AGENTS Raine & Horne Toowoomba has launched under the leadership of local real estate identities and Raine & Horne alumni Chris Shine and Justine Dill.
“Having over ten years in real estate, Chris and Justine, who started their careers with Raine & Horne in Toowoomba, are returning to their origins while also bringing a wealth of experience and a commitment to service excellence,” Angus Raine, executive chairman of Raine & Horne said.
Dill began her journey with Raine & Horne in Toowoomba in 2012, and was named Raine & Horne’s Rookie Agent of the Year in Queensland and nationally during her first year. Shine, after joining the Toowoomba business in 2014, later partnered with Dill to form a successful sales team that earned numerous accolades, including being rated as the best agent by Rate My Agent in Toowoomba for three consecutive years.
Both Shine and Dill worked with different brands after leaving Raine & Horne in 2017.
The decision to return to Raine & Horne came as a natural progression in their careers.
“We’ve reached a level in our careers with other experiences and other agencies where we just felt that we needed to do our own thing just to round it out,” Shine said.
“The fact that we’re coming back now to Raine & Horne has a nice synergy, and we feel like we’re coming home.”
Shine said the Toowoomba market is “robust, with a shortage of housing stock and population growth driving prices upwards, while February and March are always strong months for real estate activity in Toowoomba”.
Shine and Dill plan on announcing the recruitment of several high-calibre sales agents and expanding into property management and rural sales.
“We aim to engage a rural sales agent to expand our reach into lifestyle and farming areas of Toowoomba that have not been previously covered. Additionally, we are keen on leveraging Amplify and its social media capabilities to their fullest extent, ensuring we maximise our impact within the town,” Shine said.
