6 August 2014

The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales has announced the finalists for the 17th annual REINSW Awards for Excellence.

REINSW President Malcolm Gunning said it was a great honour to be recognised as finalists at the prestigious awards.

“We are delighted to announce the finalists for what is the highest accolade that you can receive in real estate in NSW – an REINSW Award for Excellence.

“The expanded awards program, with 21 categories in 2014, cements the finalists as industry leaders who are showing the way in an era of innovation.

“Agencies large and small, community service, commercial and residential professionals are among just some of the categories that are included in the awards.

“Real estate professionals from across the state have been recognised as finalists, and we are proud to celebrate our great industry and its high achievers at our Gala Dinner on Thursday, 2 October 2014 at Doltone House (Jones Bay Wharf) in Sydney.

“It is exciting to be part of these awards, and as the leading association for real estate professionals in NSW we know that consumers look to REINSW and our members when buying, selling or leasing property, as well as for general advice,” Mr Gunning said.
