Local duo Katherina Kostrzak and Gavin Adams are looking forward to growing a top performing team to reach new heights as the proud new business owners of Ray White Kurrajong, with local Principal Peter Cidgey moving on to concentrate on sister business Ray White Richmond.

The pair look forward to continuing their relationship with outgoing principal Peter, working closely with him and his team to deliver their collective customers the experience the Ray White name has become synonymous with.

Katherina, who is one of Ray White’s top 10 metro sales people, and Gavin have inherited a high performing team of nine, including Ray White’s number one metro salesperson Justine Popple and a culture which they have been instrumental in building in their time at Ray White Kurrajong.

Katherina takes over the business as Principal in her 10th year as part of Ray White Kurrajong, while Gavin joined the team 12 months ago, with a background in Management and operations at Woolworths Ltd. Gavin has been instrumental in restructuring Ray White Kurrajong, resulting in a more efficient and profitable office since he has been a part of the team - they are now ranked in the top five metro offices for the Ray White Group in NSW.

“Gavin has taken on the managing role and brought new energy, structures and processes to the business. He is a big part of the reason we are doing so well,” said Katherina. “He’s introduced targets, KPIs and we now know what we have to achieve each week, each month and this gives us the confidence to move forward, and shows us the direction which we are heading.”

The duo aim to arm their team with the best tools and resources to grow their market share and a key goal for them will be to also build an impressive rent roll in an area they have grown to love.

“We moved to Kurrajong five years ago and loved it. It’s the last town before you hit the Blue Mountains and the people here have created a big sense of community. One local guy mows people’s lawns for free so we recently donated some new work boots to him to say thank you. That’s the type of community we have here,” said Gavin.

With plenty of acreage on offer for those seeking a tree change, Katherina and Gavin are finding many people are choosing the same lifestyle option, much like they did - and to commemorate and thank the new members of the community the team at Ray White Kurrajong are holding a thank you night on 17 May.

“It’s a pizza and cider night and the purpose is to form strong relationships with new people moving into the area. We want to pause for a minute to say ‘hey it’s been an awesome time selling your property - we’ve become friends over it.’”
