A local real estate agency has revealed their winning formula that has seen them win big at the annual QLD/Northern Rivers Raine & Horne State Awards. For the third year in a row, Raine and Horne Port Douglas/Mossman has come out as the highest selling branch in the state and are putting it down to their ingrained team spirit. 

Held at the end of March in the Gold Coast, Raine and Horne Director Travis Schumacher and Head of Property Management Jocelyn Schumacher flew down to attend the ceremony and were pleasantly surprised with the win.

Mr Schumacher said Port Douglas has seen a positive trend in real estate over the past 12 months which has helped with property sales in the Douglas Shire. “It’s been a popular destination for buyers over the past year so the market has been strong, which is great news for the region,” he explained. 

The win was an obvious proud moment but one that Mr Schumacher openly shares with his team. “Winning a team award such as this means so much more than a personal award,” he explained. “We’ve got a really strong team and I think that’s what allows us to reach our goals,” he continued. “Everyone has each other's backs and we’re really supportive of one another and encourage each other to be the best we can be”. 

Mr Schumacher said the team goal has always been to aim high, noting the great culture within the team as the key to their success. “We set our sights on being one of the highest ranking offices in Queensland, but what I’m more proud of is that ability to maintain it.

And with results like these, Raine and Horne Port Douglas/Mossman might just be onto something. Not only did they take out Top Office for Sales Dollar Value they also ranked as the number one coastal sales office and number two in number of transactions proving that team work really does make the dream work.
