Local estate agent Nick Slater confirmed as Gold Coast shark attack victim

Gold Coast estate agent Nick Slater has been confirmed as the victim of Tuesday's shark attack off Greenmount Beach.

Slater worked at London Estate Agents Mermaid Beach, ran by principal Ron London.

He had been there since last November, having previously worked as a sales manager in Ray White's Projects Gold Coast division.

He spent the vast majority of his career at McGrath in Canberra. He was an agent and business development manager for nearly a decade.

Slater had secured two sales this year, both in Mermaid Beach, two villas. He secured $1.42 million for four bed home and $741,000 for a three bedder.

“While I’m focused on getting the best possible sales result, I want the journey to be as a pleasant as possible," Nick said about his approach.

“I feel privileged to be entrusted with client’s business, and I like to repay that trust by delivering a superior service experience.”
