Marcus Rayner

Marcus Rayner is a well-known name in local property circles and a proud second-generation real estate agent. Having completed his VCE, it was always clear Marcus would follow in his father’s footsteps and join the family business. Since starting in residential sales more than 25 years ago, Marcus has spent his entire career at First National Rayner, based in the Bacchus Marsh office.

“I still get a buzz from listing and selling—it never gets old,” says Marcus. “When I first started, we had four staff across two locations. We were the small fish in town. Now, with a team of 20 and a decade as the area’s leading agency, it shows that with hard work and great service, you really can achieve anything.”

While Marcus’s role as a Director has seen him become increasingly hands-on in running the business, his true passion remains in the field—securing listings and negotiating deals. Known as “the deal maker,” Marcus brings energy, experience, and positivity to everything he does. His can-do attitude is contagious (and sometimes annoyingly chipper, especially in the mornings!), and he's always up for a laugh, a stir, or even an impromptu office Nerf war.

Over the years, Marcus has built a strong client base through referrals and repeat business. He’s frequently praised for his deep local knowledge, strategic negotiation skills, and genuine care for his clients, making the buying and selling process smoother and less stressful.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Marcus has recently turned his focus to commercial property—an area he saw as under-serviced in the Moorabool Shire. He’s passionate about delivering high-quality advice and service to commercial landlords and vendors, building a dedicated team to meet this growing demand.

When he’s not in the office, Marcus enjoys travelling, gardening, spending time with his family and friends, and cheering on the San Francisco 49ers.
