Ray White Now | Spring into action Edition 63 | Page 2

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Dear Property Owner ,
We ’ ve recently had time to reflect on some incredible achievements by the Ray White network over the past 12 months , a period which has presented some of the most uncertain market conditions experienced by many real estate professionals throughout their careers - taking significant patience and determination to navigate .
We celebrated our collective successes at our recent national day conference and awards evening – with more than 1,200 Ray White members from 197 offices nationwide .
The gathering spoke to our collective strength and served as a reminder that we continue to lead the market in innovation whilst achieving the very best outcomes for clients and customers across the spectrum of real estate channels .
In a volatile year where buyers and sellers have often been at the whim of economic conditions , our network has continued to deliver results and leant into the challenges presented by evolving and expanding .
While others have hunkered down , we have continued to grow , opening nine new offices and welcoming 483 new members across administration , property management , sales and leadership , which underlines our commitment to offering exceptional real estate services to more areas across New Zealand .
We continue to develop new technology and products which add value across disciplines , including research , property management , residential , commercial and rural sales .
These efforts were recognised recently at the 2023 Real Estate Institute of New Zealand ( REINZ ) Awards for Excellence , where we recorded 17 finalists in 12 award categories .
To receive acclaim from industry peers is a great honour , and we acknowledge the enormous team effort that goes into each and every collective success .
That being said , our greatest honour is the trust shown to our members by buyers and sellers across the country - something we are endlessly grateful for .
Our members ’ performance continued through the months of August , where we saw new listings up nearly 13 per cent , completed sales up 8 per cent , and auction activity also stepped up a notch .
