The capability to become a next leader is reserved for a select few.

The journey to becoming a next leader is shaped by a pathway that fosters progress in an environment of ambition. Along the way, opportunities will arise that enable growth through education, knowledge, and advice. This journey offers a gateway to opportunities within our business, creating a platform of belief that empowers you to realise your ambitions.

We will share stories of ambition that inspire. Our framework is designed to build confidence in decision-making and provide structure around different forms of ownership, whether it be equity, shares, partnerships, or full ownership. Throughout this journey, we will explore key areas such as profitability, market share, brand awareness, recruitment, and, most importantly, leadership.

Balancing work, life and family as a business owner is sometimes difficult. However, the exhilaration I get from supporting our team to achieve more, both individually and collectively, is how I have found so much enjoyment from our business. Starting out as a successful salesperson, I had the opportunity to buy a small shareholding that has now increased and in doing so, I’ve learnt management and leadership skills to help me grow as a business owner to really run a successful but, as always, challenging.

We are committed to encouraging leaders within the real estate industry to join a peer group learning environment that empowers decision-making and supports their journey on the path to becoming a next leader.

Ray White launched in New Zealand in 1993 as part of the Ray White International group. Since then, our business has experienced exponential growth, driven by our commitment to educating and empowering the next generation of leaders. This ambition for leadership and growth has been pivotal in building a company that offers both challenging and economically rewarding opportunities, shaping our success today and into the future.

The Next Leader story is central to our success and is a key reason why we are the pre-eminent real estate business in New Zealand.

As part of the Next Leaders program, you will join a peer group of individuals who are eager to grow personally, seek education, and be empowered on a path toward business ownership. You will play a vital role in the continued momentum of the Ray White Group across New Zealand.

Ray White recognises hard work and provides an environment where you can develop, be identified for opportunities, and embark on a leadership journey that leads to business ownership.

While the path to success is clear, there are also various adjacent routes within Ray White that allow you to build confidence and develop the skills necessary to become a next leader.

Becoming a Next Leader is a privilege reserved for a select few. This journey is crafted through a pathway that fosters progress within an environment of ambition. As you embark on your Next Leaders journey, opportunities will arise that will enable you to grow through education, knowledge, and guidance. This journey offers a gateway to opportunities within our business, creating a platform of belief that empowers you to realise your ambitions.

We will inspire you with stories of ambition. Our framework is designed to enhance confidence in decision-making and provide a clear structure around various forms of ownership, including equity, shares, partnerships, and potentially full ownership. Throughout this journey, you will gain insights into profitability, market share, brand awareness, recruitment, and, most importantly, leadership.

We will feature guest presenters who will share their inspirational stories, aligning their journeys of success with the themes of leadership and relevance.

Brand Awareness

Ray White has proudly been part of the New Zealand real estate industry since 1993. Initially, we were known as United Realty; in 1997, our brand evolved to Ray White United, combining both identities. By late 1998, we fully transitioned to the Ray White brand, recognised today as the preeminent name in real estate. Our consistent alignment with our core pillars—agency, property, and people—has provided the structure that defines our success. Through our comprehensive services in sales, property management, commercial, and rural sectors, Ray White has established itself as an effective market leader across New Zealand.
