The Mitchell Group will bring their market-leading businesses in Gympie and Maryborough under the Ray White banner, creating a formidable presence across the Wide Bay, Fraser Coast and South Burnett regions.
The Mitchell Group have established themselves as the undisputed market leaders in both rental and sales across these markets. Operating from two prominent locations less than an hour apart, the couple owns both offices, which is a strategic advantage, one that has contributed to their remarkable success in the competitive real estate landscape.
"We looked to partner with Ray White because we wanted a clear growth path for the next chapter of our business and our team," said Billy Mitchell. "We didn't want to take a backward step, and Ray White provides the perfect platform for our continued expansion and development."
Billy's journey to real estate excellence began in the hospitality industry, where he honed his customer service skills running pubs across Queensland. Growing up on the Murray River in Strathmerton, Billy learned the value of hard work and how to run a business from his mother Lesley, also a publican, who remains his greatest supporter and "number one fan."
With 15 years of real estate experience under his belt, Billy has successfully transitioned his hospitality background into real estate success. The couple's path to Maryborough wasn't direct – they explored opportunities from Port Douglas, Caloundra to Tin Can Bay before finding their perfect fit in the Wide Bay and Fraser Coast regions.
The Mitchell operation employs 50 staff across their two locations, creating what they describe as a "great culture" built on traditional values. "We've worked hard to establish our foundation stones," said Billy Mitchell. "We believe in old-fashioned customer service, being honest, being ourselves, and doing the right thing. We turn up for our clients every single day."
The Mitchells' business philosophy centers on being trusted advisors to their clients. "We run an energy-based business that's mature in its systems and approach," says Billy. "We have a lot of fun in our offices too but we also never lose sight of our responsibility to our clients and community."
Their enthusiasm and ability to find joy in their work has created a positive environment that resonates with both clients and colleagues. The couple consistently prioritises client needs, fostering a welcoming atmosphere where people feel supported throughout their real estate journey.
The partnership with Ray White represents a natural evolution for the Mitchell business, combining their established local expertise with the resources and reach of Australia's largest real estate network.
"Whether clients are buying, selling, or seeking advice, we're just a phone call away. This partnership with Ray White allows us to offer even more comprehensive services while maintaining the personal touch and community connection that has always defined our approach,” Billy said.
Ray White Queensland CEO Jason Andrew said Billy and Gemma were well known for their commitment to professionalism and exceptional service. "We speak extensively about being the best in market and Gemma and Billy are truly that. Their willingness to extend a helping hand at every stage of the real estate journey continues to set them apart in an increasingly competitive market and we know with their leadership our best years are ahead of us," Mr Andrew said.
The integration of the Mitchell operations into Ray White Queensland represents a significant expansion of the network's presence in regional Queensland, bringing together proven local market leadership with national brand strength and resources.
