Celebrating their one year birthday, Ray White Taranaki, through owners Mark and Rachel Ferguson, have been acknowledged as the New Start Business of the Year for Ray White.  When Mark undertook his commitment to Ray White in Taranaki it was a new area for him.  Their ongoing support of Ronald McDonald House and the local food bank in Taranaki has been recognised by the way their business has become part of the community. 

The office completed 71 sales in its first 12 months and has a market share in their local trade area of 26%.   Mark Ferguson said “Being part of the Ray White Group enabled the business to quickly gain momentum and adding a superior service level helped in positioning the business as a market leader in the local trade area.”  He went on to say “The work in the community through charity auction events has been rewarding and is a case of making sure that our business gives back the best way it can.” 

Ray White CEO, Carey Smith, said “Mark and Rachel started their business with service in mind and they have continued to deliver with results that are unmatched for a business which is just over 12 months old.”  Mark has further plans to grow the agency but wants to ensure the Inglewood business is a clear market leader before growing further within Taranaki.   To see the website for Ray White Taranaki please click here.

Ray White is pleased to confirm the re-commitment of Joe and Diane Voordouw with their business at Te Atatu.  The partnership between the Voordouw’s and Ray White is now in its 11^th year.  Initially when they purchased the business it was as part of a complete re-structure of the West Auckland business for the Ray White Group.  During the past 10 years the office at Te Atatu has steadily grown its market share to be considered a market leader.  Diane Voordouw commented that when they made the move to Ray White their ability to attract sales staff increased significantly and in 2005 “it gave us the confidence to move to new premises in Te Atatu Peninsula.  In addition to this we have also built a strong rent roll which has become an important part of the services that we offer.”  

The Te Atatu office ranks in the top 20 businesses for the Group in New Zealand and has a market share of 23% within their trade area.  Carey Smith made comment “The Te Atatu business has continued to develop its market share of sales through continued innovation and embracing Ray White marketing strategies. The West Auckland area has seen substantive growth for the group and Joe and Diane Voordouw have been an integral part of that growth over the past decade.” 

The Ray White Te Atatu office is located on Rhone Avenue in Te Atatu.

The Ray White Group in New Zealand is proud to announce our 2010 marketing and promotion campaign.  The campaign is designed to give all Ray White clients, with the assistance of their local Ray White Real Estate Office, the ability to market their property and to increase profile, presentation and buyer response within a targeted period with upgraded promotion and also subsidised rates. 

2010 so far has shown properties that are well marketed through controlled concepts, both online and through media, have very good buyer response.  This campaign, through national and local media together with online marketing and property promotion, is designed to maximise buyer response to each and every property that Ray White is currently marketing as well as for those clients who are considering listing their property with Ray White. 

The campaign will run during September and each Ray White licensee salesperson has information on the campaign. We believe supporting our clients with increased buyer response will inevitably lead to more success for property sales on behalf of Ray White clients. 

For further information please contact anyone of our 134 Ray White offices, who will provide information on our 2010 marketing and promotion campaign.
