Ray White Commercial Auckland Director Mike Hoeft.
“I’m very grateful that the Horrobin family were willing to support my ambition.
“Ray White as a brand is growing so successfully in Auckland, New Zealand and beyond, so the opportunity for Ray White Commercial is huge.
“We have the unique ability to utilize the Damerell Group infrastructure and learn from and collaborate with the great salespeople and directors already in place.”
Both Mr Hoeft and Mr Buchanan agreed a post-restriction world would be very different – but it was one they were well prepared to assist clients with.
“We’re empathetic to people’s current situations and simply want to offer the best possible service no matter what the circumstance,” Mr Hoeft said.
“Deals are continuing despite COVID-19 and there are plenty of opportunities for both landlords and tenants. The relationships we build upon now will stay with us forever off the back of quality service.
“We also believe continuing to strengthen ties with our Australian colleagues will serve our clients well as we see increased levels of cross-border activity.
“We’re here to help guide clients through transactions and are optimistic that brokerage activity will follow a ‘Nike swoosh’ trajectory for the foreseeable future.”
“There’s a real confidence in Auckland this COVID-19 experience has been a nation-building exercise where we’ve been able to come together and save lives,” Mr Buchanan said.
“Yes, the economy has taken a hit, but I really believe this will deliver the confidence to big business that this country can do anything we put our minds to in the future.
“I expect larger infrastructure projects to get the green light further down the track as we make a commitment to ensuring Auckland is an even bigger and better place to live.”
