Dale Atkin, who began his career as a developer before transitioning into sales, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture.
“Having been part of the Drouin real estate landscape for years, I’m excited to lead our team in this new capacity. Our deep-rooted connections and commitment to this community are the foundation of our success,” Dale said.
Dale is also known in the community for his incredible back story as a survivor of the 2002 Bali bombings.
Office manager Felicity Bryant, with 16 years of dedicated service, said “Our team’s longevity and cohesion are rare in this industry. We understand the unique needs of Drouin’s residents and are dedicated to providing personalised, trustworthy service.”
Libby Talbot, who started in property management before becoming Dale’s sales associate and an agent in her own right, highlighted the strategic decision to remain with the Ray White brand.
“Ray White’s reputation and support are unparalleled. Staying with a brand that our community associates us with ensures continuity and trust.”
Drouin, located approximately 90 kilometers east of Melbourne, is a picturesque town known for its rolling green hills and strong community spirit.
Felicity said that the area has seen significant growth, attracting young families seeking a rural lifestyle with convenient city access via direct train lines, as well as retirees appreciating the tranquility and proximity to essential amenities.
“The town’s expansion includes new housing estates catering to the diverse needs of its growing population,” she said.
Ray White Victoria and Tasmania CEO Domenic Belfiore said that Ray White Drouin boasts the strongest market share in the region, a testament to the team’s extensive experience and local knowledge.
“Ray White Drouin’s success is built on a proven sales record and unwavering commitment to customer service. With these three exceptional individuals at the helm of the business, clients can expect comprehensive support throughout their real estate journey,” Domenic said.
