Sydney, NSW (13 August 2021) Leading southwestern Sydney real estate firm Raine & Horne St Marys has maintained its vice-like grip on one of the most competitive sales categories announced last night at the 2021 Raine & Horne National Awards.

Presented virtually by co-host of Seven Network’s ‘The Morning Show’, Kylie Gillies, the awards attracted more than 100 offices who witnessed emerging sales talent, Jack Turner from Raine & Horne St Marys grabbed the hotly contested Top Salesperson Number of Sales category.

The young gun St Marys agent finished just ahead of South Australian sales aces Nick Grosvenor from the Superbrand’s Strathalbyn office and Michael Cox from Raine & Horne Murraylands. 

More first-time and long-time winners

Another first-time category winner Frank Barker from Raine & Horne Southern Highlands won the National Salesperson Number of Sales category. Mr Barker finished just ahead of star Sydney agents Rebecca Mitchell, of Raine & Horne Lane Cove and Hannan Bouskila, from the Eastern Suburbs powerhouse Raine & Horne Double Bay/ Bondi Beach.

Raine & Horne Double Bay/Bondi Beach, led by one of Australia’s superstar real estate agents Ric Serrao and long-term business partner Martin Maskin was swimming in gold after an award-winning night.

The mega office won a treble of major award categories, Top National Office Auction Listing, Top National Office Number of Sales and Top National Office Dollar Value. Raine & Horne Lane Cove led by Managing Director Stuart Bourne grabbed a commendable second in the Auction Listing category.

In a repeat of last year’s win, Mr Serrao finished first past the post in the Top National Principal Dollar Value category, nudging out Ben Pryde, a Co-Principal of Raine & Horne Mollymook/Milton. Mr Pryde turned the tables on the Eastern Suburbs ace in the Top National Principal Number of Sales category. 

Raine & Horne Executive Chairman Angus Raine congratulated the winners – and all entrants – for their dedication to delivering the highest service to their clients and supporting the Raine & Horne brand in a very challenging year. 

“Raine & Horne is committed to continuous improvement, and the Awards provide an opportunity to recognise outstanding achievements in sales, property management and administration for individual and their offices across Australia,” Mr Raine said.

“I’m truly thrilled to see so many first-time winners and I congratulate all the frontrunners and thank all the finalists for their absolute commitment to upholding the highest real estate standards and enthusiasm despite the challenges of the last 18 months.”
