Family team ready to make inroad in Hills market

Raine & Horne is making its presence felt in Sydney’s flourishing Hills District with the launch of a new office in Baulkham Hills, which is already selling homes above market expectations.

Led by experienced mother and son team, Bev and Adrian Root, Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills is the fourth office to be established by Raine & Horne in the Hills region.

According to Adrian Root, Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills will service Baulkham Hills, and nearby north western Sydney suburbs.

Mr Root, a resident of Baulkham Hills since 2005, has already hit the ground running, securing a number of property sales above expectation.

“We recently sold a four bedroom, two bathroom property at 19 Governors Way, Oatlands, for $805,000, which is a great result as the property was listed at ‘offers above $775,000’.

Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills also listed 37 Hunterford Crescent, Oatlands, situated opposite the prestigious King's and Tara Schools, at ‘offers above $990,000’.

“We sold this stately four bedroom family home for more than $1.02 million,” says Mr Root.

The Baulkham Hills market is hot right now with buyers, says Mr Root, as a consequence of record low interest rates and the future potential impact of infrastructure improvements provided by the North West Rail Link.

“The North West Rail Link is driving enquiry, while access to quality local schools, shopping centres and the region’s family-friendly character are significant attractions with buyers,” says Mr Root.

Angus Raine, Executive Chairman and CEO of Raine & Horne, is delighted with the launch of Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills, and the opportunity to work with Bev and Adrian Root, who recently operated Raine & Horne Eastwood.

“Bev has been in real estate since 1976, while Adrian launched his career after graduating from high school over a decade and a half ago and they wanted to make the switch to Baulkham Hills as they live in the area,” says Mr Raine.

“Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills will have a decidedly family feel, with Callan Root also joining the team to steer the firm’s property management business.”

Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills is located at 14c Old Northern Road, Baulkham Hills and will deliver real estate sales and property management services. To contact Raine & Horne Baulkham Hills call 9639 3959.
