Milestone Moments
BRIAN WHITE AO
Chairman Ray White Group
It ' s now 25 years since we opened our first office in indonesia .
What a journey it has been . Indonesia originally had a very rudimentary approach to the agency requirements of their communities .
Offices were often very small , and unable to build a decent sized team to produce results covering the needs of their community centres .
We had an introduction to Johann Boyke Nurtanio and his wife Sari Dewi . Johann was interested in real estate and linked in beautifully with the team from Australia that were dedicated to seek opportunities outside of our core area .
His wife Sari was quick to join , together they created a fabulous network in Jakarta , and together spread their business all over the country . They now have 175 offices .
They have built a fabulous team of integrated offices that focus very much on being proud of every sale . This philosophy has become extremely well accepted for our Indonesian offices . A number of visits were organised for our Indonesians to attend conferences in Australia , they have often had a great presence at our regular corporate events , and have made the pilgrimage to Crows Nest where it all began .
The wonderful thing about Johann and Sari is that they have always been so keen to learn and keen to impart their skills across to their members , many of whom have grown such significant businesses .
We are now the largest network in Indonesia .
Ray White Asia keeps growing
