REIA confirms award nominees

The nominees for the 2012 REIA National Awards for Excellence have been confirmed for this Thursday night’s gala event, to be held at the Darwin Convention Centre.

The national awards event consists of sixteen award categories ranging from the coveted president’s award to the achievement award, which aims to encourage newcomers to the profession.

As well as the sixteen categories, Independent Property Group of the ACT and Sissons Estate Agents of QLD will be once again recognised for their 2011 inductions into the REIA Hall of Fame. 

Both agencies have won their relevant categories for three consecutive years; Independent Property Group for Large Residential Agency of the Year and the Communications Award and Sissons Estate Agents for Small Residential Agency of the Year.
