Raine & Horne has scored a major commercial coup with the recruitment of Alvie Lin to the 135-year-old network.
โAlvie has an enviable combination of international and local experience is residential property sales and property management, as well as retail property, office building, shopping centres, commercial property sectors,โ said Angus Raine, Executive Chairman, Raine & Horne.
โAlso fluent in English and Chinese languages, Alvie understands the differences between the Western and Chinese cultures and her excellent negotiation skills can bridge the cultural gaps and deliver favourable outcomes for owners and buyers.โ
Ms Linโs accounting background was obvious to Raine & Horneโs management when her application to join the group arrived.
โAlvie has a business degree majoring in accounting, so itโs no surprise that her business plan was one of the most comprehensive I have encountered in my 22 years as a director of Raine & Horne,โ Mr Raine said.
โSignificantly Alvieโs family operated a real estate office in Brisbane. So, itโs fair to say that real estate courses through Alvieโs blood. These familial ties are very valuable when you choose real estate sales as a career.โ
Ms Lin, added, โI love real estate and helping people, which is the perfect mix for a sales agent.โ
In addition to establishing Raine & Horne Broadway, Ms Lin is launching Raine & Horne Major Acquisitions, which aims to match Asian and local private and corporate buyers with significant commercial buildings and development sites all across Sydney.
โI aim to source major transactional opportunities including landmark buildings and amalgamation of sites to present to local buyers and Chinese investors, institutions, and developers. I was remarkably impressed with Raine & Horneโs interest in doing business with China.โ
Ms Lin added, โThe Chinese private and institutional buyer market is still the biggest foreign buyer market for Australian properties, especially for high end Australian commercial real estate. We have big plans to service this high end market and the wider local market in Sydney.โ
