Local Adelaide agency, First National Real Estate Burton Groves, was named among the state’s Top 10 Sales Offices of the Year on Friday night at the network’s South Australian/Northern Territory Gala Awards dinner, held at the Intercontinental in Adelaide where members were rewarded for their shining achievements over the past year.
The elegant affair celebrated the best of the State’s real estate performances, which according to First National Real Estate Burton Groves Principal, Russell Burton, has been exceptional given the market conditions of 2010.
“Last year was a relatively slow market for property, but our staff were still able to deliver services beyond customer expectations and were kept extremely busy, evidence of how good systems and hard work pay off,” Mr Burton said.
“Their results over the last year are testimony to their persistence and commitment to ensure they do their best at all times especially in difficult market conditions.”
Mr Burton said the First National Awards are an important event as it presents an opportunity for members to come together and share their thoughts and views on the industry and events that affect them, such as the recent disasters across Australia.
“During trying times, like the recent floods and cyclones, our members band together and help each other where they can but often in large states and territories like ours it is only at these types of social events that they are able to come face to face with each other,” Mr Burton said.
“The same resilience we show to overcome these types of challenges is the same approach we take to our everyday work. While each member works autonomously, we know we are part of a larger group and collectively we are all striving for the one goal – a better network which can weather any storm and put our clients first”.
