The Ray White Commercial 2022 annual awards went off with a bang last night with more than 260 people gathered on the Gold Coast to celebrate the top offices and individuals from across the Australasian network.
Ray White Commercial head of agency operations Andrew Freeman said he was proud of every member and their achievements in the 2021/22 financial year.
“Congratulations to all the nominees, finalists and of course the winners, we are so fortunate to have you representing our commercial brand,” Mr Freeman said.
“It’s wonderful to see everyone come together to celebrate the achievements and success of the past year.
“Once again the commercial network has shown its incredible strength throughout the last 12 months.
“Our growth has been phenomenal in our 21st year, transacting an additional $1.5 billion of real estate compared to last year.
“We achieved this by remaining flexible, adapting to changes, and continuing to learn from each other.
“By working together we will continue to climb closer to our potential.”
Sydney-based Ray White Group managing director Dan White congratulated the commercial network on such a fantastic year.
“It’s been a great year for the commercial team,” Mr White said.
“I’m extremely proud of what we’ve done, and our continued growth.
“When the market does lift like it did you grabbed the opportunity when it knocked.
“For everyone here who gave it everything last year and made the most of it, I salute you.”
Ray White hotel and leisure experts HTL Property took out the award for top overall office for settled commission, while HTL Property director Andrew Jolliffe took out the award for top individual - settled commission.
“It feels equal parts rewarding and humbling,” Mr Jolliffe said.
“Being part of a group that’s 120 years old is the humbling part, and it’s rewarding because during an interesting time of economic history in Australia they’ve been able to achieve the results they have, and it’s a testimony to them.”
The winner of the prestigious Director’s Cup, a prize awarded to individuals who have made a significant contribution to Ray White, went to Michael Willems of Ray White Commercial Gold Coast.
Mr Willems was recognised for his role in supporting the growth of Ray White Commercial over almost three decades, and for his mentorship of newer agents rising through the ranks.
“It’s been almost 30 years and I’ve had so much fun and enjoyment,” Mr Willems said.
“I have truly enjoyed working alongside the White family as well as (Ray White Surfers’ Paradise Group founders) Andrew and Greg.
“Thank you for all your support over the years and decades, and hopefully we’ve got a few more decades left in us.”
