Ray White Northern Beaches expands with ninth office

David Walker and Charles Caravousanos have expanded their footprint on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, acquiring Hunter Estate Agents in Elanora Heights.

The powerhouse duo own Ray White’s top performing office group in Australasia, Ray White Upper North Shore and Northern Beaches.

Since launching on the Northern Beaches in July 2024, with offices in Manly and Mona Vale, the business has exceeded all expectations, selling almost $44 million worth of properties from 19 sales along Sydney’s famous coastline.

This third office in Elanora Heights is strategically positioned between Mona Vale and Manly, giving the group a dominant presence across the entire peninsula.

Duane Hunter, owner of Hunter Estate Agents has stayed on as key sales agent, along with his entire team.

“I established my business 15 years ago, and we’ve grown into a trusted name in the local market,” Mr Hunter said.

“Our focus has always been on community, market expertise, and achieving successful sales for our clients.

“Ray White’s advanced technology, training, and resources will help us elevate our services, ultimately giving my vendors and landlords a higher level of service than ever before.

“We’re excited to work alongside Charles and David, given their success in developing a high-performing team at Ray White Upper North Shore and Northern Beaches yet retaining a close knit, fun and respectful culture.”

Charles Caravousanos welcomed the addition of Duane and his team to the Ray White Northern Beaches family.

“We are excited to continue building our presence across the Northern Beaches, and adding this ninth office in Elanora Heights complements our existing locations to fully service the Northern Beaches real estate market,” Mr Caravousanos said.

“With the size of our business across the Upper North Shore and Northern Beaches, we have immense power to offer vendors connections between these key luxury markets where buyers are coming from.”

David Walker said he was excited to bring the team into the group.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Duane and his team under the Ray White banner,” Mr Walker said.

“Duane’s business culture aligns closely with ours – built on respect, a high-performing team, and a strong sense of family.”
