Derek Mahony

Licensed Real Estate Agent

(3 reviews)

About Derek

As so many stories begin about living in Cairns, Derek’s is not so different. 25 years ago, Derek and his young family visited on holiday from the UK, where he owned his own business, and fell in love with everything Cairns had to offer. Shortly after, Derek sold the business in the UK and settled in Cairns permanently. Paul Stirling rented Derek and his family their first property 20 years ago. Having demonstrated the importance of handling a trusted brand and maintaining great relationships with clients, Derek decided to make the move to Ray White, with Paul as Principal. In the past 20 years, the variety of styles of property that allow families and individuals to choose how they live is one of the main reasons Derek was attracted to the real estate industry. Having both personally and professionally bought and sold properties, and forged friendships with many clients along the way, the real estate industry has continued to be Derek’s main focus. Whether you are upsizing or downsizing, an investor, or are new to the area and seeking your new home, Derek has either experienced the same emotions first hand or helped to guide clients through them as a professional real estate agent.

Warning: Working With Sonia May Raise Your Expectations Forever

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who feels part magician, part master negotiator and part all-round miracle-worker, look no further than Sonia. I’ve now sold three properties with her, and every single time she has amazed me with her ability to make the entire process feel almost effortless. Sonia has a rare knack for wheeling and dealing while genuinely working in your corner. She’s the kind of agent who creates a true win-win for everyone involved—buyers, sellers, even the bystanders. Committed, confident, humble and practical, she blends authenticity with absolute professionalism, all wrapped up in her signature style and grace. If it’s not her area, she’ll master it overnight. If you’re unsure about pricing, she’ll be honest—and then somehow still get you more than you expected. That’s just who she is. I would recommend Sonia in a heartbeat for any real estate needs. Engage her once and you’ll understand exactly what I mean…

Insight and great guidance

Sonia has been incredibly helpful in getting us through our sale and purchase of our new house and been very patient with all the ups and downs that we've had through the process. I appreciate the attention to detail and the insights she offered when we got a few hurdles and that is definitely where her work shines!

Sonia is honest, dedicated, and tireless! She went above and beyond to achieve an amazing result

Working with Sonia to sell our home was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her communication was always clear, consistent, and honest, which made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. Her dedication and reliability were second to none. She genuinely worked around the clock to ensure every detail was taken care of. We were continually impressed by how she made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we knew she was working with many others. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she was always proactive in keeping us informed and supported at every stage. Sonia went above and beyond to connect with both interstate and overseas buyers, ensuring our property reached the widest possible audience. Her strategic approach, professional advice, and tireless effort resulted in an exceptional sale price that exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find an agent who combines such professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for her clients. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Sonia to anyone looking to sell, she truly delivers outstanding results with heart and integrity.

Sonia is a very knowledgeable agent who works hard to achieve the best price for your property.

We agreed to her figure and our property was placed on the market and within four days our property had sold for a figure in excess of her estimated amount. Throughout the sale process Sonia was with us every step of the way, giving us support in a variety of ways. She had suggestions varying from the staging of our rooms to the layout of the furniture, all very helpful suggestions that assisted to create the right look for our home to present it to its best advantage. We can highly recommend Sonia if you are looking for a knowledgeable agent who works hard to achieve the best price for your property.

Thank you Sonia

Sonia managed the sale of an inherited property whilst I resided interstate. We never actually met. I cannot thank Sonia enough for making this 'remote' sale for me, a relatively easy process. Sonia went above and beyond in helping organise things an owner would usually do if they were close at hand. There was never a 'no', and there was always a solution to anything which arose and needed attention. Very pleased.
