First National Real Estate’s Queensland Chairperson, Mike Gray, presented members with their General Excellence and Marketing (GEM) Awards at the Sofitel Brisbane on Saturday night.
First National Real Estate, which has over 400 offices throughout Australasia and 70 in Queensland, celebrated the best of the QLD’s real estate performances over the past year, which according to Mr Gray, required its agents to maintain focus on listings acquisition, investor yields, and digital marketing strategies.
‘First National Real Estate manages over $20.8 billion in Australian property assets and property investor yields are high on the agenda of every Queensland member’s office’ Mr Gray said.
Likewise, our State’s salespeople really needed to apply themselves to maintain strong sales outcomes for their customers.
