“Our group (Ellerslie and Mount Wellington) has reported 158 per cent auction growth in the last six months along, so we needed to deliver a dedicated auction space that meets the evolving demands of our clients and provides a place that our team is proud to work from.
“The decision to invest so heavily in an office remodel had an immediate effect on staff retention, productivity and satisfaction. With a cohesive, collaborative space, our team can focus on doing what they do best – which is selling residential real estate.”
While somewhat operational in its original form, the brothers say the original premises required substantial refurbishment, beginning with a new floor plan more supportive of the team culture.
At the end of May, David and Arthur opened the doors to the new-look Ellerslie branch, which includes eight partitioned offices with elegant steel-framed sliding doors, a large central workstation, purpose-built auction room exceeding 50-person capacity, and private meeting/negotiation spaces.
In addition to a vantage point overlooking Ellerslie Village, Ray White’s uplifting brand colours are incorporated throughout the premises, with high-end fixtures and finishes which create a sophisticated and contemporary atmosphere.
“We are extremely proud of the refurbishment. However, an increase in productivity and team satisfaction is the real barometer. We have had glowing feedback from staff and the broader network, including customers and clients, who feel energised and proud to do business in such a great space,” Arthur said.
“We are on track to achieve some important business goals this year, with this new branch environment the perfect backdrop for our continued success.”
