Some of Victoria’s most outstanding real estate talent was crowned last night at the 2020 REIV Awards for Excellence and Commercial & Industrial Marketing Awards.
As has been the trend this year, the gala event was a digital presentation, in keeping the theme of ‘innovation’ that ran through the night.
Fifty-two winners were announced, all of which are below.
“Time and time again Victorian real estate has refused to let coronavirus win,” REIV President Leah Calnan said.
“Having the 2020 REIV awards go online allowed us to celebrate our industry’s achievements safely.
“2020 has been an incredibly challenging year, Victorian real estate continues to prevail, and today we come together and celebrate that resilience and strength.
“Congratulations must go to all members, this was a tough year, but our industry is filled with survivors who refused to give in.”
REIV CEO Gil King noted the awards offered “an incredible platform to support and recognise the work done by real estate professionals across Victoria”.
“I am constantly amazed by the commitment shown by our members; new techniques are being developed, and our industry is continually evolving.
“Tonight’s winners have been rightly rewarded for their hard work, dedication and innovation.”
