Media release - 24th August, 2015

The rapidly expanding Raine & Horne brand has extended its reach with the launch of Raine & Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads, led by the highly experienced duo, Julie-Ann Manahan and Charlie Markham.

“Julie-Ann has been a successful licensed real estate agent since joining our industry in 1990, and her client list not only includes local buyers and sellers, but also extends to some of the most influential business executives from across the globe,” said Angus Raine, Executive Chairman, Raine & Horne.

Raine & Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads “Specialising in residential and commercial property, including stints with our competitors, as well as property developers Landcom and Clarendon Homes, Julie-Ann is a great communicator, who is extremely meticulous from the time she meets a prospective client through to the final sale.”

A licensed real estate agent since 1970, Mr Markham is well-known for his open, enthusiastic and honest approach to real estate sales, according to Mr Raine.

“Charlie’s vast experience and record has given him an enviable reputation and robust client loyalty. He is also a very successful businessman, having operated two thriving real estate agencies,” said Mr Raine.

“Charlie takes great pride in his ability to understand his clients’ expectations and to deliver an exemplary and personalised service, a skill that he has developed throughout his career.

“By managing his own diverse range of businesses, Charlie has developed management, marketing, financial and commercial skills which he now brings to Raine & Horne and I’m excited at the prospect of working with him, Julie-Ann and their team.”

Raine & Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads has hit the ground running with a team of six real estate professionals set to make a splash with real estate customers in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.

“Apart from Julie-Ann and myself, we employ Franco Braico, sales and marketing specialist, Kiara Bloom, social media strategist, property manager Karlyn Major and personal assistant Stephanie Trovato,” said Mr Markham.

Recognising a like-minded organisation with similar ideals and standards, Ms Manahan and Mr Markham linked with Raine & Horne because they wanted to align themselves with an organisation which comfortably reflected the excellence in service standards on which they have built their own reputations.

“Raine & Horne, with its training regimen, excellent resources and outstanding corporate reputation, is a perfect fit for our new business,” said Mr Markham.

Ms Manahan was attracted to Raine & Horne because of the integrity and excellence the brand represents.

“Its intensive training program, its market leading resources, plus its rewarding culture are a perfect fit with my own personal and business ideals,” said Ms Manahan.

“Our point of difference at Raine & Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads is our marketing – the way we embrace technology and maximise social media platforms.

“In addition, our location in the bustling Ocean Village shopping centre benefits from great foot traffic, and will help underpin the success of Raine & Horne Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads.”
