Graeme Fraser, Auckland Business Performance Manager, presented the City-Side zone awards. In his address he made comment about the growth of the Group on the city side, particularly the top offices which include City Apartments, Ponsonby, Remuera, Royal Oak and Central Auckland Commercial. These businesses have lifted their market share consistently during the year, with the top business on the city-side, being City Apartments, having a market share in excess of 40% for the first time ever. He also recognised Bruce Whillans from Central Auckland Commercial as being the number one salesperson for sales turnover; Marie Raos from Howick as the leading salesperson for business growth; and Damian Piggin and Daniel Horrobin from City Apartments for auction marketing.

Corinna Mansell, National Business Performance Manager, presented the North Shore awards. The top business in the categories of sales turnover and business growth was Pinehill; Whangaparaoa were the leading marketing office.  Individually Darryn Laskey was recognised as the top salesperson for property sales and he was also recognised as number one in business growth.

Carey Smith, Chief Executive of Ray White New Zealand, in his address spoke about the relevance of individual licensee salespeople. “There is a strong belief within the Ray White Group that the salesperson is the one who becomes the choice of the vendor.”  He said that the Group is ensuring our salespeople are well profiled, have outstanding marketing material and also have industry leading technology.

Damien Piggin and Daniel Horrobin, who work together as a partnership, have shown how the combination of marketing and auctions come together in subdued market conditions to give vendors, in most cases, a better than expected sales result.

Co-business owner Phil Horrobin said “The concept of marketing auctions does require a balance of print media and online marketing and this in many cases requires the vendors to consider a programme which will allow their property to be seen across a broad audience. The City apartment market is consistently active with buyers; however given the amount of stock that is available we request vendors consider taking their property to the next level of marketing with our company, who have a proven success rate with auction marketing.”  He went on to say “This is proven with two of their Elite salespeople Damien Piggin and Daniel Horrobin, who work in a very successful partnership, and have consistently shown the value of marketing through their high success rates.”

Ray White City Apartments have the highest level of marketing each weekend in the New Zealand Herald and also dominate the Trade Me feature market to ensure vendors not only get the best value from their marketing but also have a broad range offering in the online and print media areas.

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.
