First National Real Estate’s top national performers were presented with their General Excellence and Marketing Awards at the Cairns Convention Centre on Thursday 19 May. The awards dinner was part of First National Real Estate’s joint Australian and New Zealand Convention, which has attracted more than 350 delegates from Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
The peak event on First National’s calendar provided recognition to estate agents, property managers and principals who rose above the challenges of considerably varied marketplaces throughout Australia, according to First National Real Estate Waverley City principal, Thomas Som.
“Real estate prices and population growth slowed in the past 12 months, which combined with tightened bank lending criteria to create significant changes to market dynamics in most First National Real Estate locations.” said Thomas Som.
“The network, however, focused on a national campaign of professional development to assure consistently high performance in all states and territories. It achieved record attendances and the General Excellence and Marketing Awards represent recognition of our staffs’ and members’ dedication to excellence.”
On the night, First National Real Estate Waverley City received an award for the Sales Office of the Year 2015, while Jessica Chea received an award for the Sales Person of the Year 2015.

Thomas Som said the First National General Excellence and Marketing Awards are an important event as they present an opportunity for the network’s membership to come together and celebrate outstanding achievements, and to learn about the systems and processes that enabled colleagues to deliver award winning outcomes for customers.
