Trusted Boutique Business Brokerage with Over 33 Years of Excellence
Johnston Business Sales is one of Queensland’s most respected business brokerages, built on a legacy of integrity, expertise, and proven results. Founded by Gary Johnston more than 27 years ago, the firm has become a trusted name in business sales across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and throughout Queensland.
Gary’s distinguished career includes leading Queensland’s award-winning Associated Business Sales at Bundall, serving as Chairman of the Business Brokers Chapter of the Real Estate Industry of Queensland (REIQ), and training future brokers through REIQ and the Gold Coast Office of State Development. His vision was clear from the start: focus on quality over quantity, delivering unmatched service to every client.
