“I see the Professionals and the culture of that organisation as being a very good fit for our business. The name itself reflects how we run our business and the culture of the entire Professionals organisation aligns perfectly with that of our team.”
The Professionals Orange team will comprise of the office's existing nine staff who look after property sales, management, administration and support.
“The only thing that will change here is the name, everything else is the same; the same professional people, the same professional level of service, the same quality of outcome,” said Mr Cutcliffe.
“We've always held a very strong position in the Orange market and we've certainly established a reputation for selling many of the high-end homes in town… we like to think we do our job better than everyone else and we go to the nth degree to get best outcomes for people.
