Richardson & Wrench has appointed a National Growth Manager to drive the expansion of the R&W group in metropolitan and regional NSW and Queensland.
Chris Scerri joins the network with an 11 – year background in real estate across residential sales, commercial sales, leasing, auctions and franchise recruitment.
Mr Scerri began his real estate career on the Central Coast in 2003 before moving to Sydney in 2009 to seek further challenges within the pressure cooker Sydney market. Through this background and from his activity as an accomplished auctioneer, Chris has an extensive knowledge of all major markets within R&W’s footprint.
R&W Managing Director Andrew Cocks said Mr Scerri’s appointment came at a time when real estate professionals were focussing on the increasing challenges in commencing and running a modern real estate business.
“Chris has the experience and skills to play an important role in communicating the brand values and benefits and opportunities of the Richardson & Wrench network,” said Mr Cocks.
“The past four to five years have seen significant price growth in many of our core markets but with much lower listing volumes than historic levels. This, along with continuously increasing overheads, has seen real pressure on profits for many operators, leading them to review the commercial structure, service and value of their franchise arrangements.
“Now, with the market showing undeniable signs of slowing, any astute business owner will be reviewing their business plan and looking for ways to ensure they are getting value for money.”
