Ms Jeans’ decision to rejoin the company follows a stint of business ownership and consulting, during which she gained invaluable insight into franchise value offerings and the dynamics of leadership within the industry.
Having undertaken a deep exploration of franchise models and business operations during her time as a business owner and consultant, she reaffirmed Ray White as the leading franchise group in the industry.
Her return was driven by three key factors: the leadership of Ray White Victoria & Tasmania CEO Domenic Belfiore, plus the group’s continual reinvestment in its people and technology, and her personal passion for fostering a strong culture within the network.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Dom before, and his leadership continues to be one of the strongest in the industry,” Ms Jeans said.
“Dom’s unwavering focus on performance and his ability to elevate his team and the entire network strongly resonate with my own values.
“When he first approached me about the opportunity to return to Ray White as Head of People for Victoria, I was immediately excited by the role and the idea of working together again.
“To put it simply, it feels like coming home.”
Ray White’s investment in technology and its people, spearheaded by Dan White and the White family, also played a critical role in her decision to return.
“Ray White is the strongest franchise group in real estate today,” Mr White said.
“The investment made back into the company, particularly in terms of technology and infrastructure, ensures that business owners and agents alike have the tools they need to succeed and continue to grow.
“Time after time, my clients recognised the distinct advantages Ray White offered, and there simply was no comparison.”
In her new role, she will focus on enhancing the network’s culture of recognition and performance with both new and existing customers, ensuring that the outstanding talent within Ray White is nurtured and supported.
“My passion is driven from working with good people and building strong relationships,” Ms Jeans said.
“I’m excited to take the lead in this new initiative with Dom and the corporate team to ensure that the exceptional professionals within Ray White continue to feel valued and motivated to deliver their best as we continue to raise the bar.”
Ms Jeans’ return signifies a pivotal move for Ray White’s Victoria team as the corporate group further enhances its legacy of success and leadership in the real estate industry.
Her expertise and passion for fostering relationships will add another crucial layer to the strategy of creating the best environment for success and growth, ensuring that all agents have the support they need to thrive.
