RAY White members across Victoria sprang into action following Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announcement of the snap lockdown in the wake of the fast moving infectious coronavirus strain.
A Stage 4 lockdown will commence at 11:59pm, Friday, February 12 and run until 11:59, Wednesday, February 17. Mr Andrews said the UK strain presents a further challenge to Victoria.
After navigating two significant lockdowns in 2020, no real estate group was better placed to weather the storm than the Ray White Victoria network. Last year, the Victorian arm of Ray White successfully converted more than 1000 auctions to online, conducted countless virtual inspections and communicated extensively with their customers throughout the strict Stage 4 lockdown.
Ray White Victoria and Tasmania CEO Stephen Dullens (pictured above) said the group was well versed and prepared for the latest lockdown.
“We know what to do and have the systems and processes in place to continue to provide the best possible service to our customers. We have built a robust online auction platform and can complete all transactions electronically," Mr Dullens said.
"No one is more prepared for a lockdown like the people of Victoria and we are very confident the strong real estate conditions across the state will continue. Essentially, we have been here before and are ready to go again.
“Over the past year we have been able to fine tune our online auction process and smoothly transitioned to a completely digital offering in line with restrictions to keep our members and clients safe.
“We will continue to support our Victorian customers to ensure they receive the best level of care and support during this time.”
Over the next five days the group has 114 auctions booked, the vast majority of which will move to online and a small number are expected to be extended further out.
