FIRST National Real Estate Tweed City has been rewarded for its persistence and commitment at the Queensland Gala Awards for 2010.

Principal Paul Charlton has commended his office on an exceptional year, despite the unfavourable market conditions.

“Last year was a relatively slow market for property, but our staff were still able to deliver services beyond customer expectations and they kept extremely busy, evidence of how good systems and hard work pay off,” Mr Charlton 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.”

First National Real Estate Tweed City received honours for the number of property managements gained for a small office in the combined and residential categories.

Mr Charlton said the First National Awards were an important event as they provided 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 to help each other where they could,” Mr Charlton said.

“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.”

“We are all striving for the one goal – a better network which can weather any storm and put our clients first.”
