David Castro - Head Creative & Photographer
As a passionate photography enthusiast, David has creative insight and visions out of the ordinary.
Born and raised in the busy lifestyle of Bogota/Colombia, Dave now resides and works amidst Australian culture as a Canberra resident. David enjoys the diversity, beauty and contrast of both worlds. He began his career behind the lens as a marketing photographer, where he subsequently went on to work independently as a photographer in real estate throughout his working life. His curiosity and passion for real estate photography evolved and led him to join the team at Ray White Canberra in 2016.
Dave joined the Ray White Canberra marketing team as our videographer, photographer and all-round marketing guru. Every interaction with Dave leaves clients and colleagues with a lasting impression of true professionalism, attention to detail and a creative eye well beyond the industry standard. He prides himself on only the highest level of customer service, evident in the way he interacts with his clients and agents consistently to deliver an exceptional product to sellers.
When Dave is without a camera in hand (though very rarely) he is a true-born entrepreneur and adventurer, who is always looking for new challenges. Dave's true passion will always remain behind the lens, where he is appreciative of the subtle beauty and elegance of spaces, architectonic designs and nature itself. He is constantly developing new visual strategies on the search for the ''perfect shot".
About Ray White Canberra
Our approach to business is fairly basic: We do everything that we can to look after our team, and then make business decisions by considering what is best for the customer.
That simple approach has allowed us to scale from a tiny 3 person operation in Belconnen, to one of the industry’s most respected real estate operations in the country. Our team is bound by a collective ambition and taking extreme pride in the role we play in the transfer of home ownership.
By operating from two large offices in Canberra’s North & South, the Ray White Canberra team balances the service level and systems you would expect from the country's largest brand, with a highly localised approach that celebrates the unique identity of each suburb and location.
Within the real estate industry our sales team are famous for our expertise in Auction. We are most proud of our average bidders at Auction consistently exceeding the industry average, which allows us to create competition for our sellers and achieve higher prices. We don’t take this responsibility lightly, and train this art relentlessly combined with how to negotiate on the Auction floor. Want to know how to pick a good real estate agent? Ask them how they work with a single bidder at Auction and see how confident you are in their response.
Our rental team is known for respectfully walking the tightrope between maximising the return on investment for our landlords, and helping our tenants find a place to call home. We don’t leave customer satisfaction to chance, and monitor how happy our clients are on a daily basis. We value feedback, and act quickly to address any concerns.
Buyers can access our mortgage broking team led by Nitish Kumar. Like real estate agents, not all brokers are the same, and the Loanmarket Horizon team are at the top of the ladder for compliance and customer satisfaction.
Proudly founder led by Canberra locals Ben Faulks & Scott Jackson, and underpinned by more than 120 years of family ownership by the White Family, regardless of what your real estate needs might be, you are in safe hands with Ray White Canberra.
