Leading Brisbane commercial property specialist, Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North, has stolen the show at the 2016 Raine & Horne National Awards, held last night on exotic Hamilton Island in Queensland’s beautiful Whitsundays.

The hotshot commercial property firm, led by Principal Trent Bruce, scored first place in the Top Commercial Office (Dollar Value) category, beating Raine & Horne Commercial WA into second, with Raine & Horne Brisbane Southside in third place.

The Stafford-based commercial juggernaut scored first in the Top Commercial Office (Number of Sales) category.

Jay Sheffield of Raine & Horne Commercial North Sydney ran third in this category.

Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North’s Lawrence Temple finished a commendable second behind Anthony Vulinovich from Raine & Horne Commercial WA in the Top Salesperson (Sales Dollar Value) category.

Angus Raine, Executive Chairman, Raine & Horne Commercial, said the strong showing by Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North in the 2015/16 financial year demonstrated that the firm’s tenacity, consistency, use of technology and belief in the auction process is paying dividends.

“Trent and the team continue to win awards because they have put their faith in the auction process to sell commercial real estate,” said Mr Raine.

“Using the auction process can achieve faster sales and more compelling financial results for owners of commercial property.”

The team at Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North have invested in employing and then training younger agents in the skills of commercial real estate sales, according to Mr Raine.

“They have a great team culture at Raine & Horne Commercial Brisbane North and this is attracting some exciting and well-credentialed talent,” he said.

Mr Bruce has encouraged his team to embrace the latest technologies and systems available to commercial real estate to ensure they are providing the very best level of service to their owners, investors and tenants.

“They are always looking for ways to improve the performance of their team through technology, and they are leaders in the use of database marketing and social media to promote and sell their listings,” said Mr Raine.
