How finalists were selected
The REB Awards, in conjunction with event stakeholders REB, Momentum Media, and a panel of leading real estate professionals and businesses, has developed a robust awards methodology to form the backbone for assessing, analysing and benchmarking Australia’s leading real estate professionals.
All submissions undergo a thorough audit process, checking demographic and other information against category eligibility criteria based on the information provided in the submission.
Those submissions deemed eligible against submission criteria are reviewed and assessed by a panel of Momentum Media events and editorial team members and executives, plus industry stakeholders where required, to determine the finalists for each category.
Finalist submissions will now be delivered to a panel of respected professionals and business leaders, who assess each submission against the criteria of each award category.
