Over 350 of First National Real Estate’s agents were presented with their General Excellence and Marketing Awards last night at the network’s National Convention, which is underway at Thailand’s Hyatt Regency in Bangkok.

FN Byron Bay (NSW) was announced Magnificent 7 – Number One Sales Office of the Year; and FN Hedland (Port Hedland, WA) was declared Magnificent 7 – No.1 Investor Relations Management Office of the Year.

Topping the individual awards was Grace McAulley, FN Bathurst (NSW) 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 Su Reynolds, FN Byron Bay (NSW) who received Magnificent 7 – No.1 Salesperson of the Year.

The winner of the network’s highest honour, The Kaye Heath Memorial Award, was Robert Stephens of FN Collie & Tierney (Mildura, Vic) in honour of his dedication to the network’s Rural Chapter.

National Chairman, David Lovell, said that it was incredible to have so many of the network’s agents in Bangkok for the network’s National Convention, which had completely sold out for a second consecutive year.

‘To see more than 350 of our agents celebrate their 2021 successes in an international city like Bangkok, after COVID had prevented international travel for more than two years, shows the true culture of cooperation that takes place at First National Real Estate,’ said Mr Lovell.

‘I am delighted that many of our delegates are attending a First National convention for their first time, because they’ve heard how great our Canberra convention was last year. We truly have a uniquely supportive culture at First National and this is what enables our people to be their best.’
