Geoff Glanville, the founder of RAAS, started his Real Estate career in Queensland in 1970. Geoff has a diverse background, with nearly 40 years in various property endeavours including the following:

• Licensed real estate agent with over 28 years experience on the Sunshine Coast
• Past owner of one of the Sunshine Coast's largest group of franchised offices
• Past President of The Sunshine Coast Branch of the REIQ
• Past executive member of the Queensland Real Estate Employer Body (QREIOE)
• A qualified urban and rural valuer
• Holder of dual Diplomas in E-Commerce and Information Technology
• Successful real estate trainer
• Commercial and residential property developer
• Past hotel/motel owner/operator

After selling his interest in a group of franchised offices in 1999, Geoff commenced full time studies in E-Commerce. On completing his studies, Geoff accepted an offer to work as a real estate trainer. It was during this period that he concieved the idea of the RAAS Group, by applying his new found understanding of E-Commerce functionality, to his lifetime of real estate knowledge.

His long association with the real estate industry, his high profile, and the innate good business structure of the RAAS system, allowed Geoff to entice two equally long serving real estate practioners in Mike Butler and Russell (Rusty) Lush, to take on the licenses for RAAS in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Geoff (and his wife Helen, who is also a licensed real estate agent with post graduate degrees in Housing Management), look after the Sunshine Coast and North Queensland operations.

Between them the 3 directors have around 100 years accumulated real estate knowledge.
 

Mike commenced his real estate career in Brisbane in 1980, after a long and distinguished career in the travel industry. He soon headed up one of the most dynamic residential real estate offices in Brisbane’s Northern suburbs. Mike is a Licensed Real Estate Agent, a General Auctioneer, and has served on the Arbitration Panel of the REIQ.

As well as directing an award winning residential team, Mike became involved in project marketing, property development and ultimately found the management rights industry. After selling his interest in the residential franchise business, Mike purchased and ran a large management rights complex on Brisbane’s Southside. Once he bedded the business down, he combined his past sales experience with his knowledge of the management rights industry established to start a new role as specialist management rights broker with a Gold Coast agency.

With his vast real estate experience and first hand industry knowledge, Mike has developed a reputation as one of Queensland's leading authorities in this specialist field of real estate.

After a lengthy stint in various rural endeavours, including as owner operators of grazing interests in South Australia and South Western Queensland, Russell (Rusty) Lush, opted for a complete lifestyle change, and in the mid 1980's moved to the Gold Coast to start his real estate career. Russell was advised to keep his "bushy" nickname of Rusty, as it would set himself apart from the rest. He need not have bothered, because the straight forward honest approach to business that he carried over from his days on the land, was enough in itself to set him apart.

Rusty's straight forward approach soon saw him achieving great things  both as a top property sales person and the owner of his own real estate agency.  Rusty’s forte was Project marketing. He sold throughout Asia and New Zealand and established one of the most high profile project marketing firms on the Gold Coast - not bad for a boy from rural South Australia.

As a result of his project marketing endeavours, Rusty discovered the benefits of then relatively new concept of management rights. He sold his agency and began his on going involvement as owner operator of numerous permanent and resort complexes in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and in North Queensland. Rusty is still rightly regarded an expert in the management rights field.
