About Jose

I was born on a remote island in the Seychelles and moved to Guernsey in the Channel Island in 1982 to start a new life with my wife Michelle. Together we bought a Hotel which we ran successfully for 17 years. My role as Chef was a challenge but something I really enjoyed creating the new menus for our five star A La Carte Restaurant which later boasted a credit listing in a popular UK Good Food Guide. In September 2000 we moved with the children over to the Gold Coast where I started my new career in real estate and embarked on something which I have found to be very rewarding. My love of this lifestyle coupled with my love of architecture and property have proved to be invaluable in my new role as a very busy Real Estate Agent. I started selling properties in Nerang and then quickly moved closer to home in the Monterey Keys & Hope Island area. Before long I was very busy helping clients buy and sell in a very lucrative market whilst knowing that this area was the perfect place to live. It was a wonderful rewarding time. In 2003 I was invited to open an office in Hope Island Resort on behalf of the Developer ‘Walker Corporation’ and for the next 7 years have worked side by side with my wife Michelle and a strong dedicated team of experienced Real Estate Agents selling an area that has grown immensely into a wonderful place to live and enjoy. My experiences along the way have taught me that dedication to my valued clients is paramount. Joining Ray White Surfers Paradise in 2010 was perfect timing with a new better office location and a great long standing Company behind me. It has proved even more successful and rewarding. I am still loving it today. TESTIMONIALS: Jose, having been in this industry for over 20 years it is the first time I have ever complimented another office. My dealings with you and your team have been first rate; you are the only office I know that genuinely puts the vendor first in your dealing. Regrettably most companies have systems in place to protect the short term interests of the franchise to the detriment of the seller. When I had my own offices in Brisbane we were easily the most successful in the area, constantly outselling all the larger franchise offices, my rules were that we wanted to sell our vendors homes at the best price on any given day, irrespective of whether they were a "HOT" listing or a new listing, ALL properties were for sale by all staff even on conjunctions. Your ethos and attitude to your vendors is a welcome change from what most in our industry now practice. You and your team have turned around the Ray White name in this area and I applaud you for your business dealings - Mr. Corby Full marks awarded to Jose, Michelle and their team. We were very happy with the end result of our sale after having been on the market for quite some time. We can certainly justify our end result when we compared recent sales in the Resort. It was a long hard effort by Michelle and Jose. They guided us through good marketing and many offers that were not accepted. They never gave up encouraging us through the selling process and did not pressure us to sell below our expectation. We highly recommend them and their team and will certainly use them in any future transactions we may do in the future - Mr & Mrs. Hogg We want to send our most sincere thanks for the dedication and enthusiasm with which you helped us to sell our dream home in order to make our unexpected and quick move back to Europe. We never imagined that this will happen , especially in the uncertain housing market situation at the moment. Your professionalism and knowledge of Ray White real estate market shined throughout our sale process , we also felt we had found a friend and councillor to help us through the process. For keeping us calm and informed through the whole process, for assuring and reassuring us until we felt comfortable; for your patience, professionalism and expertise; we can't thank you enough. - Mr Fras
