Raymond Chu
L.R.E.A. Director
A true business veteran, with an understanding of sales spanning decades and global markets, Raymond Chu has found his calling in running a family operated business in Sydney, the city he has called home for over 20 years. According to Raymond, the key to Golden Peak’s success is that the family he works with are “so close-knit. We communicate well and know exactly how to assist each other. All of us have solid work ethics and take accountability very seriously, helping us build a very strong family brand”.
Much of Raymond’s professional life was dedicated to running a textile business in Hong Kong, importation of fabrics from across Asia. Raymond relocated to Australia in 1997.
Never having lost his keen sense for business, Raymond saw the opportunity to establish Golden Peak Property in 2013. Raymond identified Chatswood as a developing area attracting increasing demand from Chinese buyers. Raymond sought to use his experience in business dealings in Asia to establish sales opportunities and a strong network of local and international clientele with long-term interests in the area.
Raymond’s clients have benefitted enormously from his formidable negotiation skills and his commitment to going the extra mile to provide superior customer service and first-rate results.
Now one of Chatswood’s most highly respected sales agents, Raymond looks forward to overseeing how the next generation of his family will adapt to the challenges of a changing Sydney marketplace.
“I believe they are great business leaders who will continue to expand the business while retaining strong, independent family values we are known for”.

23 August 2022 Raymond and Nino were very helpful and professional in advising us of the market situation. Unlike most property agents, they would not push us to sell our property the quickest they could just to close the deal and get the commission. Instead, they would spend effort to reach out to those buyers who would accept the fair market price. Their sales process was transparent and we were fully informed of the negotiation details. I highly recommend their service. Via Google review: https://g.co/kgs/EbYq7N

16 February 2022 As newcomers to Sydney, my wife and I are not familiar with leasing market when looking for rental apartment. Fortunately, our friend highly recommended Raymond Chu of Golden Property to us. When we visited his office in Chatswood, We saw many appreciation pennants given by his customers which increased our confidence that Golden Property is a reliable agency. Within one week, we successfully leased an apartment that met our criteria thru Golden Property. What most impressed us was that Raymond and his team (Nino and Colinna) professionally led us step by step to complete the leasing process such as bond settlement, utilities set-up and even move-in booking with building manager, etc. Unlike other property agencies providing routine service and seeking only short-term benefits, we experienced Golden Property offered us personalized service with objective of building long term relationship. We’ll definitely go to Golden Property again when buying our own property and continue word-of-mouth recommendation. Via Google Review: https://goo.gl/maps/bARiojxr3z3yRjvD6

30 October 2018 A super BIG thank you to Golden Peak Property for selling our three bedroom unit in St. Leonards within a very short period. This is not the first time that Golden Peak helps me to sell our property. They are professional and know the market really well. They act as a bridge between the buyer and ourselves and help to clarify any misunderstandings. They are efficient, effective and very responsive to their clients. It seems that they are working 24/7 as they will answer your call or respond to your text message at any time during the day. Most of all, they are very generous and not calculating. They are willing to follow up with any unhappy surprises during the selling period. They have many contractors on hand with good relationships. Just a phone call, they can immediately arrange contractors from different fields to solve the problem in your unit. If I have another unit to sell again, I will definitely approach Golden Peak Property. They are very reasonable with their commission. In fact, I should say, they worth more than what they charge for their commission. Therefore if you are looking for a property agent, I would highly recommend Golden Peak Property to you!

I am an owner of two commercial and two residential properties who had been unhappy with the poor service provided by a few other agencies - it was frustrating to chase for rent payment as an owner and I have to worry about late payments on outgoings from time to time. Over the weeks I transferred the properties for Golden Peak to manage, and now I do not have to worry about anything at all. I am always treated with respect and kindness. Raymond and his family go out of their ways to help with all my leasing needs. They are professional, responsible and do everything thoroughly. I had also witnessed Nino and Amelia's attention to details when she did the inspection for one of houses. They truly give me that peace of mind that every owner should have! I will definitely look to and would recommend Golden Peak Property to friends for leases in the future.

Without your professional advice & complicated market research, this sale wouldn't achieve such a good result. We felt so lucky to have you to be the agent of the sale, from professional photographs, creative advertising editing, assisting any repair associates with sales, to keeping your clients updated at all times, just to name a few. We guess we are another one of your happy customers. We will be more than happy to recommend you to our family & friends for future property matters. Warm regards,

2 October 2014 Re: Mr Raymond Chu & Golden Peak Property, It is my pleasure to be able to give an unhesitating endorsement of the Golden Peak Real Estate agency and its principal Mr. Raymond Chu. Raymond is a kind, warm engaging person and very capable businessman who is hard-working and determined. With these attributes, and with his language skills and cultural understanding, he was able to develop the rapport with the purchaser of my property that got the sale over the line. Raymond and his agency were able to get a good price for my property is less than half the time it took for a much larger multi-list agency to flounder and fail. Raymond's approach was to be open, frank and honest with potential purchasers enabling him to be able to highlight the many advantages of the property as well as acknowledging the limitations. This engendered trust and confidence, in the potential purchasers. Raymond, unlike several agencies I had explored, was prepared to listen to, and follow a preferred marketing strategy. He also offered excellent rates. He kept me up to date with progress in the marketing of the property and worked hard to achieve its successful sale. We are very grateful to Raymond and would not hesitate to engage his services in the future.
