Two of the Hunter Valley’s most experienced agents and Australia’s biggest real estate brand are coming to Kurri Kurri, with the opening of Ray White.
Rebecca Shiner and Carolyn Wallis-Tomlins have joined forces to provide the Hunter Valley with an unrivalled property service.
“As a start-up, we’re growing our business organically from the ground up. In a community as tight-knit as Kurri Kurri, we’ll be working hard to make sure every person who walks through our doors has a great experience - no matter who they are or what they need,” Rebecca said.
“We want to be to agency that’s here to help. And if we don’t have the answer straight away, we’ll find it.”
With Carolyn heading up sales and Rebecca leading Property Management, the new business partners both agree the Hunter Valley market is in a very strong position.
“We’re seeing a lot of new development coming through as more and more people flock to the area. The Hunter Expressway has really opened the area up and a lot of people are moving from Newcastle up to the Valley where it’s more affordable.
We’re even Sydneysiders buy land up here to build their dream home - something that’s becoming harder and harder in metropolitan areas,” Carolyn said.
“Investors are also active in the market - people buying weekenders in particular. The rental market is still performing well with low vacancy rates. A lot of people were waiting to see what happened with interest rates - this latest cut has sparked activity again,” Rebecca added.
For Ray White NSW CEO, Stephen Nell, this is a welcome home for both Rebecca and Carolyn.
“We are thrilled to have Rebecca and Carolyn rejoin the Ray White family. They are two very experienced agents and we’re delighted they will be opening our new office in Kurri Kurri,” Mr Nell said.
For the Ray White Kurri Kurri team, the decision to rejoin Ray White was an easy one.
“We both spent some time working for independent agencies and that experience gave us a real appreciation of the support you get from Ray White. We always knew if we ever opened our own business it would be with Ray White, and we’re so excited for what the future holds.”
