The South Australian real estate industry gathered in Adelaide on Saturday night for the 2017 Awards for Excellence in Real Estate, an event hosted by the Real Estate Institute of South Australia.

The 2017 Awards were celebrated with a medieval theme with year, providing MC Amanda Blair with the combined challenges of elaborate historical references and a record number of nominations and finalists.

REISA CEO, Greg Troughton, said he was blown away by the amazing medieval spectacle, as well as the the depth of talent present in the South Australian real estate industry.

“These are the most prestigious and recognised awards for real estate professionals in South Australia," he said. 

"We undertake a rigorous nomination, qualifying and judging process to ensure that only the very best of the best can serve as ambassadors – and REISA Award winners – for the real estate profession”

“The Awards honour and celebrate everything that is good in the real estate profession. Recognition of the excellence and achievement in serving the community and the profession are hallmarks of the awards," he said.

Highlights of the night were the presentation of the Sir Robert Torrens Award to Rosalind Neale in recognition of her commitment and service to the profession.

A Life Membership of REISA was awarded to Robin Turner.
