On Saturday night (23 October), the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) hosted the Queensland’s real estate communities’ night of nights – the 2021 REIQ Awards for Excellence.
LJ Hooker Solutions Gold Coast were in amongst the 820 real estate practitioners who packed into The Star Gold Coast for the industry peak body’s sell-out gala event.
The LJ Hooker specialist group which includes LJ Hooker Nerang, Pacific Pines, Helensvale, Hope Island, Coomera and Ormeau we named as the winners of Contribution to the Community Award. It is the fourth time that offices within this group have won this award.
The group also held finalist positions in an additional four categories, including Residential Salesperson of the Year, Agency Support Person of the Year and Large Residential Agency of the Year.
The REIQ’s CEO Antonia Mercorella congratulated the 2021 Award winners, acknowledging the highly competitive and rapidly changing landscape they’ve operated in over the past financial year.
“The REIQ Awards for Excellence is one of the most highly-anticipated events on the state’s real estate profession calendar, as agents and agencies strive to set themselves apart in Queensland’s competitive real estate industry,” Ms Mercorella said.
“Agents across Queensland vied for the chance to step up to the podium last night to accept an Award, and those who took home a title should be incredibly proud of that significant achievement.”
Ms Mercorella said that each year the REIQ’s members raised the bar of professionalism in the industry, reflected in the growing quantity and quality of Award entrants and calibre of the winners.
“In 2021 we’ve seen a record number of nominations, with 194 finalists vying to win the 28 individual and agency categories,” she said.
“As a peak body should, the REIQ exists to empower real estate agents in their endeavours to uphold the highest professional standards in the industry, and these Awards are an extension of that support – providing a stage for the profession’s stand-out performers to be elevated among their peers.”
