He kept us informed on the market, comparable listings, and buyer interest without any pressure. His calm and professional approach made the experience very positive. Heath achieved an excellent result, is a top‑notch person to work with, and we’d gladly use him again!
Heath McOrist Senior Sales Executive
Heath brings a rare blend of international sales expertise and heartfelt local knowledge to the Sunshine Coast real estate market.
Having grown up with family holidays to Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, Heath's connection to the area runs deep. Now a proud local with his wife, children, and their Labrador 'Daisy', Heath has truly made the Coast his long-term home.
Heath's professional journey began in the luxury hospitality industry, where he spent over 20 years in the United States delivering high-end service experiences. Most notably, he spent a decade at the world-renowned Pebble Beach Resorts in California, serving in key leadership roles within their elite sales team. His career has taken him across some of the most prestigious hotels and resorts globally, refining his understanding of client expectations, world-class service, and the art of building lasting relationships.
This depth of experience in a customer-centric industry now informs every interaction Heath has with his real estate clients. From first introductions to final negotiations, Heath's approach is professional, personal, and entirely service-driven. His own investment journey began locally in the early 2000s, giving him a first-hand understanding of the local property market and a genuine appreciation for what makes this region so desirable.
Joining Queensland Sotheby's International Realty was a natural step for Heath. Representing one of the most distinguished real estate brands in the world allows him to pair his own values—excellence, discretion, and integrity—with a platform that offers clients unparalleled exposure across local, national, and international markets.
Heath is a trusted advisor who genuinely values long-term relationships and client satisfaction above all else. Whether he's helping families find their dream home, securing a premium result for sellers, or advising investors, Heath's unwavering focus is on delivering exceptional outcomes with a signature blend of warmth and professionalism.
When he's not working hard for his clients, you'll find Heath enjoying a quiet early round of golf, walking the beach with his family, or soaking in the relaxed coastal lifestyle that first drew him here.

Heath's Testimonials
Heath was the selling agent to us as buyers of a property in Peregian Springs. After hearing the type of property we were interested in, he identified a number of suitable properties. We found he had interpreted our wishes very well. At each inspection we were allowed plenty of time to look around; his descriptions were balanced without hype or exaggeration. After our offer, he obtained instructions from his client promptly and the contract was signed. Very professionally done by Heath.
We live in our own piece of paradise because of Heath McOrist. We first encountered Heath over a year before we bought our home, when we were still living in the USA and were inquiring about another property. What followed was a journey that honestly felt more like having a trusted guide than dealing with a sales process. Heath showed us so many properties that we lost count. Through it all, he was calm, patient, and unfailingly professional. He never rushed us. Even when we weren’t convinced about a particular property, he kept nudging us to explore options. It was that persistence that led us to the house we eventually bought. We’re so glad he insisted we view it, because it turned out to be The One. He helped us see the potential we didn't see. We couldn’t be happier with where we landed, and in many ways that’s because Heath stuck with us, believed the right home for us was out there, and guided us to it at exactly the right time. If you’re looking for someone who combines integrity, experience, real local knowledge, and genuine care for your journey, Heath is the person you want by your side. Seeing his long list of 5‑star reviews only confirms what we experienced firsthand: he’s genuine, professional, and a great communicator. Heath demonstrates consistently high standards. Every viewing, every conversation, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. We can’t thank him enough, and we’re thrilled to recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area.
Thank you Richard for selling our beautiful home to a wonderful buyer who will enjoy it as much as we have! Your attention to detail, punctuality, organisation, communication and dedication has been much appreciated. Richard & Heath, we wish you nothing but success!
Heath and Rich epitomise a relaxed, yet very professional real estate experience. A combination that is most refreshing and formed a solid foundation throughout our sale process. Their marketing was exceptional, our property photos and video blew us away. Heath's communication was honest and efficient and he went above and beyond to look after our home during the opens. The combination of local knowledge, interstate experience and global exposure made Sotheby's Queensland an excellent choice for selling our home.
I would just like to compliment you and your team from Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty.... my wife and I were very impressed in what was discussed and the professional manner in which you presented your company.
Richard, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the professional way you, Heath and Andy carried out this campaign with such great integrity and such pleasant personalities.
You gave us certain ideas of how we should present our home....Andy and Heath came and did more arrangements to enhance the total look.....they sure know what is the best way to show off a home.
Such a pleasure dealing with Heath. We cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism shown to us during the process of selling our property, we were kept up to date and nothing was ever too much trouble. If you want professional service with maximum results, we highly recommend.

Heath went well above and beyond what was expected from an Estate Agent. With his vast knowledge and experience he advised the best way for us to present our home for the photos and video which were absolutely incredible. Heath possesses a personality that wins people's confidence and trust which is experienced by both buyer and vendor. He is also a person of integrity and even after the sale of our property, came to assist us at our Garage sale. Heath, my wife and I thank you for all the work and commitment you went to ensure a quick and successful sale in such a professional manner.
