Over the past 14 years, Deanne played a pivotal role at REA Group where, as WA account partner, she established herself as a leading figure in the WA real estate industry.

Realmark Coastal director Sean Hughes said recruiting a professional of Deanne’s calibre was a massive coup that would pave the way for the team’s further expansion.

“Deanne has been a high achiever in the realestate.com.au ranks for a long period, has deep industry knowledge and expertise to offer our sales agents, our wider team and our valued clients,” stated Mr Hughes.

“She’s also a natural leader and mentor so we’re absolutely wrapped to have her on board. As we look to the future, it’s great for the company to continue to immerse itself with very high quality people in many different aspects.

“In particular, we know Deanne’s ability to forge strong connections and seek out fresh opportunities, as well as her know-how in harnessing the power of digital technology for real estate success, will be significant assets.”

Ms Arrigo said she was excited to launch this new phase of her career and be part of the enviable culture at Realmark Coastal.

“Throughout my time at REA Group, I was always impressed with Realmark Coastal; I admired their success and team vibe, and it was always a pleasure dealing with all of them, so taking on this role feels like a natural step,” she explained.

“I’m extremely eager to add to the high standing of Realmark Coastal and further grow its reputation as the leading place for agents to thrive, learn from the best in the business, and also have fun.”

Ms Arrigo said she was looking forward to helping the team’s agents embrace emerging digital marketing technologies.

“Agents are busy, especially our top performing agents, so taking that extra step and doing the groundwork for them allows them to more readily adopt digital technologies that can deliver their clients better results and help them work smarter,” she said.
