The Ray White group has had representation in the suburb of Palm Beach and its neighboring suburbs of Elanora and Currumbin Waters for over 30 years, however the current franchisee only joined the ray White group in December 2008.
While new to the Ray White organization the Directors of the current business were anything but new to the real estate industry. Collectively they have in excess of 60 years experience in real estate industry and in excess of 40 years experience in the industry locally. Danny Fritz purchased PRDnationwide franchise locally in 1999 and under his direction by 2003 had established it firmly in the top 10 of the group. In 2005 John Caskey and Mark Gordon (whom previously had a combined 25 years with the Professionals locally) took up an invitation to become shareholders in PRDnationwide Palm Beach. The decision proved a good one; business continued to flourish and by 2008 had become the largest PRDnationwide office on the Gold Coast and the 3rd largest office nationally.
Despite this success, the Directors in December 2008 made the decision to leave PRDnationwide and joined Ray White. The decision was not an easy one but reflected the Directors overall desire to build a landmark best practice agency within the best marketing business possible – a desire to become one of the best of the best.
Since the change to Ray White in 2008 the business has grown significantly. In July 2009 it acquired the business (sales and property management) of Kevin Parkinson Real Estate, a long established and well respected local independent business. To the delight of the Directors the whole of the Kevin Parkinson team (to the man) elected to take up offers of employment within Ray White Palm Beach. The business now operates from two premises; the sales office is located in 6th Avenue (above blockbuster video) and the old office at 7 Palm Beach Avenue is now solely devoted to Property Management.
Now with over 30 employees, the acquisition of Kevin Parkinson makes Ray White Palm Beach the largest real estate employer in the area, something of which the Directors are extremely proud.
