LIFE MEMBER

Angela Capitanio retired this year after an illustrious , 34 year career . The “ vanguard of the North ” was given a Lifetime Membership at the Queensland awards , celebrating a successful and enduring time as Ray White Cairns Central Principal .
Ray White Queensland Director Tony Warland reflected on her career , saying : “ Her journey was one of Ray White folk law . The story goes that when she first started in 1987 they didn ' t even have a desk for her , so they suggested she use the benchtop and cupboard in the lunch room until she had a desk .
“ Again as the legend goes , on her first day she had arranged with some buyers to show a property and on her way to that appointment she was in a bad car accident , which totaled her car and yet she still walked to the property to show it .
“ Angela of course enjoyed for more than two decades a business partnership with Therese Plath and together they genuinely assisted their community and found success for themselves and their families .
“ It may not be known by most , but it is apparent that in many of our training documents the learnings that Angela Capitanio and others that she worked with back in the day , like Peter Straguszi , Paul Stirling , Brett Graham and others became a large body of our content .”
The Ray White Group is truly thankful and appreciative of everything Ms Capitanio achieved in her long and stellar career .

“ After the inspection the buyers drove her back to the office , where Angela asked for assistance on how to do a contract . Since then her accolades as a business woman and the success of Ray White Cairns grew .
