New Member Series: Ray White Commercial
Using a wide network of offices, Ray White Commercial CSR has taken a unique approach to finding and marketing Large Format Retail property. Headed by CEO Julie Ryan, the team has an innovative approach to finding attractive Large Format Retail space which closely matches requirements.
“Part of my background is a number of years in military intelligence, and so a data-driven way of thinking has shaped how we approach client needs.
“We find that rather than being focused on just one area, we seek to understand our customers’ needs in as much detail as possible. That practical knowledge enables us to work with our extensive network to find sites that are highly likely to be suitable,” said Ms Ryan.
“This can remove a lot of the time and frustration that goes into acquiring sites to lease or build. Finding one agent who can get the job done in a wide range of locations, is attractive to those who choose to work with us for their property needs.”
According to Ms Ryan, growing regional towns hold a wide range of opportunities for Large Format Retail. Yet, in regional locations it is rare to find an agent who has working knowledge of Large Format Retail. She adds, “Our cohesive approach to working through local agents who trust us, means we can deliver sites that would otherwise be invisible to acquisition teams.”
Julie Ryan is a life-long real estate agent, having grown up in a family of developers and agents. Her experience is global, having worked for highly successful organisations and individuals around the world for more than 35 years.
She is the agent even other agents turn to for advice regarding strategy and best practice. As a mark of the regard she is held in by the industry, Julie has had a number of years being the official mentor to the very highest performing salespeople in the world for several international property groups, and has worked as a consultant and speaker in North America.
Joining Julie in guiding the growth of the Large Format Retail team is Grant Turner. In addition to his years in selling and leasing property, Grant was responsible for leading digital marketing initiatives during his tenure at realestate.com.au.
Grant’s deep understanding of property, people, and technology enables him to create bespoke marketing programs that deliver exceptional results.
With a reputation for integrity, backed by drive, determination and a solid platform of expertise, Julie and Grant are always willing to share their insights to help others thrive.
