32 International Communicator 2025 Small town achieves mighty result for Raine & Horne Dargaville Located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island, sits the charming riverside town of Dargaville. Renowned for its community spirit and sweeping rural landscapes, it now has at its core a standout real estate success story. Raine & Horne Dargaville is led by franchisee Mark Owners and his dynamic salespeople, Rhonda Bradley and Teena Johnson. Step inside their main street office and you’ll quickly realise it’s far from the ordinary. Beyond the window displays of local properties lies a welcoming boutique café. A true meeting place for locals, and just a few steps further inside, you will find a beautiful art gallery showcasing a collection of inspiring works. Mark has intentionally created a space that’s as much a community hub as it is a real estate office, blending business, creativity, and connection under one roof. On 30 October, Mark and Rhonda achieved what can only be described as the sale of a lifetime and a record for the region, with the remarkable coastal property selling close to its $4.9 million asking price. The impressive architecturally designed home sits high above Ripiro Beach, and its highlight features include a private helicopter pad and spectacular ocean views. This highly sought-after property offers the ultimate in “fly-in, fly-out” luxury living, or alternatively, is a dream residence for a busy executive seeking peace, privacy, and space. For Mark and Rhonda, achieving this milestone is more than just a sale, it’s a statement. Their team might be small, but their results are mighty. With heart, hustle, and deep community roots, Raine & Horne Dargaville continues to prove that in real estate, passion and people matter just as much as properties.
