Noosa market heavyweights Mike Hay and David Conolly join Ray White
Mike Hay and David Conolly have officially joined forces with Australia’s largest real estate network to launch Ray White Noosa.
After 15 years of national top-tier success, they are injecting serious corporate horsepower into their trusted local expertise. For Noosa sellers, this means unprecedented buyer reach, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched selling power.
Co-principal Mike Hay said that while they weren’t actively seeking a change, the sheer scale, support, and capital city dominance of the Ray White brand made the decision easy.
“We have always been very aware of the strength of the Ray White brand, Noosa is a national hotspot, heavily driven by interstate migration. We are now directly plugged into Ray White’s massive capital city databases. Our clients’ homes are instantly exposed to affluent buyers in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane before it even hits the public market.” Mike said.
“Their dominance within the real estate industry, particularly across the capital cities, aligns strongly with the Noosa market and gives us great confidence in the opportunities ahead.”
A key driving factor behind the alignment was a strong cultural synergy.
For Mike and Dave, finding a network that shared those core values was paramount.
“Culture was a very important factor for us,” Dave said.
“Visiting the Ray White head office in Sydney, we were struck by how positive, loyal, and long-tenured the staff were, with many team members having been there for decades. That sense of stability and pride really resonated with us.”
For existing and future clients of Ray White Noosa, the day-to-day experience will remain anchored by the same trusted local team, but with significantly boosted corporate horsepower.
“Clients will benefit from stronger systems, marketing reach, and more streamlined communication, while still working with the same trusted local team they know” Mike said.
“Early feedback has already been extremely positive, and we expect the change to feel seamless, with the added advantage of greater support and resources behind every interaction.”
“The business will immediately integrate with Ray White’s cutting-edge technology suite, including Profit Pulse, Concierge, and its advanced database systems” Mike said.
“This will unlock a massive advantage: the ability to seamlessly cross-flow buyers and sellers between Noosa and Ray White’s massive capital city networks, capturing the lucrative interstate migration market,” he said.
“Clients will benefit from improved systems and stronger marketing reach. The rebrand comes at a time of continued strength for the local property landscape.
Known for its prestigious beachfront estates alongside accessible, high-demand pockets, the Noosa region remains one of Australia’s most dynamic property hotspots.”
“The Noosa market continues to perform strongly, supported by an incredible lifestyle that attracts buyers from across the country,” Mike said.
“With consistently low property availability, demand remains very strong and the market continues to show resilience and depth. This unique mix creates a broad and active market, attracting a wide range of buyers and investors.”
Ray White Queensland CEO Jason Andrew said the pair’s transition to Ray White is not just a change of colours; it is a launchpad for expansion.
“This is a best in market move, the team has already secured an additional high-profile office location to broaden their physical footprint,” Jason said.
“The partnership provides a powerful platform to scale the business, with plans to actively
recruit top-tier talent, expand property management capabilities, and broaden theirspecialised service offerings across the Noosa Shire.”
