Ray White Rural CEO Matt White said this represents a powerful moment for both the brand and the broader network.
“Jade and Peter are both integral members within the Ray White family in their own individual rights,” Matt said.
“The succession of such a reputable family business into the hands of young leaders with energy and enthusiasm is incredibly exciting for us.”
“Continuing a family business like this makes me immensely proud,” he added.
“To see a generational family continue in a local community not far from where Ray White began in 1902 is a pivotal moment, and we’re proud to stand behind the next generation.”
With a clear vision for the future, Jade and Peter are focused on growing their team, supporting the continued success of their sales agents and property managers, whilst building on the strong foundations already laid.
The business currently comprises a team of eight, with remarkable long-term tenure, a point of immense pride for the new leaders.
“We’re incredibly proud of our team,” Jade said. “Jye, Tim and Julie bring more than 20 years’ experience each, Jeanie over 15 years which is a credit to Mum and Dad.”
While the service, people and values remain unchanged, the team is already embracing evolution, particularly leaning further into Ray White’s technology, systems and network support.
“Being part of such a dynamic and progressive group is a genuine competitive advantage,” Peter said.
“The brand awareness, reputation, technology and success of Ray White allow us to deliver better outcomes for our clients and our people.”
Looking to the future, Jade and Peter are ready for the challenges, the continued success and being part of a truly wonderful community.
“I’m incredibly proud of the seamless succession we’ve been able to execute. To now be in a role I dreamed about when I started at 17 is a surreal moment,” Jade said.
“Continuing the name my parents forged is overwhelming but with Pete by my side, I know we’ll do great things.”
“I’m humbled by the responsibility of leading this team,” Peter said.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity, appreciative of the support, and genuinely excited about what Jade and I will achieve together. We’re all in. It feels serendipitous and I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else but Jade.”
