A record number of ACT real estate professionals were recognised for their achievements at the Real Estate Institute of the ACT’s annual Awards for Excellence held in Barton last weekend.

The night, which attracted a 400-strong crowd, also commemorated the institute’s 50th year of operation.

REIACT President Hannah Gill says real estate professionals in the ACT are dominating national industry awards and there’s scope to build on that foundation at a local level.

“We want to build on that momentum for our local industry awards and I am glad that more real estate professionals are seeing the value of showcasing their achievements, innovations and best practices,” she says.

REIACT CEO Maria Edwards says that amid the many challenges that real estate professionals and the industry as a whole face, the awards are a reminder to uphold professionalism and the highest standards in providing services to the community.

“This is what we have been promoting to our members for the last five decades, and we will strive to do so for the years to come,” she says.

The REIACT Awards for Excellence is the Institute’s biggest annual event to recognise and promote excellence and best practice in the ACT’s real estate profession.
