First National Real Estate’s highest achievers have been presented with their National Awards following a series of state-based events throughout Australia. The awards brought national recognition to First National’s top 2019 salespeople, property managers and administrators.

The peak event on First National’s General Excellence & Marketing Awards calendar represents the highest level of achievement, according to First National Real Estate’s chairman, David Lovell.

‘The low interest rate environment created strong demand for property throughout 2019 but the volume of property offered for sale was broadly lower, and competition for that business was substantial. I’m delighted with the network’s 2019 achievements.’

The highlights of First National Real Estate’s national awards were:

Jamie Bourke of First National Benowa – Salesperson of the Year for 2019 across commercial, residential, rural and lifestyle award categories
George Rafty of First National Newcastle City – Residential Salesperson of the Year
Jodi-Lee Bourke from First National Benowa – Sales Rookie of the Year
Coco Townley of First National Browns Plains – Property Manager Rookie of the Year
Roger Tebeck of First National Framptons (Alice Springs) – Commercial Property Manager of the Year
