Already one of Australia’s most high-performance real estate offices, Raine & Horne Double Bay/Bondi Beach/Bondi Junction will accelerate into 2019 after successfully signing two leading Sydney Eastern Suburbs sales agents.

The office, led by experienced real estate principals Martin Maskin and Ric Serrao, has secured the services of high-profile agents Peter Starr and Jane Schumann, along with their respective teams.

Mr Starr and Ms Schumann have been recruited from two other major real estate brands, McGrath and Di Jones, to drive more listings and sales in 2019 in their respective geographies.
 
Mr Maskin said that having launched his stellar real estate career in the early 1990s, Peter Starr is a specialist in the sale of properties in Double Bay, Paddington, Vaucluse, Watsons Bay, Millers Point, the Sydney CBD and Woollahra.
 
“Attracting Peter away from one of our key competitors is a massive coup for Raine & Horne Double Bay/Bondi Beach/Bondi Junction,” he said. 
 
“There is virtually nothing Peter doesn’t know about the real estate markets between the Harbour Bridge and Watsons Bay. He also comes with a reputation for achieving record sales for vendors based on his ability to understand his client’s goals and provide feasible marketing solutions.”
 
Apart from his incredible knowledge and practical sales experience, Mr Starr has owned and operated real estate businesses in the Sydney CBD, Potts Point, Edgecliff and Double Bay.
 
Mr Maskin said that Mr Starr will add tremendous value to the team.

“Peter’s hands-on business experience will be an invaluable support to Ric and myself as we seek to expand our offerings to our clients in 2019 and beyond. I’m just delighted Peter has decided to join our business.”
 
Mr Serrao said that he was equally delighted that Jane Schumann has joined the team.

He said that she will service Double Bay, Woollahra, Paddington, Rushcutters Bay, Potts Point and Darlinghurst.
 
“Since joining the real estate industry in the mid-1980s after a successful career as a publicist for a major record label, Jane has become highly regarded for her professionalism and ability to foster long-term client relationships,” Mr Serrao said.

“Jane doesn’t take a cookie-cutter approach to real estate sales and understands that every home transaction is different. She is highly adaptable and can develop bespoke solutions for every vendor.
 
“It’s Jane’s straightforward approach to real estate sales that ensures vendors keep coming back and referring plenty of business her way. Jane is a major acquisition for our business.”
