First National announces SA and NT 2020 award winners

First National Real Estate’s South Australia and Northern Territory agents celebrated their annual night of nights last weekend.

The group’s SA and NT agents were presented with their 2020 General Excellence and Marketing Awards at Hilton Adelaide on Friday night. 

The 2020 awards introduced two major new award classifications – Magnificent 7 and Elite.

These awards incorporate 15 property managers, salespeople and offices that have excelled throughout South Australia and the Northern Territory.

First National SA/NT State Chairman, Andrew Doyle, said the changed award categories better identified the value property managers and sales agents brought to customers.

“Our Investor Relations Management award title accurately recognises the critical role property managers play with the $50 billion worth of real estate assets under First National’s management,” Mr Doyle said. 

“These managers are highly trained, expertly connected members of our local communities; the foundation of every successful real estate agency.” 

He said the First national network couldn’t be prouder of the efforts and results of investor relations managers and salespeople played during what had been “a year like no other”.

The Magnificent 7 Number One Sales Office of the Year award went to  First National Real Estate People’s Choice (Gawler, SA).

Magnificent 7 sales office awards winners included FN Peoples’ Choice (in Gawler, SA), which was awarded the Magnificent 7 No 1 Sales Office of the Year; and FN O’Donoghues (Darwin, NT); FN Framptons, Alice Springs (NT); FN Burton Groves (Tea Tree Gully, SA); FN Taylor’s, Para Hills (SA); FN Lewis Prior, Warradale (SA); and FN Riggall, Prospect (SA).

The winners of the Elite Sales Office awards were FN Broken Hill (NSW); FN Marschall (Waikerie, SA); FN Murray Bridge (SA); FN Nitschke (Mt Barker, SA); FN Parker Kershaw (Golden Grove, SA); and FN Salisbury (SA).
