Executive chairman and CEO of Raine&Horne Angus Raine said Mr Worrad brings an exceptional record to the real estate firm.
“Steve contributed to the spectacular growth of the national property division of one of our competitors, where he worked closely with current Raine&Horne chief operating officer, Brian Reid,” Mr Raine said.
Mr Raine said he expected the firm's Queensland network to grow by 10 per cent before the start of 2014.
“Steve certainly adds to the strength of our corporate team, and will be instrumental in further expanding the reach of the Raine&Horne brand in Queensland”.
Mr Worrad said he was excited to be leading the network in a Queensland housing market that is currently offering great value.
“It’s fair to say that the Brisbane market hasn’t enjoyed a mini-boom like Sydney and Melbourne have over the last 15 months, although it proved the strongest performing capital city market last month,” he said.
“As a consequence, we believe that with a shortage of quality homes for sale we will see continued growth through to Christmas, with investors playing their part in pushing prices along, as Brisbane housing still represents excellent value and robust yields.”
