Licensed Agent ACT & NSW

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.

Right from the start he helped us present the property in a way that set us up to do well, marketing was great, problem solving on the run, high integrity, and puts in the hours to make sure nothing is left to chance. Highly recommended.

Rod And Judy Roberts

Mark is a highly experienced agent who really understands the Canberra market. He attended every presale appointment and made sure my listing stood out from the rest. He diligently followed up with potential buyers and helped me secure the best possible price. When you choose Mark, you choose experience.

Mark and the Ray White team were an absolute pleasure to work with. 
In our initial meeting with Mark, he clearly outlined the processes involved in selling our property. He gave us specific and achievable advice on what changes to make to our property that would enhance saleability. He also advised on aspects we were considering that he didn’t feel were worth the investment. Both aspects were greatly appreciated as it allowed us to improve the property in the best ways possible. He recommended various trades, legal, and other services that we utilised that were excellent. 
The campaign was professional and elegant. Mark has a very personable approach that we as sellers found engaging and accessible. He provided regular updates throughout the process through various communications methods and worked with us and our purchasers to secure the property. 
The Ray White team were very supportive and informative throughout the process in all aspects.
Mark and the Ray White Belconnen team are highly recommended for your property sales.

Mark Johnstone made selling our home a pleasure. His knowledge and advise of the market and process of selling by auction was excellent. His ongoing communication to keep us abreast of it all was brilliant. Our excellent result was a direct reflection of Mark’s ability.

Mark has a very good knowledge of the Canberra market. He was always quick to respond to any inquiries and went above and beyond to keep potential buyers interested.

We appreciated Mark's experience with sales, his thoroughness in contacting all potential buyers who inspected our property, and his detailed reports. Most of all, we appreciated Mark's quick thinking and ability to change tack in the sale process in response to quickly changing circumstances.

Mark was thoroughly professional from my first contact with him all the way through to the auction. I accepted every recommendation he made, and I achieved an excellent result with minimal stress. I could also see that Mark was courteous and professional with prospective buyers. And completely ethical. So, if you are buying or selling, Mark can be trusted. He is very experienced and knowledgeable.

This property, a rare gem nestled in the heart of Hall, presents endless opportunities for those seeking an idyllic lifestyle, a sound investment, or the perfect blend of both. Whether you're drawn to the charm of a historic cottage, the potential with a thriving business, or the allure of a spacious corner block, this property has something truly special to offer.

Hall, a historic village with a rich past, was proclaimed in 1882. The house at 33 Victoria St, a testament to timeless architecture, was built circa 1919. Over the decades, the home has undergone a series of sympathetic additions and changes, seamlessly blending the classic style of the early and mid-1900s with the comforts of modern living.

The current owners, who purchased the property in 1987, embarked on a loving restoration of the cottage, breathing new life into its historic walls. They have cherished memories of raising their family in this idyllic setting, where the village lifestyle offers a unique blend of tranquility and community.
Imagine bush walks and rides amidst nature's beauty, encounters with native wildlife, and the vibrant energy of the local showground and sports field. Picture yourself becoming part of the close-knit community, where the spirit of camaraderie thrives and the charm of historic local shops adds a touch of nostalgia.

Positioned on a sprawling corner block of 2,027m2 and enveloped by mature trees and  gardens, the cottage exudes classic street appeal. Stepping inside is like taking a journey back in time; the warmth and character of the bygone era are immediately apparent. As you explore further, the different time periods of the home's history and evolution unfold, revealing a tapestry of stories etched into its walls.

In 1996, the owners expanded the property's potential by constructing the existing commercial building which still currently operates as a fully functional Veterinary Practice. This addition, with frontage to Hoskins St, is thoughtfully segregated from the cottage, ensuring privacy and independence.

The Veterinary Practice has been a successful tenant for many years and currently holds a lease with 7.5 years remaining on a 5+5+5 year term. This presents a fantastic opportunity for investors, providing a reliable income stream while you plan for the property's future. Detailed information about rental returns and specific lease arrangements is readily available upon request.

For those seeking a balanced lifestyle, the property offers the flexibility to reside in the charming cottage while enjoying the benefits of a commercial tenant. Alternatively, you could explore the option of leasing out the cottage as well, maximizing your investment potential.

This rare opportunity opens doors to a multitude of possibilities. Contact Mark Johnstone today to embark on your journey towards owning this exceptional property. Alternatively, mark your calendar for our next open exhibition and experience the magic of this unique offering firsthand.
