Christopher O’Callaghan has been appointed to the role of senior property manager at Ray White Commercial NSW – Sydney City Fringe.

He will join department principals Kristian Morris and Justin Rose on the team.

Mr O’Callaghan said he aims to be the top property manager in the business in 10 years’ time.

“After studying ancient history at university, I went into the banking and financial services sector,” Mr O’Callaghan said.

“Looking for a change, I found commercial real estate to be both exciting and dynamic, and I've spent the last five years as a property manager.

“I heard Ray White was 'proud of every transaction' and that really appealed to me. I aim to exceed both the client's and my own expectations and treat even the smallest of transactions with as much respect as the high value ones.

“At first, I aim to fully understand my client's needs and their properties. In five years I want to be an advocate for great customer service and well respected in the wider team, and in 10 years, my goal is to be the best property manager in the business.”

Mr O’Callaghan said he had plenty of great memories throughout his career, but one particularly stood out.

“I once had a deceased client and I went out of my way to assist the family in dealing with the administrative nightmare that is a deceased estate,” he said.

“The family was so grateful for the hard yards I put in, we kept the management and the family gave us an additional two commercial properties to manage. We still meet up for coffee every now and then.”

Mr Morris and Mr Rose said they were thrilled to now have Mr O’Callaghan as part of the team.

“Recruitment is at the forefront of growing a business and we’re very pleased to have such an experienced operator in Chris joining our own little family,” Mr Morris said.

Mr Rose added: “It’s only been a short time but Chris has already hit the ground running and fits in perfectly with our Ray White ethics and values.”
