Former Mayor of Lower Hutt, Ray Wallace, will join the high-performing Lower Hutt Real Estate firm Ray White Kemeys Brothers after a successful 25-year career in Local Government.
While Mayor for nine years, Lower Hutt went through the biggest rejuvenation in the city’s history with the largest number of new housing developments, so it is a natural transition for Mr Wallace to move into the real estate industry.
He will join his wife Linda Goss-Wallace, already working for Kemeys Brothers, and they will be a dynamic husband and wife team emulating the success they had as Mayor and Mayoress.
Mr Wallace is community-focused and dedicated to quality service. The wealth of experience in Local Government means he has great people and negotiating skills and has a sound knowledge of the building and real estate market.
Being active in the community for over 30 years, Mr Wallace has built strong relationships while holding numerous management roles in community groups, sports and cultural organisations.
Mr Wallace’s networks are extensive. He is still highly active in the community and retains his role as Vice President of Sister Cities New Zealand and is the Chairman of the Hutt Minoh Trust, which recently celebrated its 25-year Sister City Anniversary.
Mr Wallace will bring drive, energy, passion, and commitment to his new role at Ray White Kemeys Brothers.
“I’m extremely excited about joining such a dynamic team and I look forward to being of further service to the people in our community,” Mr Wallace said.
“I’m honoured to have both Ray and Linda working for us, they made a great team while running the city, and I’m in no doubt they’ll achieve just as much in the real estate industry,” said Ray White Kemeys Brothers Managing Director Rupert Kemeys.
“Ray has been such a popular figure in Lower Hutt for the past decade, so I’m humbled that he picked our real estate company to start his real estate career.”
