Benalla local property trio Peter and Ricky Symes and Michael Devlin are taking their successful real estate business - with a presence in the local area since the 1930s - to the next level by joining Ray White with the same dedication to providing an even better service to their customers as Ray White Benalla.

Family is very important to the trio, having grown up in Benalla and also raising their families in the local area, and they have several family members employed within the business. As active members in the local community through their youth work and support of local sporting teams, the team intends to ensure community and family values are at the heart of their business.

And, Peter, Ricky and Michael have already hit the ground running - turning an 11 percent market share into 49 percent. “We have already experienced significant growth since we took over the business,” said Peter, “but we are looking to grow even more and add more people to our team. We want to dominate the market and ensure we are providing the ultimate customer experience to our clients, whether they are buying, selling, renting or investing.”

According to Peter, Benalla is a central hub located approximately two hours out of Melbourne with a population of 10,000, and growing. “Benalla is a beautiful little town, with massive botanical gardens and has a rich and strong history in sport.”

“Over the last four to five years we have seen a lot of development with a significant amount of land available. This saw land sales nearly double in 2014, and with a mixed bag of beautiful older houses, and land with development in housing, there is a fair bit going on in Benalla.”

Ray White Victoria CEO Domenic Belfiore said the team at Ray White Benalla and their values are synonymous with the family values held by Ray White, “As a family business, Peter, Ricky, Michael and their team are dedicated to providing their customers with a unique property experience dedicated to producing the best possible results. With impressive growth since they took over the business a year ago, we look forward to seeing this team grow, and cement their dominance as the number one real estate agency in Benalla.”

As local members of the Benalla community, the team at Ray White Benalla intend to remain for the long term, providing the best service and unique experience to their customers. “If our purchasers and our vendors are happy, then we are happy,” said Peter.

Located at 22 Bridge Street East, Benalla, and officially opening for business as Ray White Benalla on Tuesday 26 April, the team looks forward to assisting with your property needs and providing an unrivalled customer experience.
