SUCCESSFUL and well-respected real estate business owner Andrew Drane will serve the Seven Hills community with the opening of a new Ray White office.

Mr Drane has been in the industry for almost 20 years and is eager to hit the ground running with a focus on mentoring and growing a new team in order to provide excellent service to the Seven Hills community.“I enjoy mentoring and growing people more than anything and one of my strengths is helping people to excel,” Mr Drane said.“Growing and training a team of exceptional salespeople, property managers and staff, who are able to offer outstanding customer service for our clients will be at the centre of everything I do in the office.“It’s all about building a team of professional people who the public can connect with and come back to time and time again for all their sales, leasing and buying needs.”The Ray White Seven Hills principal said he prides himself on his professionalism, something he aims to instil across his whole team.“Professionalism is the cornerstone of my business, and it’s a word that means a lot. I believe in creating clients for life, not by using tricks, but by providing clients with the finest service, in every aspect,” he said.“That’s why I wrote my book about the practice of selling real estate and working in the industry generally. It focuses on ethical and effective real estate practice.“I have a chance to bring a certain level of professionalism to Seven Hills that people of the area might never have experienced before.“We are an energetic and professional team who will keep our clients’ best interests at the heart of everything we do.”‘Real Estate for Real Reasons’ by Mr Drane is a handbook for real estate professionals who are driven by values.The Ray White group stood out to Mr Drane as a franchise operation because of the brand recognition and wide-reaching support the agency offers.“I was looking for a group that could help me grow an elite team and offer support. Believe me, I’ll do the rest, focusing on the things I do best, calling auctions, listing and mentoring my people.”

Mr Drane has been a certified auctioneer for 12 years and swears by the auction method as the best and most transparent way to transact real estate.

“Of course it’s not the only way to sell, but I love the shock and delight on the faces of vendors as they see the prices their homes are capable of fetching become a reality," he said.Ray White New South Wales CEO Andrew McCulloch welcomed Mr Drane to the Ray White group.“We are thrilled to have Andrew onboard, opening an office in the growing area of Seven Hills," Mr McCulloch said.

"Andrew has a fabulous track record of building and growing top performing agents and this will only aid in the growth of market share in an already strong zone for our group.

“I have no doubt he will be an asset to the group and look forward to celebrating his success.”
