AS a finalist in the 2018 REB Business Development Manager of the Year awards, rent roll growth has been Maria Edwards passion for more than a decade.

Ms Edwards has now joined Ray White Canberra as Head of Growth and she was looking forward to plying her trade with Canberra’s fastest growing real estate agency.

“I was particularly drawn to the culture of continuous improvement, and the support of the principals for my ambition. There is a genuine sense of humility in the way that they run their business, and nobody pretends to have all the answers. It’s very empowering,” Ms Edwards said.

“They also place a total emphasis on the customer experience. It’s clear to me after just a short time with the company why their business has grown as quickly as it has.”

For Alec Brown, the move to join Ray White came off the back of the REI Australasian Auction finals in Auckland in October 2018, where he was runner up in an incredible field. “Having worked in one of the top offices in Canberra, I was reluctant to move, but was looking for the right environment for me to take the next step in my career. Ray White offered me a unique blend of ambition matched with values based real estate.” Mr Brown said.

“Culture is something that you hear a lot about in business, but Ben, Scott, Sam and the team really walk the talk and are so incredibly supportive and encouraging. I’m excited to see what the future holds for me within the Ray White Group.”

Alec will work alongside Head of Sales, Scott Jackson in the Woden office, expanding the Ray White presence in Canberra’s south.

“From the first time I met Alec, I was hopeful he would join our team. His values align perfectly with ours, and he’s driven to continuing to improve the real estate journey for our buyers and sellers,” Mr Jackson said.

The pair join industry stalwart Peter Walker, who also recently made the move join the Ray White family.

“I can’t tell you how rejuvenated the move to Ray White has been for me. The tools at my isposal that allow me to provide a higher level of service to my clients is phenomenal,” Mr Walker said.
