Local Knowledge
Cairns isn’t just our market. It’s our home town.
From the city fringe to the northern beaches, Cairns offers a lifestyle buyers actively search for: tropical living on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef, with beaches, rainforest and a relaxed pace the southern capitals can’t match.
That lifestyle story is exactly what sells homes here, but only when it’s told properly. We market Cairns properties the way buyers actually experience them: the morning swim before work, weekends on the water, the rainforest an easy drive away.
When you sell with us, you’re not getting an agent who covers half of Far North Queensland and fits you in when the calendar allows. You’re getting a team that was raised here, lives here, and has chosen to build its name right here in Cairns.
What that means for your sale
- Pricing guidance grounded in what’s genuinely selling across Cairns and the northern beaches
- Marketing built around the lifestyle that draws buyers to the region
- Street-level insight from the city fringe to the northern beaches
- One point of contact from your first call through to settlement
- Straight answers on price, timing and strategy

Meet Your Agents
The father-and-son team raising the bar for Cairns real estate.
Born and bred in Cairns, Darcy Holding attended Cairns State High School and sharpened his craft with one of Melbourne’s largest real estate companies before returning home to the far north. He works alongside his father Mick, who brings more than 20 years of sales experience in the building industry. Fresh energy and hard-won know-how in one team.
Active in the local sporting community and known for their honesty, local connection and commitment to getting the job done, Mick and Darcy have set themselves a simple goal: to become the agents Cairns locals recommend to their neighbours, and to earn that reputation one successful sale at a time.
- Straight-talking advice with no scripts and no sales spin
- Deal directly with your agents from first call to settlement

The Holding Realty Standard
What every Cairns client can expect.
Big promises are easy in real estate. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every single listing.
Communication you can count on
You’ll always know where your sale stands, with prompt call-backs, honest feedback after every inspection and a clear read on how the market is responding.
Marketing that makes your home shine
From photography to copy to digital campaigns, every detail is crafted to present your property at its best, and to reach the right buyers, not just the most buyers.
Negotiation that protects your price
When offers land, experience matters. We negotiate every contract with one aim: the strongest possible result for you, on terms that work.
Good To Know
Selling in Cairns: your questions answered.
Every home is different, which is why we start with a free, no-obligation appraisal. We walk through your property, compare it against genuine recent results across Cairns and the northern beaches, and give you an honest, evidence-based price guide, not an inflated number designed to win your listing.
The right time depends on your property and your circumstances as much as the season. Presentation, pricing and how much competition is on the market at the time often matter more than the month. We’ll give you a straight answer based on current conditions, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Costs typically include agent commission and your marketing campaign, and we’ll set both out clearly before you commit to anything. No hidden fees and no surprises. You’ll know exactly where you stand from day one.
That varies with price, presentation and market conditions. What we can promise is a realistic expectation up front, a marketing plan built to create momentum early, and honest updates throughout, so you’re never left wondering.
All of them. We work right across the greater Cairns region, from the city and its fringe suburbs to the northern beaches, including Trinity Park, Trinity Beach, Smithfield and Kewarra Beach. Wherever your property is, we’d love to talk.
