Mario Carbone is a licensed real estate agent with a distinguished track record across a broad industry platform encompassing residential, commercial, leasing and investment. Having performed in many diverse and pivotal roles with some of the area’s most dynamic agencies - and now as Director and Principal of Ray White Drummoyne – Mario has rightfully earned a place amongst Sydney’s most experienced and knowledgeable agents. Mario began working in real estate immediately after finishing school. Whilst cutting his teeth in the industry during those early days, he also spent several years in the Army Reserve which he believes helped him to develop a solid work ethic, a deep empathy and old-fashioned values; attributes Mario believes are under-rated qualities that are often sadly lacking in the real estate arena. The inner west has been Mario’s home his entire life and in fact his mother owns and operates the long-standing Italian restaurant ‘Filicudi’ in Five Dock. Mario’s European heritage and fluency in the language allows him to form a strong connection particularly to the local Italian community, yet he identifies and relates to people from all cultures and backgrounds with equal professionalism. As a “career agent”, Mario is dedicated to delivering consistent excellence in customer service. His focus with Ray White Drummoyne is new client inductions, ultimately ensuring best practice and providing expert advice and assistance. He is a highly skilled strategist and negotiator with outstanding resolution capabilities who has developed lasting relationships with property owners and investors throughout his career. His commitment to the industry and a genuine understanding of clients’ needs is something that truly sets him apart and has allowed him to adapt in an ever-changing market. He believes there is no room for complacency in an industry that’s constantly evolving and always unpredictable; undertaking regular training himself and providing guidance and mentorship to others in the industry. As a long established, highly influential and widely respected brand, Ray White Drummoyne was the perfect fit for Mario. His expertise, skills and dedication to customer service across all levels will with certainty help the company continue to achieve premium results for clients throughout the Inner West.
