Hinterland real estate boom, sees new office open at Landsborough
The opening of the new Ray White Landsborough office signals both confidence in the booming Hinterland property market, and the growing strength of the local Ray White Beerwah team. With three offices now spanning Landsborough, Mooloolah Valley and Beerwah, Principal Alex Garden and his team are keen to establish a local presence that services and supports the communities where they live and work.
Speaking with GC&M News, Alex said he was driven to capture the market of the area and get ahead of the competition now, predicting a huge growth in the area that will only go from strength to strength in coming years as more people realise the beauty and appeal of Hinterland living. He said having local shopfronts were good in that a lot of walk in business still occurred. He said the new office captured interest both in the town and for people travelling up and down the range.
The new office is located on Landsborough-Maleny road in the space previously occupied by the Family Tree Café. Alex said he was pleased he was able to secure the location, and said he predicted the Hinterland market would see exponential growth over the next 10 years. He said he felt like this was merely the ‘calm before the storm’.
“This area is just going to get more popular. With new roads and infrastructure bringing travel times down and still a large number of relatively bigger blocks available as well as a growing unit market, both up-sizers and downsizers are well catered for. I think we’ll also see another small spike early next year,” he said.
He said while local knowledge and having a dynamic approach to the real estate industry were important, it was building relationships and being part of the local community that were often the most critical parts of what he and the team did.
“Real estate is 99% about customer service, and for us it’s all about being compassionate and community minded. Whatever we can do to support our community we do, because ultimately our community is the one that also supports us,” he said.
At just 29 years old, Alex is the youngest person in the history of Ray White to be principal of three offices. Alex credits his success to having an awesome team and family around him, and puts his motivation and drive down to becoming a dad at a relatively young age and wanting to make something of himself and provide for his family. As his business has expanded, Alex has reached out to his family to join the team.
“Having a great team I can absolutely rely on has been integral to our growth and consistency of service and results. Having Bailey Sims running the Landsborough Office and Jack Cornford at Mooloolah is like having a dream team on board and we couldn’t do what we do without the support of our entire team as this is a full 24/7 service business,” Alex explained.
