Ray White’s Gladstone office is celebrating its 40th birthday following Bruce and Edgar Allen establishing the agency in 1980.
While the brothers sold the business in 2008, it has remained in the family after Bruce Allen’s son, Andrew, took over with co-director John Fieldus.
“The business has reached an amazing milestone, the outlook for the Gladstone property market into the future is very bright and we look forward to continuing the tradition of supporting the Gladstone community,” Mr Andrew Allen said.
Mr Fieldus has been a part of the Ray White Gladstone team for 32 years, highlighting the importance of creating close bonds and a family feeling as one of the keys to success.
“We’re custodians of the first Ray White franchise outside the White family,” Mr Fieldus said.
“I think the thing that I admire looking back is the family aspect of not only the Ray White Group but also the Allen family that started the business.
“It’s still in the Allen family, but the way they have embraced me over the last 32 years, they’ve always made me feel awfully welcome.
“It’s somewhere that has a genuine family feel throughout the business, and Andrew and I take that seriously in the family we have raised here.”
Ray White Queensland CEO Tony Warland explained the family company’s success which has seen them endure 40 years in business.
“This is a story that we love to tell,” Mr Warland said.
“The office has remained in the family for 40 years and Ray White Gladstone has now surpassed 1,040 properties under management.
“This is extraordinary considering Gladstone is a close community of around 35,000 people.
“We congratulate the whole team on this achievement, and note that they have never had a lower vacancy rate at around 0.5 per cent.”
