Holmes leads commercial way

AS predicted, another Ray White Ballarat agent has reached Premier status within the company’s benchmarking process.

This time Tracey Holmes, the city’s only female specialist commercial real estate agent, has achieved the milestone for the second time in her career.

“It’s just really nice to be acknowledged in Ray White,” she said. “It’s means a lot to me just based on the number of transactions that I’ve been able to deliver on in this financial year.

“Having return clients coming back to me time and time again, and getting great feedback on our net promoter scores, I’m running at 100 per cent, that’s the benchmark for me.”

Ms Holmes works in both the sales and rental side of commercial real estate.

Before she became an agent she was a small business owner and says that gives her insight into all sides of the industry.

It’s the kind of vision that’s led to Ms Holmes involvement in the Ballarat Evolve project, part of which has seen her help place artists in unoccupied retail spaces in the Block Arcade.

“I think that sometimes artists are undervalued and I felt that that there’s a need in Ballarat to reinvigorate our central business district with service based offerings,” she said.

“It helps my landlords fill their space with shops that attract people, but then it also helps aspiring business people.”

Mr Holmes said her success at Ray White Ballarat wasn’t just down to her – colleagues and the company make it easy.

“One thing is how much I love the brand, and I love Ray White, and the people in this office,” she said. “I love the admin staff, the marketing staff and everyone that gets around us that makes me look good.”
