Noosa shire real estate agents have been marked out among the top performers in the state as the Real Estate Institute of Queensland released its finalists in the 2018 annual Awards For Excellence.
For Cooroy’s Countryside Realty, one of the town’s longest-running agencies started by Robyn Kildey and her business partner 15 years ago, becoming finalist in the Small Residential Agency of the Year category was a thrill.
“We are, of course, absolutely delighted to be recognised for all the hard work that we do for our clients,” Ms Kildey said.
“As always, our primary focus is servicing the local area that we live and work in, we believe that the coverage we will achieve having been nominated for such a prestigious award will only help to strengthen the community that we all aspire to build and develop.
“With our agency receiving so much attention, naturally so does the area we service, driving more people to the hinterland buying real estate and also for tourism or leisure.”
Also shortlisted in the awards was Laguna Real Estate Noosa, with a presence in three categories including Large Residential Agency of the Year, Community Service Award and Residential Property Manager of the Year for Kellie Drinnan.
The winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony in Brisbane in March.
