Give and you shall receive, so the saying goes and that has certainly been the case for the team at the Stratford office of McDonald Real Estate.
Their strong company philosophy of giving back which sees them volunteer their time to charitable groups as well as supporting local clubs and initiatives, led to them being presented with the Outstanding Office Award at the biennial Taranaki McDonald Real Estate Awards. This award recognises a number of qualities including profitability, customer care and community service, says Daniel McDonald, general manager of McDonald Real Estate.
"Within the Stratford office we have agents involved in 23 different trusts and organisations, which is an outstanding effort," says Daniel. He adds the Stratford office also contributed to more than 40 sports clubs and organisations over the past two years.
"As a company we are always looking at ways to become more engaged with the community and it is great to see the Stratford team leading the charge with their local community."
While the Stratford office took home the outstanding office award, it was Inglewood based Linda McIntyre who was named Overall Top Agent.
