Training and technology the key for Raine & Horne offices in Fremantle and Bunbury

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.

“This is a phenomenal performance from Susan considering Raine & Horne employs literally thousands of sales agents around Australia, and the award recognises the strength of the Bunbury real estate market,” says Ms O’Neill.

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.

“Likewise, our leading principals are team leaders, mentors and coaches, who soak up as much training as possible, and who urge their teams to greater heights.”
