The stars of Adelaide’s real estate profession shone bright at last night’s Real Estate Institute of South Australia’s annual Awards for Excellence, with one lesser-known agency taking home a swag of awards.
More than 550 guests celebrated the industry’s achievements at Adelaide Oval in a La Dolce Vita themed Gala Ball MCd by Channel 9 and 5AA’s Tom Rehn and ABC Radio’s Stacey Lee.
Klemich Real Estate’s Matt Smith was recognised as South Australian residential salesperson of the year, ahead of Simon Noakes of Noakes Nickolas and Allan Real Estate’s Brad Allan, who were each named silver award winners.
Zac Watts of Noakes Nickolas was named the metro local residential salesperson gold award winner, with Radelaide Real Estate’s Baldeep Dang and Refined Real Estate’s Sam Shoaeeyan taking out the silver, while Jade Fraser of Kemp Real Estate was crowned regional local residential sales person of the year.
It was a big night for LJ Hooker Commercial Adelaide, which was named best commercial and industrial agency, and commercial and industrial property management agency, while Taarnby Real Estate almost needed to order a separate Uber for their haul.
They took home bronze for Operational Support, silver for Operational Leadership, silver for Small Residential Agency, gold for Project Market Developments, gold for Residential Sales Team and gold for Sustainability Leadership – Agency.
REISA CEO Andrea Heading said the awards were a celebration of everything good about the real estate profession.
“Everyone here tonight – all the finalists and winners – are worthy ambassadors for our profession,” she said.
“The awards are also an opportunity for us to showcase to the Government and the community the best the real estate industry has to offer and to reinforce our commitment to professionalism and excellence”.
