The Quaid Real Estate organization is the largest and longest established real estate agency in tropical North Queensland. The business was started in 1949 in the Port Douglas/Mossman region by George Quaid Jnr. 

In the early 1970's the business established its headquarters in Cairns and Ian Beattie became Managing Director. During the 1970's and 1980's Quaid Real Estate developed a strong commercial bias and a reputation as leading marketers of home unit developments and residential lands estates. In the early 1990's Stacey Quaid (George's oldest son) was appointed Managing Director. During this period we quickly re-immerged as the number one auctioneering force in the region - a position Quaid Auctioneers has retained ever since. In 2002, the business was further expanded by the formation of Colliers International (Cairns), which operates as a partner office handling all of the commercial sales and leasing, project marketing and Commercial property management previously operated under the Quaid umbrella business.

We are professional Real Estate agents and consequently do not develop or trade property. We are marketers and negotiators, not rental agents/property managers. We accept appointments to act as either seller's agent or buyer's agent. We aim to provide efficient, discreet service to our clients and helpful, courteous attention to customers. We are members of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland and abide by its Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
