The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) has announced the finalists for its annual Awards for Excellence.

Now in its 26^th year, the prestigious Awards for Excellence is the most respected competition within the real estate profession, acknowledging exceptional performances across the industry. 

The Awards for Excellence program offers much-deserved recognition for the unwavering commitment and tireless efforts exhibited by agents and their valuable contributions to their communities.

“While it is always important to recognise outstanding work, all the finalists should feel very proud,” says REINSW President Peter Matthews. “It is through acknowledging exceptional contributions that we nurture talent, encourage innovation, and push the boundaries of what is possible.”

The Awards for Excellence offers 23 categories covering both agencies and individuals. 

“As the industry evolves, new scopes of practice emerge,” says Mr Matthews. “As the leading awards program for real estate in NSW, we aim to continually evaluate and improve our categories and processes year on year.”

“Being named a finalist in the Awards for Excellence is a great honour.” 

“Finalists should share their success proudly as it is validation of a job well done and a testament to the exceptional quality of their work.”

The Awards for Excellence Gala Dinner is scheduled to take place Thursday, 7 September 2023 at The Star Entertainment Centre in Sydney. 

Keep an eye out for information about ticket purchases which will be released during the next few weeks.
