REIQ Awards finalists announced

The Queensland real estate industry’s most anticipated annual event has inched a step closer with the REIQ announcing finalists for the 2023 Awards for Excellence.

 

The REIQ received a record number of individual and agency nominations across almost 30 categories in the lead up to the awards’ glittering gala ceremony to be held on 28 October at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre.

 

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the awards celebrated the Queensland industry’s most outstanding performers and the finalists were one step closer to being crowned a winner.

 

“The REIQ Awards for Excellence are professional recognition at the highest level in Queensland and being named a finalist is a significant achievement,” Ms Mercorella said.

 

“The awards celebrate best practice in the real estate profession and set the benchmark for standards in the industry, giving consumers greater confidence when choosing a real estate practitioner.

 

“Our judges are always impressed by the sheer passion and enthusiasm contained in the submissions by real estate professionals and agencies who have reviewed their efforts over the year and have taken great pride in their achievements.

 

“On behalf of the REIQ and Queensland’s real estate community, I’d like to thank everyone who nominated and offer our congratulations to the finalists.”

 

Ms Mercorella said the awards gala was always a highly anticipated event.

NOOSA NOMINATIONS

The thing that stands out is the consistency in which certain agents and agencies are acknowledged at such awards.

Particularly noteworthy is the contribution to community.

Again, it comes down to a previous winner of the award and a finalist – Laguna Real Estate and Hinternoosa.

Agency Support Person of the Year sees Debra Aleckson of Countryside Realty Noosa and Rebecca Ali-Mumtaz of Hinternoosa winning through.

Multimedia Award finalist is Countryside Realty Noosa.

Residential Salesperson of the Year sees Alisa Wythes of Hinternoosa, Kimberlea Thwaites of Countryside Realty Noosa, and Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate all being invited to the awards.

The same business names crop up again for the agency awards:

Small Residential Agency: Countryside Realty Noosa. Medium Residential Agency: Hinternoosa. Large Residential Agency: Laguna Real Estate.
