About the Awards

Celebrating the women redefining Australian real estate

For decades, women have helped shape Australia's real estate industry.

They've built high-performing agencies, led sales and property management teams, guided clients through life's biggest financial decisions, embraced new technology, mentored future leaders and transformed the way real estate is delivered across Australia.

Their impact has helped redefine what leadership in real estate looks like, yet too often, that contribution goes unrecognised.

REB is proud to launch the Women in Real Estate Awards, a national awards program dedicated to recognising the women raising the standard of Australia's real estate profession.

This is more than another awards program. It's a chance to be recognised.

The Women in Real Estate Awards is the first national awards program from Real Estate Business dedicated to recognising the outstanding achievements of women across Australia's real estate profession.

The awards celebrate the individuals, teams and businesses driving excellence across residential sales, property management, commercial real estate, buyers' advocacy, business development, agency leadership, operations, technology, marketing, innovation and customer experience.

As the industry continues to evolve, women are playing an increasingly influential role in shaping its future. They are building market-leading agencies, delivering exceptional outcomes for buyers, sellers, landlords and investors, embracing emerging technologies, mentoring future professionals and redefining leadership.

The Women in Real Estate Awards have been established to recognise those achievements.

Open to professionals and teams at every stage of their career, the program provides a platform to celebrate sales excellence, operational performance, leadership, innovation, client impact, and contribution to Australia's real estate profession.

Submissions will be assessed through an independent judging process by a panel of respected industry leaders, ensuring every submission is evaluated fairly, consistently and on merit.

Finalists and winners will be recognised at a prestigious black-tie gala, bringing together Australia's real estate profession to celebrate the women setting new benchmarks for excellence.

Whether you're an emerging agent, property manager, buyers' advocate, business development manager, commercial specialist, operations leader, agency principal or established industry leader, the Women in Real Estate Awards recognise the people making a lasting impact on Australia's real estate profession.

Why Enter?

Recognition that lasts long after
awards night

An award can recognise your work to date, but can also transform your future.

Recognition creates opportunities, builds credibility with clients, strengthens your professional reputation, attracts exceptional talent, differentiates your business and validates years of hard work.

Whether you become a finalist or take home a national award, being recognised by REB tells the market that your work stands among the very best in Australia.

Stand alongside Australia's leading women in real estate and position yourself as one of the industry's most respected professionals.

01

Accelerate your career

Recognition can become a defining moment in your professional journey. Whether you're working towards agency leadership, building your personal brand, expanding your business or growing your market share, independent industry recognition demonstrates leadership, expertise and impact.

02

Grow your business

Awards provide more than recognition; they're a powerful business development tool. Being recognised helps build trust with prospective clients, supports new business conversations and differentiates your agency in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

03

Attract and retain exceptional people

The best professionals want to work with the best businesses. Recognition demonstrates your commitment to excellence, helping attract future talent while recognising the women already driving your organisation's success.

04

Celebrate the work that often goes unnoticed

Most women don't stop to celebrate what they've achieved; they're focused on the next listing, the next auction, the next settlement or the next client. These awards exist to change that, providing a moment to recognise everything you've built and the impact you've made.

05

Inspire the next generation

Every finalist helps demonstrate what's possible. By sharing your story, you're helping inspire future real estate professionals, agency leaders and business owners while contributing to a stronger, more diverse and more successful real estate industry.
