FORMER Ray White rural agent Josh Keefe has launched a new specialised rural real estate agency.
Agri Rural NSW will have locations in Sydney and regional NSW, hoping to better connect a large segment of their buyer demographic – metropolitan purchasers – to rural property.
The agency will look to secure large-scale corporate investment opportunities and mixed farming opportunities for both city and regional-based purchasers for expansion or diversification. Lifestyle properties are also in hot demand for relocating purchasers, Keefe said.
It will be partnered with international agents, based in Sydney, and also plans to offer a specific buyer agency service.
“As well as representing vendors by bringing their property to the market, I have also noticed a specific need for purchasing advice and advisory within the rural market. A large portion of purchasers have an interest to secure rural property, but not the knowhow, nor the buying experience to properly secure property at the right price with the right strategy,” Keefe said.
Keefe says he has been responsible for over $440 million in recent property sales.
