existing offices to add “ ERA ” to their Ray White name ?” So , all Ray White offices in Queensland became ERA Ray White .
We could see many benefits which were at pains to point out at the tense meetings held with all franchisees . For the Queenslanders , adding ERA to the front of their name gave them the opportunity to market ourselves as part of a nationwide group and promise clients a growing referral base across the country .
For ERA members outside Queensland , they would now have a market leader in their group and the full support systems including the famous Myf Porter training .
One of the most pleasant surprises within ERA was Andrew and Greg Bell ’ s business at Kensington in Sydney . Their ambition was spectacular - so much so that they moved to the Gold Coast and acquired
|
our Surfers Paradise business with the aim of becoming a major Ray White business . It all proved to be an excellent outcome .
A momentous decision was taken in the early 1990s to drop the ERA name from our branding . A visit to the US sealed the separation .
|
So the journey to become fully international had begun . Confidence was sky high . It took another recession , this time in the early 1990s for further opportunities to emerge . The United Group in New Zealand gave us entry to that market and in Western Australia , new arrangements were made in markets where United was relatively weak .
A significant acquisition in Victoria , of Blackburn & Lockwood , also gave an excellent stimulus .

Ray White Prestige | Palm Beach principal and owner Noel Nicholson is definitely one proud dad .
His son Jimmy Nicholson was the 31-year-old dreamy pilot who sent hearts flying on The Bachelor Australia this year .
Jimmy Nicholson was locked away for three months filming the hit show in a $ 6.3 million , five-acre property in Sydney ’ s Dural known as Le Chateau . “ He was only allowed to ring us every two weeks or so which was tough as we are a very tight knit family ,” said the former Qantas Cabin Crew Manager Noel Nicholson , turned successful Ray White business owner .
In one of the early episodes , the show filmed at the Nicholson ’ s home on Sunrise Road , Palm Beach . In the scene was Noel and wife Susan Nicholson , organisational psychologist and business manager at Ray White Prestige | Palm Beach , sister Tahnee Nicholson , also an organisational psychologist and Malisa Howard , niece and lawyer . And not to mention Billie , the seven year old Border Collie dog .
“ We are a family business working inside a huge family business at Ray White . In fact Jimmy used to help me run open homes when he was studying at university .
|
The TV producers loved the fact Jimmy comes from a tight family unit , with strong female role models and values . I have loved watching the show and I am so proud of how he carried himself and he fell in love with Holly which is so great .” |
