballina now for more than half of his life, and a natural progression was to become a Partner of McGrath Ballina in 2022. Coupled with working alongside his father Glenn Mills, and a life-long involvement in real estate, this means that he has a deep-rooted understanding of what makes Ballina and its surrounds such a special place to call home and why our community has grown and developed into what we all enjoy now. Those who’ve worked with Nathan appreciate his commitment to providing great service. Nathan always gives unbiased advice to his clients  to ensure they are making the right decision for their situation and will strive for a positive outcome. It all comes down to clear, honest and constant communication.
Ben Gatwood, Sales Agent and Partner of McGrath Ballina , gives a great level of confidence to his clients when it comes to real estate. Having lived in this area his entire life, Ben possesses a deep-seated understanding of the region’s property market, which he’s acquired through his family experience in the property and construction fields. “Working alongside my father in the building industry over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to have hands on experience in the construction process of many homes in the local area”.  Ben is an integral member of the Team who has been actively selling for over a decade. Known for his hard work, he is a genuine people-person.  Clients who work with Ben, whether it be buying or selling their home, quickly find he’s committed to honest, transparent communication about every facet of their sales campaign.
