Joshua Bagley, principal of Ray White Strathalbyn, has expanded his presence in South Australia by taking the reins of Ray White Murray Bridge from Donna and Richard Ytsma.
The merger brings together two successful Ray White offices under Mr Bagley’s leadership, who has been operating the Strathalbyn business since 2022.
The Ytsmas will continue their involvement in the business, stepping back from ownership to focus entirely on serving their clients in property sales.
“By joining forces, we are opening up an opportunity to collaborate in the regional property space, waterfront holiday homes, and the significant lifestyle acreage properties between the two offices,” Mr Bagley said.
“With the broader reach, our clients will get the resources and expertise of both offices.”
The integration maintains continuity with the existing Ray White Murray Bridge property management and administration team remaining in place.
Ms Ytsma, who reached the group’s Premier recognition level in 2023-24 and won the Clients’ Choice award, expressed enthusiasm about the merger.
“This collaboration will create incredible opportunities for growth, enabling both teams to deliver an even higher level of success and service to our valued clients across the region,” Ms Ytsma said.
Ray White South Australia | Northern Territory CEO Matthew Lindblom welcomed the strategic move.
“Joshua’s proven track record makes him the ideal person to take the reins at Ray White Murray Bridge, building on the incredible legacy of the Ytsmas,” Mr Lindblom said.
“Combining the strengths of the Murray Bridge and Strathalbyn offices creates a powerhouse team, with unmatched expertise and resources to serve their customers.”
