First National Real Estate’s agents were last night presented with their General Excellence and Marketing Awards at the network’s National Convention, which is currently underway at Malaysia’s Grand Hyatt in Kuala Lumpur.
Taking the top office awards were FN Cleveland (Qld), which was announced Magnificent 7 – Number One Sales Office of the Year, and FN Hedland (Port Hedland, WA) which was announced Magnificent 7 – No.1 Investor Relations Management Office of the Year.
Topping the individual awards was Melissa Starkey, FN Surfers Paradise (Qld) who took home Magnificent 7 – No.1 Investor Relations Manager of the Year; Amy Doran, FN Hedland (Port Hedland, WA) who won Magnificent 7 – No.1 Business Development Manager of the Year, and Ethan He, FN JXRE (Clayton, Vic) who received Magnificent 7 – No.1 Salesperson of the Year.
The winner of the network’s highest honour, The Kaye Heath Memorial Award, was David Forrest of FN Cairns central, in recognition of his many years of work on QLD Regional Council and the National Board.
National Chairman, Rob Westwood, said that it was incredible to witness the enthusiasm of the network’s agents in Malaysia.
‘To see some 330 of our salespeople, property managers and administrators here in Kuala Lumpur for our Convention as well as to celebrate the network’s collective success is always uplifting,’ said Mr Westwood.
‘We are better together as connected independents and the genuine spirit of cooperation that defines our difference always shines through at our awards nights.’
