IN THE perfect merger of real estate experience and fresh energy, agent Riley Neaton has joined David Bell as co-owner of Ray White Rockhampton.
At just 24 years old, Mr Neaton has joined Mr Bell as principal after three years with the number one Rockhampton office as a successful real estate agent.
The Ray White Rockhampton office has been a market leader in the industry for 34 years with a reach that spans the central Queensland town and further, particularly specialising in the Frenchville and Norman Gardens suburbs.
Mr Neaton said owning his own real estate business has been a goal of his since his first day as a sales agent.
“I am inspired by what David has accomplished with the office and how he has taken it to the high standard it sits at today,” Mr Neaton said.
“Hopefully, I can excel in the same way and continue to nurture and grow this market leading business.
“He has age and wisdom behind him as well as a lot of experience in the industry, while I bring the fire and energy, so I think we complement each other well.”
The former carpenter said he was drawn to the uncapped possibilities available in real estate and decided to make the switch.
“The opportunities are endless within real estate and what you put in is what you get out,” Mr Neaton said.
“And I really enjoy working with people every day and helping them buy and sell real estate. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people during what is usually a stressful time and making the whole process easier and more transparent.”
The business owners are now excited to be able to grow the office further by recruiting young blood to the team including in both property management and sales. Mr Bell believed it was a fantastic opportunity for Ray White Rockhampton to increase their market share further.
“Bringing in a dual principal will help us recruit good people and widen our reach. It’s a great opportunity for me to expand the business and help mentor the next generation of leadership,” Mr Bell said.
“Riley is the perfect choice for this role, his enthusiasm, work ethic and ability is something you don’t see very often.”
Ray White Queensland CEO Jason Andrew congratulated Mr Neaton on becoming a co-owner.
“It’s great to see so many exciting, young leaders like Riley emerging within the group. He represents a fresh, new generation of innovative business leaders who will take Ray White Queensland into the future,” Mr Andrew said.
“We are thrilled to see him take this step and have no doubt his energy and ambition will be a great asset to the Ray White Group in this new capacity. We look forward to supporting him and celebrating his success.
"I would also like to congratulate David for all the hard work he has put in to create a market leading business in Rockhampton. This is a great opportunity for Riley to be mentored by one of the best in the business and we wish David all the best.”
