“Tom’s well known and highly respected in his field and I think he’s the perfect fit for the Ray White Commercial Qld team. It’s my pleasure to welcome him to the family.”

Ray White Commercial Qld executive director Mark Creevey, along with his fellow directors Tony Williams and Matthew Fritzsche, said he was delighted to welcome Mr Barr to the team.
 
“Tom brings over 15 years of experience, an impressive track record of investment sales and office leasing transactions, and strong relationships with key domestic and offshore clients,” Mr Creevey said.
 
“In the short term, our aim will be to get Tom integrated into the Ray White network, systems and resources.”
