October is Small Business Month! And to celebrate, we’re highlighting some of the great small businesses we have throughout the region.
Today we have a real estate agent, a clothing store, and a welder.
Raine & Horne Rural Armidale|Glen Innes
Real estate sales covering the entire New England including rural large acreage, residential, commercial, lifestyle, business and asset management.
After working with another real estate brand Nellie Hayes commenced with Raine & Horne in 2018 and has opened an agency in Glen Innes and Armidale covering an area of the entire New England for rural/large acreage properties to residential. With properties spanning between Walcha to Tenterfield, Nellie also has listings at Gunnedah, Tullamore & South West Rocks.
“We have an extremely knowledgeable and capable all female team with experience spanning many years in agriculture, law, business, hospitality, HR, and of course real estate, nationally & overseas.”
“It is an extraordinary profession and one that I’m hoping inspires others to connect – loyalty, work hard, knowledge of market & “how to”.”
“We cover all facets of the industry – selling rural property large acreage, residential, lifestyle, business, commercial and asset management.”
Nellie has 4 children living/working & schooling locally and says is fantastic to give back when you have the opportunity. She is currently a part of a committee organising the inaugural New England Garden Festival to be held in November this year.

Throughout October, we’ll run stories highlighting the great local businesses we have right here in our communities. This is a free service – the businesses highlighted have not paid for this story.
