First National Real Estate’s Western Australia Chairperson, Lynda Briggs, presented members with their General Excellence and Marketing (GEM) Awards at the Hyatt Regency Perth on Saturday night.
 
First National Real Estate, which has over 400 offices throughout Australasia and 25 in Western Australia, celebrated the best of the WA’s real estate performances over the past year, which according to Ms Briggs, 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 WA member’s office’ Ms Briggs said.
