Chantel brings more than a decade of industry experience across both residential and commercial real estate, with a strong reputation for professionalism, precision, and performance in the auction arena.
Her appointment reflects Ray White Buderim’s continued investment in elite talent to support its expanding auction platform and growing client demand.
As part of her appointment, Chantel will operate across the Ray White Buderim and Ray White Maroochydore offices, which together form part of the Ray White Coastal Living Network covering the Sunshine Coast.
Principal Dan Sowden said the appointment aligns directly with the group’s long-term auction strategy.
“The appointment of Chantel to our team supports our ambition to conduct over 500 property auctions each year, ensuring we maintain a leading position in the auction space,” Mr Sowden said.
“Having highly trained auctioneers who are also selling agents provides our clients with an unparalleled level of sophistication and experience throughout the entire sales process.”
Chantel said the people and culture within the business were key factors in her decision to join the group.
“What attracted me to Ray White was the people first and foremost. The culture, particularly around auctions, is exceptional, with a genuine commitment to excellence, growth and collaboration,” she said.
“It’s an environment where I can continue to grow, contribute at a high level, and be surrounded by people who want to see others succeed.”
Performance and operations manager Brittany May said Chantel’s appointment would have an immediate impact across both offices.
“Chantel brings a depth of experience that strengthens our collective knowledge and elevates our auction capability across both offices,” Ms May said.
“It’s also incredibly positive to have a female auctioneer within our network. Representation matters, and Chantel provides a visible example of what is possible for women entering and progressing within real estate.”
Chantel’s dual capability as both a selling agent and auctioneer allows for a seamless and highly skilled client experience, from campaign strategy through to auction execution.
Her depth of market knowledge and calm authority under pressure make her a valuable addition to the Coastal Living Network’s auctioneering bench.
Ray White Buderim and Ray White Maroochydore continue to expand their auction capability as part of a broader commitment to innovation, performance, and delivering best-in-market outcomes for property owners across the Sunshine Coast.
