A  very positive experience with an excellent result.

A very positive experience with an excellent result.

Selling our property was a big decision for us, and the process certainly came with a few challenges along the way. Through it all, Ray Murphy was exceptional. Ray kept us informed every step of the way and was always available when we needed to talk something through. His communication was clear, very honest and reassuring, which made a real difference during the more stressful moments. We also really valued Ray’s knowledge of the market and his experience when it came to negotiating. Whenever an issue arose, he stayed calm, worked through it and kept looking for a solution rather than allowing it to become a setback. What stood out most to us was how personally invested Ray was in achieving a good outcome for us. We never felt like we were just another listing. He was professional, persistent, approachable and genuinely cared about getting the sale across the line. We are very grateful for everything Ray did for us and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who will work hard, communicate well and stay committed right through to the end.

This Team Went Above & Beyond!

This Team Went Above & Beyond!

Ray and his team truly raised the bar for what I expected from a Real Estate Agency. We had many hurdles in the sale of our property and the purchase of another, but the whole team was there to answer our questions and concerns, were always calm and helped us understand what was going on, but most importantly, they were solutions focused. Anytime something popped up, they were on top of it and worked out the best solution for our situation. I can't recommend Ray and his team highly enough and will never use another agent. Thanks Ray! It was a pleasure to watch you work.

2nd home that I have sold through RW with Ben as my agent.

Ben has an intimate knowledge of the local market conditions and has made the process seamless and pain free. Very quick to respond to enquiries and very professional in his approach and communications.

Excellent result from a professional and committed team

Excellent result from a professional and committed team

Ray Murphy, Ben Keene and the Ray White Cairns team did an excellent job selling our investment property in Gordonvale. As interstate owners selling a tenanted property, we needed strong local knowledge, clear communication and a team capable of managing everything on the ground. Ray developed an effective campaign and used his market experience to generate a very good result. Ben was particularly hands-on and responsive throughout the process. He kept us informed, managed the buyer enquiries and contract process, and handled the building and pest negotiations calmly and professionally. When the buyers requested a price adjustment, Ben negotiated firmly, protected our position and kept the sale moving towards becoming unconditional. The wider team also handled the documentation and administration efficiently. We felt supported throughout and are very pleased with both the service and the outcome. We would happily recommend Ray, Ben and the Ray White Cairns team to anyone selling in Gordonvale or the wider Cairns region.
