Top Offices – Sales and Leasing Fees: Ray White Commercial Queensland.

MORE THAN 150 guests descended on the Great Room in Brisbane’s W Hotel for the annual Ray White Commercial awards on Friday 30 August to celebrate the top offices and individual achievers throughout the leading network.

Ray White Commercial Head of Agency Operations Michael McCullagh said he was proud of every member and their achievements for the 2018-19 financial year.

“Looking around the room today, seeing so many familiar faces but plenty of new people too, is a real testament to how far we’ve come in the last year,” Mr McCullagh said.

“We’re lucky enough to be a part of something special at Ray White. A family-owned and family-run business for 117 years that puts values and clients above anything else.

“It gives you the platform to thrive. Whether that’s as an agent starting out in their career, or if you’ve been a part of the commercial team for 30 years, the environment is here for you to be successful.

“Real estate last year had its challenges and I’m incredibly proud of how we stood by our values and our client-centric approach and still delivered some fantastic results.
