At just 23, Kelisha Day is proving that success in commercial real estate isn’t about age or gender—it’s about drive, expertise, and delivering results. As a Sales and Leasing Executive with Explore Property Commercial, she’s not just brokering deals; she’s shaping Mackay’s business landscape.
Kelisha’s journey began in 2019 with a determination that set her apart. She handed in her resume, followed up relentlessly, and landed a role as a personal assistant to director Jordan Miller. From there, she immersed herself in the industry, managing a property portfolio in Brisbane before returning to Mackay to specialise in sales and leasing.
“In commercial real estate, I’m here to make a difference,” she says.
“Yes, it’s a male-dominated industry, but I love proving myself, getting deals done, and earning that repeat business.”
Her hands-on approach and strategic thinking have led to major successes. One standout achievement was the sale of 135-137 Nebo Road, where she transformed a 60 per cent occupied property into a fully tenanted, high-value asset — boosting the sale price by 15 per cent. She’s also been instrumental in securing some of the largest leasing deals in the Mackay’s CBD, turning empty shells into thriving business hubs.
Kelisha credits her work ethic to her biggest inspiration — her mum. “She taught me that hard work brings results, and nothing comes to you by doing nothing.”
With an impressive track record already under her belt, Kelisha is excited to take on even bigger challenges, helping businesses find their perfect space while making her mark on the region’s commercial property sector.
With her passion, persistence, and proven results, she’s just getting started.
