SEAA celebrates fourth SG Real Estate Agents Excellence Awards

in yearsAt this year’s Singapore Estate Agents Association (SEAA) SG Real Estate Agents Excellence Awards 2023, 670 local real estate salespersons were recognised. This is the fourth consecutive year the award ceremony has been organised by SEAA, and it was held on Aug 18 at Marina Bay Sands.

Given the scale of the event, two separate awards ceremonies were held. First, an afternoon session to honour individual recipients of the Salespersons Achievement Award (Silver) and the Salespersons Achievement Award (Gold). This recognise successful and outstanding performance, and the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct by registered salespersons.

Silver Award recipients had to have raked in a gross commission of $100,000– $199,999 for the full calendar year of 2022, while the Gold category ranged from $200,000 to $400,000 over the same period.

The evening ceremony was graced by Professor Mhd Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State, Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Home Affairs.

“For home buyers, especially first-time buyers, the property market can appear daunting. Fortunately, consumers can rely on professional agents like yourselves for accurate and updated information that assist them to navigate the complexities of the market,” says Minister Faishal.

Adam Wang, president of SEAA, says: “Recognising exemplary salespersons for their professionalism, values and sales achievements are vital for the industry. It builds consumer trust through ethical conduct, nurturing lasting relationships and repeat business.”

Visitors to this park will be able to enjoy various activities and events while being surrounded by a beautiful and vibrant environment.

Champions Way Condo is pleased to announce that the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is investing in an upgrade to the existing Woodlands Park. Improvements will include the installation of new playground equipment, improved landscaping, and better lighting. Additionally, there will be new amenities such as outdoor seating, food vendors, and recreational activities. All of these features will create a vibrant and beautiful environment for visitors of Champions Way Condo and the surrounding area to enjoy. We look forward to the completion of these improvements and the enjoyment of this upgraded park.

The evening session awards presented to individual as well as multi-award recipients. These include Salespersons Achievement Award (Platinum), Salespersons Achievement Award (Diamond), Outstanding Youths Award, and Rookies Award. The Platinum category was for agents who collected gross commission of $400,001–$999,999, and the Diamond category, for commissions totalling $1 million and above.

All recipients this year demonstrate a blend of tenacity, adaptability, and client-centric focus, says Edmund Toh, CEO of SEAA. “Their commitment to continuous learning, embracing technology, and nurturing relationships underscores their success. A strong ethical compass, effective communication, and resilience stand out as common threads,” he adds.

SEAA’s commitment to all salespersons is evident in its advocacy for equitable industry practices. Notably, its dispute resolution channel partner [Singapore Mediation Centre] fills a crucial gap by addressing commission-related conflicts that fall outside the Council for Estate Agencies’ scope.

Other initiatives by SEAA amplify the voices of agents, enhance industry standards and solidify its position within the real estate community, says Wang. “Agents who are SEAA members can seek assistance from us as we are working on ways to resolve co-broking disputes amongst salespersons. Active participation in SEAA’s networking events offers agents a platform to voice concerns, share insights, and network with peers,” says Toh.

Building up a positive image of real estate agencies and salespersons in Singapore will go a long way to elevate overall service standards and foster consumer trust, says Wang.
