“Christine Rudolph has been a respected ambassador of our family business for the past decade. Her values are aligned with our commitment to serving our Ray White customers with integrity and care. Our family is grateful to recognise Christine as being consistently one of our top 2% of agents internationally.”

Brian White AO,
Chairman Ray White Group

When it comes to selling a property, Christine Rudolph understands that this is often one of the biggest decisions most sellers ever make in their lives. Often, it is the sale of a much loved family home which has been cherished for many decades.

It is the committed great care that Christine takes in gently guiding her clients on this journey, which has earned her the trust of many high profile clients who have placed the sale of their most valuable and cherished asset into her care.

Empathetic, warm and approachable, her clients receive a high level of attention, care, reassurance and communication, directly from Christine, right from the very early planning stages, through to the launch of their home to the market. She understands that this is a process requiring time, planning and patience to make sure that every effort is taken to maximise the value of their property.

What sets her apart is the time that she is able to dedicate to her clients, focussing purely on their homes and being able to attend every open home, to personally liase with buyers and provide direct follow up to her sellers. Choosing to selectively sell a small portfolio of properties at any given time, gives Christine's clients the certainty of receiving a high level of attention, personalised service and constant communication.

Over the past decade, Christine has transacted some of Brisbane's most luxurious properties, achieving suburb records for her high profile clientele across Brisbane's inner city prestige market.

Understanding the importance of working with a team of professionals, her clients also receive a dedicated concierge service from both her Operations Manager Rochelle Ferraro co-ordinating the styling, marketing and administration requirements of the sale and Sales Associate Grace Scammells, who assists at all open homes.

The team brings a very supportive approach to their clients, understanding that the sale of a home is one of the most important financial transactions most sellers ever make, with many of Christine's clients having owned their homes for many decades. They aim to make the experience both an enjoyable and smooth transition from listing to selling.

Christine's transition into real estate in her 40's was quite accidental.

"I never expected to enter into real estate, having started a career in the media as a television journalist, followed by a decade with an international airline."

"It was my own personal experiences as a seller of my own properties as well as helping Mum when she became a widow having to sell the family farm, which made me consider entering the industry."

"These were really stressful times, in my own case, I had a sick husband who could not work and we had to sell all of our properties which we had worked really hard to buy in our early 30's but got caught out by high interest rates and one income, so it was a tough time. I found at that time, I really needed an agent who was going to be there for me, be able to help during a stressful time and provide solutions and reassurance."

"Also, my turning point was when Dad died suddenly leaving Mum a widow with a big house of 30 years to sell and downsize. Going through these situations really helps to understand exactly what your clients are going through and it was my experience that many agents were purely transaction and lacked the empathy needed during these difficult times."

"It was these experiences which made me decide to go into real estate to give to my own clients, the level of service and care that I expected during those really difficult times. I find that most of my clients are going through a really big transition when they sell, such as downsizing, relocating and sometimes really stressful situations such as illness or losing a family member. It is an absolute privilege to be placed in such a position of trust to help them."

Christine enjoys the international support and exposure of the respected family owned Ray White Group, while at the same time, is able to provide through her team, a boutique and bespoke service to each of her clients. She tailors every sale campaign to provide the best possible marketing, high service standards and tenacious negotiations to optimise the sale price.

In addition to serving her clients Christine is extremely passionate about giving back to others. She is on the founding forum of one of the Ray White Group's most successful international mentoring initiatives for women in business Ray White Leading Ladies and a supporter of many local charities.
