The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) have announced the finalists for the 2021 REIA National Awards for Excellence, with Western Australian nominees up for 10 of the 20 Awards.

REIA President Adrian Kelly said the REIA National Awards for Excellence 2021 recognise the best of the best in Australian real estate; and highlight how state and territory Institute membership sets both agents and agencies apart from the rest by property customers.

“In total, there are 20 awards across three streams: Residential, Commercial and Excellence in the Industry. It’s pleasing to note from our 83 finalists there has been an increase in female candidates in the different categories from previous years,” Mr Kelly said.

The Awards are being hosted by the Real Estate Institute of the Northern Territory (REINT) in Darwin on Thursday 10 June 2021.
