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.
