Following on from its success in the 2011 awards, the Surfers Paradise offi ce was again named Top Residential Offi ce – Settled Commissions, with agent Michael Wil-lems (Surfers Paradise) taking out the Top Performer – Settled Commissions number one spot.

Michelle McLeod from Ray White Toow-ong was named Salesperson of the Year, with the award topping off an exciting 2012 so far.

Mrs McLeod was also recently awarded the 2012 REIQ Residential Salesperson of the Year and said the double recognition was an honour.

“To be held in such high regard among my

peers is very humbling,” she said.“I know it is recognition for not only the

last year but for the culmination of the 15 years I have been laying the foundations of my career and aiming to provide all my clients with ‘six star service’.”

The Ray White New Farm offi ce had a successful night with Haesley Cush named Principal of the Year and Mary McLean Best New Talent - Administration.

Mr Cush said he worked to create a work atmosphere that was welcoming for staff, as well as clients.

“You are really only as strong as the team around you and I work to create the environ-ment I like and hope everyone likes to work in as well,” he said.

Ray White New Farm agent Matt Lancashire was awarded The Courier-Mail

Excellence in Print Media, Excellence in Marketing – Property Profi le and also ranked number two for sales in Queensland.

Mr Lancashire jumped from number seven in 2011 to number two on the Individual – Settled Commissions list and said the result was due to hard work.

“It’s been a big year and my team and I have worked really hard to do the best for our clients,” he said.

“One thing we did was listened to what our clients wanted and we had to work that little bit harder.”

Other standout winners on the night were Matthew Abboud (Paddington) for Excel-lence in Marketing – Personal Profi le, Paul Stirling for the Max White Award and Colin Walsh (CBD Residential) for Excellence in Auction – Salesperson.
