Realtors start new business in Summerland Point and Charmhaven

Real estate experts Kurt Bratby and Sean Pratt have opened the doors to their new Ray White Summerland Point / Charmhaven office. 

This move marks a significant step forward for the duo, who have long harboured the ambition of running their own real estate business.

Kurt Bratby, who began his career in real estate in 2011, spent his initial two years in sales support before transitioning into sales and management.

“Starting in sales gave me a strong foundation, but moving into management was a natural progression,” he said.

“Owning my own business has been a dream for a while, and joining Ray White felt like the perfect opportunity to make that dream a reality.” 

Sean Pratt’s entry into real estate started at just 16 years old in 2015, and he quickly made his mark after being offered a job following only one week of work experience.

“I left school to dive into real estate full-time, and I’ve never looked back,” he said.

“Working alongside Kurt has been an incredible journey. We’ve been a team throughout my entire career, and now we’re thrilled to bring that synergy to our own office.”

The decision to partner with Ray White was straightforward for Bratby and Pratt.

“When we met with the corporate team, it was clear that Ray White offers unmatched support and resources,” Bratby said.

And Pratt said the opportunity to connect with the Ray White office in Gorokan solidified their decision.

Bratby and Pratt have set up business in Summerland Point on the shores of Lake Macquarie.

“Summerland Point has evolved from a holiday hometown in the 1980s, to a thriving lifestyle destination for commuters and families,” Bratby said.

“With the construction of a new 600-house estate underway and luxury waterfront properties, it’s a beautiful family area with a strong sense of community.

“The nearby suburb of Charmhaven is more established and provides a solid base as it is conveniently close to Wyong and has a more established feel, where we are looking forward to continuing servicing the region.”

Joining Bratby and Pratt at the new office are James McGuire, a dedicated sales associate, and Kay Saunderson, an established local agent bringing valuable insights.

Eve Muscat is the operations manager overseeing the day-to-day operations.

In their first year, Bratby and Pratt aim to establish a solid presence in the region.

“Our goals are to build a robust team, capture significant market share, and develop a comprehensive property management service,” Pratt said.

“We want to become a trusted name in the community and showcase what makes Ray White Summerland Point / Charmhaven stand out from the rest.”
