LJ Hooker Waihi Beach owner Gary Alway has been recognised as a top agent internationally for the real estate giant.
Gary reached the top 2.5 per cent of all LJ Hooker agents, with the brand boasting more than 500 offices internationally.
The ranking rewards exceptional achievement and showcases the expertise of agents across the multitude of LJ Hooker offices. The recognition aims to motivative and lead other agents to excellence.
The coastal town of Waihi Beach on New Zealand’s North Island has a population of less than 3000 permanent residents.
Gary attributes his success to his entire team at LJ Hooker Waihi Beach, as well as the support of the tight-knit community.
“We are locals and we invest a lot back into our town, and we appreciate the support we get to be able to achieve amazing results in a small community,” he said.
“We are not just about buying and selling houses, but it is about the entire experience. During the years we have learnt a lot, and we offer our business experience at local events to help enhance and shape the future of our community.
“Over the years, Waihi Beach has trusted us with what we do outside of our business, and we are grateful that the people here have trusted us with their property journey as we continue to create lasting relationships.”
This past year has seen many people flock to Waihi Beach, which created a buoyant property market.
“People could not travel, so they came here and quickly learnt they would rather be here than in their inner-city, air conditioned office.
“Although this time of the year is a bit quieter, there is still enthusiasm in our local property market as people want to make this perfect bit of paradise home,” Gary added.
LJ Hooker Network Chief Graeme Hyde said Gary had embraced professional development and met the criteria of high performance.
“With a goal to reach this milestone, Gary rightfully takes his position within the upper percentile and is now someone for others in the network to look up to,” Mr Hyde said.
“As a member of Australasia’s best known and most trusted real estate brand, Gary has cemented himself as one of the group’s top performers.”
