Barfoot & Thompson named best in Asia Pacific
In a New Zealand first, we've beaten out stiff international competition to win two major Asia Pacific categories at the 2016-2017 International Property Awards.
About the International Property Awards
The International Property Awards recognise the highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real estate industry.
The Awards are open to residential and commercial property professionals from around the globe. Competition between entrants in the Asia Pacific region is strong, with companies from around 25 countries vying for recognition across every category.
More than 70 experts are involved in a meticulous judging process covering every aspect of the property business.
Barfoot & Thompson won the following awards:
Best Real Estate Agency - Asia Pacific
In recognition of being the leading real estate provider in the Asia Pacific region, based on a wide range of criteria including service delivery, marketing and innovation.
Best Lettings Agency - Asia Pacific
In recognition of providing the best property management services in the Asia Pacific region.
Recognising our commitment to excellence on the international stage
"We are a family business in a remote corner of the world, but our win shows that we can compete on the world stage when it comes to real estate," says Managing Director Peter Thompson.
"We are extremely proud to be recognised by our peers for the international standard of service our clients receive, something many home-grown businesses aspire to. New Zealand produces excellent business people, and I'm fortunate to be surrounded by people who are driven, ingenious and authentic. This is because of where we come from, not in spite of it," said Mr Thompson.
