Welcome

BY SHANNON COOK | MANAGING EDITOR
As we bring another amazing year to a close , this issue celebrates the achievements , stories and community spirit that ’ s defined 2024 . It ' s been another huge year of growth and ambition shown across all facets of the Ray White Group .
annual A Little Ray of Giving Christmas charity drive reminds us of the joy and power of giving back . Similarly , we have spoken to some of our Clients ’ Choice Award winners , those who are always looking to give back to their clients , on what customer service means to them .

In the summer edition , we ’ ve showcased our top sales across the Australian and New Zealand residential networks , and our commercial , rural , and marine markets . Each standout sale is a testament to the hard work and expertise of our members , who continue to set the bar higher each year .
We also wanted to highlight the moments that have connected and inspired us . From the spooky stories of our Halloween themed 16th Real Estate of Origin appraisal drive in October to our whole group STEPtember challenge , and those offices who stepped up for men ’ s health through Movember . Each story is a testament to the determination of our members , coming together for a great cause and to take us further together .
This issue also dives into the stories behind the stories - from the history embedded in some of our iconic office buildings to the successes of our top NurtureCloud users and our recent Leading Ladies ’ Canapés and Conversations event .
Finally , with our Ray White Saddle Club feature , we take a look at the agents who share a love of equestrian life , and our ' destination dupes ' piece will transport you to stunning locations across Australia and New Zealand that could easily be mistaken for far-off locales .
Thank you for joining us in celebrating another incredible year , and as always , if there ’ s anything you would like to see featured in the future editions , please email the team at media @ raywhite . com .
