The Real Estate Business (REB) Awards are back for their 14th year and are once again bringing an unparalleled awards program that identifies the top businesses and professionals in the real estate industry across the nation.
For over a decade, the awards program has been known as the “benchmark for excellence” in real estate around Australia, and year after year recognises those influencing the profession and propelling the industry forward.
In 2026, REB will once again celebrate the best of the best in real estate sales and property management and will continue to highlight the outstanding contributions of professionals and businesses working within the industry, including agents, networks, innovators, leaders and property managers.
The group late last year unveiled the 2026 Finalists, for which they received 850 submissions, with 300 making it through to the judging stage.
“These professionals have truly demonstrated their excellence and commitment to their craft,” an REB spokesperson said.
Noosa’s real estate sector featured prominently among the finalists.
Finalist agency groups with offices in Noosa include Laguna Real Estate, Harcourts Property Centre, TOWN, Laing + Simmons and One Agency, reflecting the depth and diversity of the region’s property market and the professionals working within it.
Individually, several Noosa-based agents and industry leaders have also been recognised.
Kimberlea Krause and Eliot Krause from Krause Property Group are finalists in the Marketing Professional of the Year and Sales Campaign of the Year categories, respectively.
Laguna Real Estate has multiple finalists, with Patsy Johnson named for Office Administrator of the Year and Olivier Miller recognised in the highly competitive Principal of the Year category.
From TOWN, Craig Morrison has been named a finalist for Sales Agent of the Year (Regional), while Angelina Sweeney has earned a nomination for Young Gun of the Year, highlighting emerging talent within the Noosa market.
At an agency level, Laguna Real Estate is also a finalist for Property Management Business of the Year (under six managers) and Sales Office of the Year (Regional), alongside TOWN.
Harcourts Property Centre has been recognised in the Property Management Business of the Year category (more than seven managers), while Laing + Simmons and One Agency are finalists for Major Network of the Year.
A highly regarded judging panel will announce the winners at a gala event at The Star Sydney on Thursday, 19 February 2026.
