LJ Hooker has recognised its top performers across Australia and New Zealand at its annual International Awards night, held virtually this year.
The Sir Leslie Hooker Award – the most prestigious award of the night that is named in honour of the company founder – was awarded to Shane Colquhoun.
The award recognises the contributions of a business owner to mentorship and office culture, leadership and support to the real estate network, and in giving back to the community.
LJ Hooker Network Chief Graeme Hyde congratulated the Mr Colquhoun on the outstanding achievement.
“Shane’s dedication to his teams, community and industry are nothing short of astonishing. He seamlessly made the transition from a top performing sales agent to business ownership in late 2003 and has worked tirelessly to grow his businesses to six offices and over 110 employees.
“With the majority of his offices being ranked amongst the top in the network. That in itself is astounding, but what sets Shane truly apart is the compassion, energy and empathy he has for his team and community.
“Real estate is a passion for Shane, and it has most definitely shown in the consistent results he has achieved with his teams over his 17 years in business. He is dedicated to the betterment of the network previously holding seats on the LJ Hooker Franchise Owners Council as President. Presently, he sits on the Council with the LJ Hooker Foundation portfolio, which is our charity arm, and on the LJ Hooker Board as well as sitting on the board for Cystic Fibrosis,” said Mr Hyde.
Speaking on the award, Mr Colquhoun said: “I am so grateful and so humbled to have received this award; this is a very special award. But we don’t do what we do for the glass trophy, we do it because we love what we do”
“When you’re passionate about a career and people that you work with, this is the outcome.”
Mr Colquhoun is the business owner of LJ Hooker offices Nerang, Pacific Pines, Helensvale, Hope Island, Coomera and Ormeau in Queensland.
