Network & Agency Excellence

4 categories

Major Network of the Year — 40 Offices or More

For established real estate networks comprising 40 or more independently operated offices or agency businesses under a common network brand.

Criteria & eligibility

40+ independently operated offices or agency businesses.

Judges assess large-scale network performance: commercial performance, member-business success, support infrastructure, strategy and brand, governance and professional standards, and industry and community contribution.

Each category is judged against the structure and operating model it is designed to recognise. Raw size alone does not determine the outcome.

Agent Network of the Year

For real estate networks built primarily around individual agents, teams or independently branded agency businesses supported through a central agency, brand or platform rather than a traditional office network.

Criteria & eligibility

Built primarily around individual agents, teams or independently branded operators supported through a central agency, brand or platform rather than a traditional office network.

Judges assess agent productivity and performance, active-member growth and retention, support and development, platform value and economics, consumer and professional outcomes, and innovation and network contribution.

Each category is judged against the structure and operating model it is designed to recognise. Raw size alone does not determine the outcome.

Raw agent headcount alone is not treated as evidence of performance; active-agent productivity and retention matter.
