For Elliott Placks, Managing Director of Ray White Double Bay, this is more than a business decision; it’s the coming together of long-standing relationships built on trust.
“I’ve known Julie and Danny for more than 20 years, and we share very similar values,” Elliott said. “That alignment is vital when bringing two strong businesses together.”
Julie, who has been in Real Estate for over 30 years, said the move felt like a natural homecoming.
“I actually began my career at Ray White Double Bay, so if we were ever going to merge with another office, it would only be with them,” she said. “After 27 years of running my own business, the timing felt right to combine forces. For our clients, this means the best of both worlds: experience, technology, and a team built on integrity.”
The benefits for clients are clear. With Julie’s team integrating into Ray White Double Bay’s already strong Property Management division, landlords and tenants will enjoy even more support, resources, and a seamless experience.
“Our governance, highly skilled operations staff, and advanced technology platforms ensure every client is well looked after,” Elliott said.
For Danny Taylor, the move is about aligning with a culture that aligns with his own ambitions.
“Ray White Double Bay represents the perfect balance of scale, culture, and opportunity,” Danny said. “What stood out to me was the synergy with Elliott and the culture he’s built, a high-performing yet supportive environment. By joining this team, I can deliver even greater value and results for my clients.”
Elliott said welcoming both Julie and Danny marks an exciting new chapter for the business.
“Julie returns to where her career began, bringing incredible expertise in Property Management, while Danny joins with over 15 years of sales success and a loyal client base,” he said. “Together, with the strength of our systems and leadership, we’re confident we can deliver the very best customer experience.”
For Julie Feller the move was like a home-coming.
“I have been in real estate for 32 years and started my career at Ray White Double Bay actually. If we were going to merge with any office, it would only be Ray White Double Bay. We respect and admire their business ethic and are aligned on so many levels in the way we operate and conduct ourselves in the industry,” she said.
“The merger will be a great opportunity for us to further improve and elevate our skill set after we implement what we learn and see and as well we look forward to sharing our wealth of knowledge with the team as when required.”
Ray White Double Bay leads the way in implementing and using the latest technology and providing the greatest resources available for clients to benefit. The significant volume of business assists in the teams being able to offer a second to none, comprehensive and first class service whereby all clients will no doubt benefit.
This merger positions Ray White Double Bay with one of the largest and most experienced sales and Property Management teams in Sydney, ensuring clients continue to receive exceptional service, backed by the strength of the Ray White brand.
