REINSW 2020 Awards for Excellence finalists announced

The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) has announced the finalists for its annual Awards for Excellence.

Now into its third decade, the Awards for Excellence is the most prestigious and respected industry awards in NSW and recognises the best, bravest and brightest work across the industry.

REINSW President, Leanne Pilkington, says this year the Awards for Excellence is bigger than ever despite COVID-19 pandemic which brought the industry’s usual working practices to a virtual standstill.

“We have been astonished by the number of entrants into the Awards for Excellence this year. We received the highest number of submissions/entries ever which is even more gratifying as entrants were also simultaneously dealing with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Ms Pilkington.

“The Awards for Excellence is an opportunity to highlight our industry’s greatest successes and most outstanding achievements. It offers much-deserved recognition for the agents who work tirelessly in their profession and for their communities.”

This year there are 11 agency categories and 12 individual categories. We’re excited that a new Business Development Manager category has been created and is included in this year’s program. We are also proud to announce that the Residential Property Manager’s Award has been renamed to the Tim Anderson OAM Residential Property Manager Award – a fitting honour indeed for a much-loved member of REINSW.

“As the industry evolves, new scopes of practice emerge,” says Pilkington. “As the leading awards program for real estate in NSW, we aim to continually evaluate and improve our categories and processes.”

Pilkington says finalists should be proud of their achievement.

“Being named a finalist in the Awards for Excellence is a great honour,” she says. “Finalists should share their success proudly as it is validation of a job well done.”

The Awards for Excellence Gala Dinner is scheduled for 30 October 2020. There will be information released about ticket purchases during the next few weeks.
