Experienced business broker Brett Buckley has officially taken the reigns of Ray White Business Sales (South Australia).
With a strong history in mergers and acquisitions across multiple industries, plus his recent experience as a buyers advocate, Mr Buckley specialises in developing exit strategies for business owners wanting to maximise outcomes on their business sales.
Transitioning to business broking at a national firm five years ago, Mr Buckley said he is looking forward to taking his business to the next level with the Ray White Group.
“The thing about Ray White is that I could feel the family influence as soon as I walked in. It had a different atmosphere - still corporate and professional, but very much still a family business,” Mr Buckley said.
“It's been proven to me since day one that Ray White care about their members. It’s not a company that says ‘here’s our brand - sink or swim’. They actually ask ‘what can we do for you, to help you improve your business’,” Mr Buckley said.
Ray White South Australia’s CEO Matthew Lindblom congratulated Mr Buckley on taking the next step into business ownership.
“Growth and family business are in the DNA of Ray White and we are very proud that Brett has chosen to join our family.
“We look forward to supporting the team in reaching their full potential in any way we can,” Mr Lindblom said.
Over the next 12 months, Mr Buckley is keen to grow his team with members that not only fit their existing culture, but will fill in the knowledge gaps reflected in the current market.
“We definitely have a business that is well established, but I’m looking forward to improving our processes and procedures. This will ultimately come down to finding the right person for the job,” Mr Buckley said.
Combining their personalised service with the strength of the Ray White brand, Mr Buckley said he is confident that his business will continue its growth.
“We already have a solid foundation and a great database that attracts valued buyers, but having the backing of Ray White and the reputation that comes with the brand will be invaluable,” Mr Buckley said.
“We’re excited to grow our reputation as the brokers of choice and increase our exposure, so people know about us and how we do business differently to our competitors.”
Mr Buckley’s qualifications include a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a Graduate Diploma in Management, Diploma in Property Services, Diploma of Project Management, Diploma of Marketing and is a Certified Practicing Marketer (CPM) and a Fellow of the Australian Marketing Institute (FAMI).
