The foundations of one of Ray White’s top-performing businesses trace back to Tarragindi, where a mother’s early real estate career inspired a family legacy.
Family Foundations Laid in Tarragindi
Ray White Collective, now Australia’s highest-performing Ray White business, has its origins in Tarragindi, where Judith Cush first entered the real estate industry. After relocating from Papua New Guinea, she purchased a colonial home in the suburb and developed a strong interest in property. That interest led her to join Ray White Moorooka, where she negotiated flexible work hours to balance parenting with her new role.
Judith’s children quickly became part of the daily routine. After school, they would help stamp boxes of contracts in the office, an early task that introduced them to the profession. They occasionally accompanied her to inspections, experiences that played a formative role in Haesley Cush’s later career choice.
From Local Beginnings to Industry Leader
Haesley eventually joined his mother at Ray White Moorooka, spending six years learning the business alongside her. In 2005, he purchased Ray White New Farm and went on to establish Ray White Collective, leading its expansion across Brisbane and into national prominence.
Throughout his career, the influence of Tarragindi and his mother’s work remained a reference point. His understanding of work ethic and community engagement was shaped by watching Judith’s efforts during those formative years.
Passing the Torch to the Next Generation
The family’s real estate journey has now entered its third generation. Haesley’s daughter, Vivienne, regularly joins him at auctions, reflecting the role he once had supporting his mother’s work. This continuity highlights the intergenerational nature of their involvement in the industry, rooted in experiences that began in Tarragindi.
Judith Cush remains active in the profession, currently leading the Living Here Cush Partners sales team. Her ongoing work continues to reflect the approach that originally inspired her children’s interest in real estate.
