No strangers to Ray White or the Western Downs livestock community, David and Amy Felsch have officially opened the doors of their new Ray White business and are set to take their hometown of Dalby to new heights.
“When the opportunity arose and after lots of support from the Ray White Rural corporate team, we decided to take the leap into business ownership,” Mr Felsch said.
Mr Felsch, who is widely known throughout the region for his work in livestock trading, will be leading the new property, livestock and residential sales business. He is joined by his wife Amy who will be the business and office manager.
“The opportunity that the Ray White brand gives us is pretty special; the support from other business owners, the strength of the family brand and the fact that every element is supported by the corporate team.”
For the duo, who formerly co-owned the Ray White Katherine business in the Northern Territory, returning to Dalby with their two young boys is a homecoming.
“I was born and raised in Dalby and this is where David and I met, so it brings us a lot of joy to be raising our family here and building a business” Mrs Felsch said.
“Our family is one of the key reasons we are doing this. We want to provide and create success for our boys and not to mention they also absolutely love the livestock side of what we do!”
Dalby in the Darling Downs region is 2.5 hours from Brisbane and known for its wide-spanning range of industries. It's a central hub for the communities around it.
“The great thing about Dalby is that it doesn’t rely on one industry; we have livestock, cotton and grain farming and is close to mining activity as well,” Mrs Felsch said.
“The town itself is a fantastic place to raise a family as you can have a country lifestyle but still great access to schools and resources, and of course the Wellcamp Airport which is only 45 minutes away in Toowoomba.”
Joining them in the business is experienced livestock administrator Amy Maloney, livestock agent Tim O’Dwyer, and local residential sales agent Lara Turner.
The owners are looking forward to bringing a fresh approach to all real estate services across the region, and have engaged the best team possible to do so.
“We are really hoping to make an impact on the residential market in town, which is why we brought on Lara Turner who is a local face and has the perfect attributes to sell real estate,” Mrs Felsch said.
Mrs Felsch said their key goal over the first 12 months in business is to continue building and improving on the team culture that they already have and providing their clients with an exceptional level of service.
“We have a really solid team working with us, and we want to provide the best service possible to the clients who we value so much. Our whole team has a wealth of local knowledge and many relationships throughout the entire community, and we are motivated to become the go-to agents in the region,” Mrs Felsch said.
Ray White Rural Managing Director Stephen Nell congratulated the Felsch family on opening their doors in Dalby.
“We are incredibly proud that David and Amy will be heading up the Ray White brand in such an important region, and I have no doubt in my mind that they will service the Dalby community with outstanding service,” Mr Nell said.
“Both David and Amy bring a wealth of expertise to both the livestock and real estate markets and I cannot wait to see what they achieve from here.”
