Wizel Property Group (WPG) specializes in the acquisition and development of Commercial Real-Estate in Australia with a primary focus in the retail, office, large format retail and development sectors.
The group was formed shortly after the conclusion of Mark Wizel’s longstanding, 13+ year career as a commercial real estate agent and advisor at CBRE. Backed by a skilled team of specialist commercial property agents patiently put together by Wizel, the team at CBRE transacted just under $15bn in commercial property over a seven year period and were widely regarded as the benchmark commercial agency team in Australia for a sustained period of time.
In addition to acquiring and developing commercial real estate, Wizel Property Group has launched a transaction advisory business known as Advise Transact. Advise Transact is an exclusive vendor advisory service provided by WPG which aims to assist high-profile investors with the considered and strategic divestment of their commercial real estate assets across Australia.

Our Founder
Mark Wizel
Mark holds over 15 years of experience in the Australian property industry, previously heading CBRE as the National Sales Director where he was involved in large-scale asset disposal projects and proved his strengths in marketing, process building, sales and leasing.
Mark’s sales prowess can be traced back to the age of 13 where he would assist his father in selling Australian sheepskin products in the draughty stalls of Melbourne’s Queen Victoria market. Exposed to a diverse range of shoppers from a young age, he was able to build up his sales toolkit to withstand all sorts of customers – ultimately this helped shape his skillset today.
Fast forward several years and Mark launched a formidable commercial property career off the back of the Global Financial Crisis, seeking mentorship from property greats and finding opportunities in a market of high uncertainty under the green umbrella of CBRE. In the seven years between 2012 to 2019, he assembled and trained an agency team that would go on to dominate the commercial property market across nearly every asset class. At its peak, the team exceeded revenue growth ten-fold from $2.4mil to $29.6m in 2017 across 200 transactions with a clearance rate of 90% – the green machine at CBRE transacted over $20bn in sales over the seven-year period.
It is with much pleasure that Mark launched Wizel Property Group in 2020 – a company focused on advisory, investment and development opportunities across the Asia-Pacific commercial and residential property markets. It is without doubt that his personal and team success was born of hard work, unwavering dedication and a reputation that demands excellence. These core values are ingrained in the culture of the business led by him and will provide confidence to all associates that engage and work with Wizel Property Group.
