Call for the Stars

With Deb Taylor from Centaurus Real-T

Based in the heart of eungella within the Mackay region, Deb Taylor leads Centaurus Real-T with a blend of deep community roots and innovative real estate solutions. Her journey from childhood adventures in the Whitsundays to establishing a respected boutique real estate agency is both inspiring and remarkable.

Deb's story begins with her parents' move to Eungella, enchanted by the beauty of the National Park. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of the Pioneer Valley, Deb's love for the area deepened. Her early experiences working in hospitality, insurance and local government honed her skills in service and management, but it was a personal challenge that led her to real estate. When her husband faced a debilitating injury, Deb's husband pushed her to pursue her passion for property, not just as an agent but as the owner and licensee of her agency.

Centaurus Real-T stands out in the crowded real estate marke due to its strong local ties and personalised approach. Deb's background, combined with her 5th generation local husband's extensive career as a head chef serving our community, shaped the agency's commitment to client-centric service. They understand the value of community and strive to provide a level of service that respects each client's unique needs and dreams.

"We are a family-owned and operated business, not tied to a large franchise," Deb explains. "This allows us to be cost-efficient and offer the same services as any other agency, but with a more personal touch. Our focus is on making property dreams a reality while maintaining the health and vitality of our region."

One of Deb's proudest moments came early in her real estate career with her first sale. The transaction was seamless, filled with genuine goodwill from the seller to the buyer, which reinforced her belief in the importance of personalised service. "Seeing the joy in my clients' faces was incredibly rewarding, “she recalls.

Centaurus Real-T's unique qualities as a boutique business include attention to detail and a high level of service. By operating a virtual agency, Deb offers flexible, efficient services that save clients time and money. The agency's innovative approach includes tailored contracts, ensuring transparency, flexibility and privacy.

Deb's vision for Centaurus Real-T extends beyond real estate transactions. She is passionate about community development and envisions a future where the Mackay region continues to thrive regeneratively and sustainably. Her commitment to continuous professional development and local knowledge ensures that Centaurus Real-T remains at the forefront of the industry.

"Local knowledge is everything," Deb says. "I feel like a Les Clefs d'Or at the Concierge desk representing our region helping people turn their dreams into reality.'

For those thinking about buying or selling property in Mackay, Deb's advice is clear: "Our region offers an abundance of the very best goods and services. It's a supportive, community-minded place where growth and prosperity are within reach.”

With deep roots in the community and a fresh perspective on real estate, Centaurus Real-T is poised to help you reach for the stars. If you're ready to embark on your real estate journey, Deb and her team are here to guide you every step of the way.
