DURING these uncertain times, the Ray White Manly team has taken it upon themselves to ensure the local community knows there is always someone else on the end of the phone should they need it, as they recently carried out more than 1000 courtesy calls.

“We have a great relationship with our local MP, so my Sales Associate Jack Chadwick and I reached out to see if there was anything we could do to help and support our treasured community,” said Ray White Manly Principal Scott Kelleher (above).
“It’s so important in times like these that we come together as one – and it’s amazing what a simple phone call and a chat can do for someone’s spirits.
“We received a list of 1000 people between the ages of 70 and 80 and we wasted no time in calling up to see if they were okay and if there was anything we could do to help.
“Fortunately, many of the older generation here have their family around them, but we had some really great conversations with the people that don’t have that luxury.
“One lady we spoke to was suffering from a leaking tap she couldn’t fix, so we sent over the plumber we use for our property management, and they fixed it up for her.
“I have to commend Jack (above). He spent 20-30 minutes on some conversations because he understands how lonely isolation can be for some people – we simply wanted people to know they were absolutely not alone during all of this.
“We’re now doing the same calls to our database to see how they’re getting on – and the lovely thing is – they’re asking us questions back to see how we’re faring.
“At a time when you have to stay at home to save lives, it was humbling to be able to make a difference, even if it was just to talk or to fix a leaking tap. We love our community.”
