Originally from London, Ray White Erskineville and Surry Hills senior property manager Anita knew she wanted to work with the group before she’d even landed in Australia.

“When I first moved to Australia, Ray White was the company I had in my head, I knew I wanted to work there. The brand is on point and everybody I met spoke so highly of it,” Anita said.

She joined the inner Sydney office in 2020 as a BDM and spent four years with the team at Ray White Erskineville and Surry Hills, where she said the people felt “just like a real family”.

But after 15 years in property management across two countries, and working every Saturday, Anita decided it was time for a change.

“I decided I wanted to move into a property manager role but there wasn’t one available at the time with the office so I made the move to another agency,” she said.

“Straight away I realised that it didn’t feel right. I was missing that welcoming feeling of family and didn’t have a connection with the brand.”

Anita maintained a strong relationship with the directors at Ray White Erskineville and Surry Hills, so when she heard a property manager role had become available, she reached out immediately.

“They said they would love to have me back. It was serendipitous,” she said.

“But now that I’m back, I know that I have 100 per cent made the right decision.

“When you’re thinking of going somewhere else, you have those thoughts about whether the grass is greener. But I can definitely say that the grass is not greener and if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

“At Ray White, I always feel like the people around me and the management team actually care. It just cemented how I feel about working at Ray White - I’m not going anywhere.”
