REIV President Richard Simpson said this year’s winners and finalists were standout performers in their respective real estate fields.
“These annual awards identify the agencies and individuals who are lifting professional standards and contributing to industry best practice.”
“Importantly, they acknowledge our members’ commitment to achieving the best results for their clients.”
“The competitiveness of this year’s awards really demonstrates the industry’s dedication to greater professionalism with customer service a key focus for our members.”
Mr Simpson recognised the continued excellence of Mornington based agency Nicholas Lynch, awarded the Medium Residential Agency of the Year award for the third consecutive year.
He also acknowledged REIV Past President Peter Hawkins, awarded an Honorary Life Membership, as well as former Director Adrian Butera who was presented with this year’s President’s Award.
Mr Simpson said both recipients are deserving winners, having been involved with the Institute for many years.
“Adrian has made a significant contribution to both the REIV and the industry, particularly in the field of auctioneering where he has been a trailblazer. As the Institute’s inaugural winner of the both the novice and senior auction competitions more than 20 years ago, Adrian has been a mentor to many of today’s leading auctioneers.”
