Ray White WA chief executive Mark Whiteman said the network had defied the trend of the worst market in two decades to post a record result and the message from the night was clear – the group was keen to keep growing and getting better.
“Our people are really wonderful,” he said.
“In the state’s worst real estate year they produced nearly 3000 sales and more than $1.4 billion in sales value, we are very proud of them all but
I know the best is yet to come,” he said.
