6 With Australian residential real estate reaching a staggering $AU10.1 trillion in total value, it is undeniable that property continues to serve as the cornerstone of the Australian economy. This has been true since the days of my great grandfather, Thomas Raine, who embarked on his business journey alongside his partner, Joseph Horne, when they launched Raine & Horne on 23 May 1883. I’m delighted that in March, we helped celebrate our 140th anniversary by extending our brand into New Zealand, where residential real estate clocked up a combined $NZ1.57 trillion in 2023. Our New Zealand expansion came after extensive consultations with real estate principals nationwide, revealing a solid desire to align with an alternative network. In just six short months, we successfully added an impressive 13 offices to our blossoming network in New Zealand, and there are plenty more exciting developments to look forward to in 2024. Our community giving efforts, driven by the Raine & Horne Foundation, actively supported local and international causes in 2023. In the past two years, the Raine & Horne Foundation has raised over $600,000 as a combined network effort to support a variety of community causes. A Message From Angus Raine
