The Real Estate Institute of Victoria has recognised this year’s best in real estate, awarding the industry's leaders in more than 25 categories.

The REIV’s independently-judged Awards for Excellence are an industry highlight with more than 1,000 Victorian agents attending a gala dinner at Crown Palladium last night.

This year’s award winners included:

Large Residential Agency of the Year: Methven Professionals Mooroolbark
Residential Salesperson of the Year (Executives): Matthew Scafidi, Noel Jones Mitcham
Outstanding Young Agent of the Year: Bianca Butterworth, CBRE
Buyer’s Agent of the Year: Lisa Parker, Parker Investment Properties
Community Service Award: Biggin & Scott Knox
Residential Marketing Award (Budget over $10K): Jellis Craig Fitzroy, Land on a Roof

REIV President Richard Simpson said this year’s winners and finalists were standout performers in their respective real estate fields.

“These annual awards identify the agencies and individuals who are lifting professional standards and contributing to industry best practice," he said.

“The competitiveness of this year’s awards really demonstrates the industry’s dedication to greater professionalism with customer service a key focus for our members.”

Simpson recognised the continued excellence of the Mornington agency Nicholas Lynch, which was awarded the Medium Residential Agency of the Year award for the third consecutive year.

He also acknowledged REIV Past President Peter Hawkins, awarded an Honorary Life Membership, as well as former Director Adrian Butera who was presented with this year’s President’s Award.

Simpson said both recipients are deserving winners, having been involved with the Institute for many years.

“Adrian has made a significant contribution to both the REIV and the industry, particularly in the field of auctioneering where he has been a trailblazer. As the Institute’s inaugural winner of the both the novice and senior auction competitions more than 20 years ago, Adrian has been a mentor to many of today’s leading auctioneers.”
