Lawyer and entrepreneur Peter Maatouk has launched Raine & Horne Narellan in the heart of Sydney’s Macarthur region.
Mr Maatouk, who is the principal of Maatouks Law Group that has offices in Narellan, Liverpool, and Penrith, has been delivering general practice and property law services since 1993. The firm launched a mortgaging broking business in 2000 and Maatouks Realty in 2007.
“As we were already delivering conveyancing and mortgage broking services, opening a real estate business in 2007 made sense. Our conveyancing and broking experience gave us the confidence that we could list and sell real estate,” said Mr Maatouk.
“We are very familiar with property law, conveyancing and how the lenders work. This means that if someone is buying a house, they are never operating in the dark if they choose to work with Raine & Horne Narellan.”
A father of seven, Mr Maatouk, who lived in Narellan for 13 years, recently moved back to the suburb after a short stint in Merrylands. His offspring are attending local schools, and the soccer fanatic plans to support some of Narellan’s community and sporting associations.
“We want to continue to serve the Narellan community. We live, work and play locally, and that is a major point of difference for Raine & Horne Narellan.”
The combination of its flat executive structure with its deep brand awareness convinced Mr Maatouk to join Raine & Horne.
“Raine & Horne is a fantastic Australian company that supports its franchisees and I believe it will help me grow my real estate business in the decades ahead.”
Mr Maatouk said he would have no problems combining his legal and real estate interests. “I have the staff and systems in place to manage all the businesses,” he said.
Launching a real estate office Narellan is a strategic imperative for Raine & Horne, according to Angus Raine.
“Narellan is crucial to the growth of southwestern Sydney as a residential market behemoth, and Peter and his team at Raine & Horne Narellan will ensure we deliver our unique levels of real estate services and customer care,” said Mr Raine.
“In Narellan it is still possible to buy affordable, brand-new homes for $750,000 on a decent sized block of land, which is great news for first home buyers.
“The fresh air, excellent community spirit and the wider open spaces is a major attraction for first home buyers and even upgraders from other parts of Sydney moving there to buy bigger homes.”
