Careers in Real Estate

Ray White Katikati is building a locally led real estate business founded on trusted advice, strong relationships, professional standards and genuine commitment to the Katikati community.

Led by Grace Anderson and David Sylvester, our office combines proven local sales experience with experienced leadership, marketing strategy, negotiation and the technology, training and buyer reach of the wider Ray White network.

Whether you are an established real estate salesperson considering your next move or exploring how to begin a career in real estate, we welcome a confidential conversation.

Local leadership with wider support

Grace Anderson brings more than a decade of real estate experience, more than 200 career sales and an established record across residential, lifestyle and auction property in Katikati and the wider Western Bay of Plenty.

David Sylvester brings more than 25 years of real estate experience, including approximately 15 years in sales leadership and coaching. His experience spans property sales, business growth, campaign strategy, marketing and negotiation.

Together, Grace and David are developing a business where people are supported to build strong professional reputations, provide an excellent client experience and establish sustainable long-term careers.

What we value

  • Integrity and professional judgement
  • Genuine care for clients and the local community
  • Clear, consistent communication
  • Personal accountability and reliable follow-through
  • A willingness to learn and use modern real estate technology
  • Respect for colleagues, clients and competing agents
  • The energy and discipline required to build lasting relationships

Experience is valuable, but attitude, character and commitment matter just as much.

For experienced real estate salespeople

If you are already working in real estate, joining Ray White Katikati offers the opportunity to grow your business within a locally led office supported by an established national and international real estate network.

Our approach brings together local market knowledge, strategic property marketing, auction capability, buyer engagement, database technology and experienced leadership. We want our salespeople to have the support and systems needed to spend more time building relationships, providing sound advice and creating strong property campaigns.

Any discussion about joining the business will be handled discreetly and confidentially.

Starting a career in real estate

A successful real estate career requires more than enthusiasm for property. It involves prospecting, relationship building, market research, negotiation, administration, legal obligations, ongoing learning and consistent follow-up.

If you are considering entering the industry, we can talk openly about the realities of the role, the attributes that support success and the steps required to become licensed.

Before undertaking real estate agency work in New Zealand, you must hold the appropriate licence issued by the Real Estate Authority. Information about qualifications, eligibility and the licensing process is available from the Real Estate Authority.

Technology, marketing and professional development

Ray White Katikati salespeople can benefit from the systems, marketing resources, property platforms, training and professional connections available through the wider Ray White network.

Technology is most valuable when it helps people provide better service. We encourage disciplined database management, useful follow-up, informed buyer matching, clear vendor reporting and marketing that presents each property accurately and effectively.

Build a career connected to Katikati

Katikati and the wider Western Bay of Plenty offer a varied property market that includes residential homes, sections, lifestyle property, investment property and distinctive rural and horticultural opportunities.

Building a successful career here requires an understanding of the community, the different property types and the people who choose to call the area home. We are looking for people who want to become trusted local professionals rather than simply complete transactions.
