Justin Gay, Principal of Ray White Goulburn, is proud to announce the opening of Ray White Rural Crookwell, a momentous step in his real estate journey and a return to his roots.
Born and raised in Crookwell, Justin brings over two decades of real estate experience and a deep commitment to his hometown. “I did work experience at Ray White Goulburn in 1999 when I was 14,” Justin fondly recalls. “Even though I explored other paths, real estate has always been in my heart. Establishing our presence here feels like coming full circle.”
Raised by his grandparents in Crookwell, Justin’s connection to the town runs deep. “I never lost my bond with Crookwell; my heart and soul are forever tied to this community. Buying a farm here was always a dream of mine, and now it’s come true,” he shares.
Justin’s real estate career started early, working weekends while still in school, and he acquired Ray White Goulburn in 2015. “It’s been nearly a decade of hard work and dedication,” he reflects. “Returning to Crookwell has always been my dream, and with the support of Ray White Rural and the local community, it’s now a reality.”
Crookwell, with its rich basalt farmland and stunning landscapes, holds a special place in Justin’s heart. “It’s a place where farming thrives, and the community of 3,000 residents has kept its small-town charm despite investment from Sydney over the years,” Justin explains. “It’s green and beautiful, with magic trees in autumn and even snow in winter. This community is truly special—tight-knit and supportive.”
Reflecting on his decision to expand, Justin highlights the importance of family and community. “Ray White Rural feels like family; it’s not just about business but about honouring those who have supported me and giving back to the community that means so much.”
The new Crookwell office marks a significant moment for Justin, his wife Loren, and their three children. “Turning 40 recently, it felt like the perfect time to return to where it all began,” Justin says. “With our new office, we aim to uphold Ray White’s legacy of excellence while embracing the unique opportunities Crookwell offers.”
Under Justin’s leadership, Ray White Goulburn has grown to a team of 23, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to professionalism and community spirit. “We’re excited to bring our expertise to Crookwell and contribute to its thriving real estate market,” Justin concludes. “It’s an honour to continue building on our legacy in this beautiful region.”
Ray White Rural CEO, Stephen Nell, praised Justin as an exemplary leader within the network. “Justin is loved and respected by his peers, and I have no doubt that he and his team will provide top-tier service to the Crookwell community, backed by Australasia’s largest real estate group,” he said.
