Raine & Horne Fremantle and Raine & Horne Bunbury were among the big winners at a major industry awards night in Melbourne recently.

Held at the iconic Grand Hyatt Melbourne, the 2011/12 Raine & Horne National Awards attracted a record 400 guests from the leading Australian real estate group’s national and international network, with Raine & Horne Fremantle grabbing the prestigious ‘rhcompass award’.

“rhcompass is Raine & Horne’s comprehensive business operating system, designed to capture important and valuable client information to facilitate effective communication and successful prospect and vendor management,” explains Rae O’Neill, Business Support & Development Manager, Raine & Horne Pty Ltd.

“There are hundreds of offices in the Raine & Horne network and every single office uses the ground-breaking rhcompass to help them list and sell more properties and deliver the very best level of customer service.

“This award is a therefore a significant win for Raine & Horne Fremantle, as it recognises their commitment to fully utilising the rhcompass technology, features and services.”

In addition to the rhcompass win, Madison Hammond from Raine & Horne Fremantle won ‘Office Administrator of the Year’, while sales agent Susan Pitts from Raine & Horne Bunbury was ranked in the top ten for volume of sales in 2011/12.

Meanwhile, Paulleen Astill, also from Raine & Horne Bunbury, added further success by taking out the award for ‘WA Property Manager of the Year’.

Angus Raine, CEO, Raine & Horne, congratulated the winning offices and individual award winners, and suggested that Raine & Horne’s best offices in WA demonstrate a number of common characteristics.

“Our leading offices in WA have significant rent rolls and all team members consistently attend training,” says Mr Raine.
