Speaker 2 (00:00):
Good morning. It's Cam and Maddie Maddy Inn for Renee

Burgh at Northbourne Village by J. W. Landon it's selling
now down.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
In Hobart this weekend. We'll put not this weekend, this
week I should say we're on the weekend. Now. There
was the ANSID Real Estate Institute Australia one hundred. Now
a part of this was some awards that Cameberra had
a bit of a contingency going to Cam. Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Absolutely so the Real Estate Institute we know have all
represented by states and territories and we are here in
Canberra as well. They do such an amazing job and
so as a part of their big conference and everything,
there was the big gala awards night on Thursday night
and we were successful. I want to say good morning
to Jane Mackin from Woden L J. Hooker. Also the

(00:49):
team from Collier's as well picked up a couple of gongs.
But right now we welcome a guest who also was
a winner.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
That is correct. Hannah gil director of Property Management at
the Property Collective and President of Real Estate Institute of
the Act.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Good morning, Hannah, good morning guys, thanks having me back
on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Well, congratulations first off for getting to the awards, being nominated,
but also winning as well.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Thank you as a pretty special event to be.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
A part of. And now why is it so important
to have these big national events taking place?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, I think I mean, first and foremost, it's an
opportunity for collaboration and I think particularly this year, as
you've touched on one hundred years of the Real Estate
Institute of Australia plus fifty years of the Real Estate
Institute the Act, so an opportunity for reflection and celebration
and I think there's a lot of hard work that
goes into being in a real estate role every day
and it's a really good opportunity to celebrate that.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
As I said short while ago, there was many agents
and industry types who went down to Tasmania for this event.
What were the two awards that you took out.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Hannah, Yeah, wearing Property Collective hat. We were lucky enough
to take Current Property Management Team of the Year and
Jared Kirchner won Business Development Manager here.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, so good. And so as you're all down there
speaking to other agents from around Australia. What was everyone
else talking about through the event? What's the number one
thing agents are talking about at the moment?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Look, I think there was a real theme. We're just
trying to continue to lift the standards of professionalism and
adapt into the changing landscape we see within the industry
for things like the emerging AI capabilities and anti money
laundering and the evolution of how we work with our
clients to get the best result for them was probably
the main focus of the event.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Now, so we had our local services and agents and
offerings up against all the other biggest cities. How do
you think Camber real Estate matches in the standard of
quality with those biggert cities like Sydney Melbourne for example.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I mean there is a stading bias. I think we
will and truly compete in that national space and I
think the awards recognition on the night was a real
testament to that. We actually took our act took out
seven of the twenty five awards, which is the most
of any state or territory at the event. We also
had Alex Brown representing US as a finalist at the
Austro's Auctioneering, so across the board the act represented really strongly,
and I think that reflected as the award recognition on

(02:58):
the night.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, and of course you know there's representing different brands
up here in Canberra, but no doubt you sort of
you know, everyone knows everyone. You all came together and
had a great night and Alick does such a good
job as well, and he's part of our show on
Mixed one or six point three. So the feeling was
really good down there, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, it was a great feeling. I mean, we love
seeing one another win and we love seeing the act
represent strongly. So certainly health helps us, you know, build
on our professional standards and continue to feel confidence for
our customers. I think seeing those results and.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
It feels it makes us feel good knowing that we're
can Baron's and we're doing so well at all these
bigger wards. I feel, no matter what industry or sport
or anything that you're at, if you find out a
can Baron beat other states and territories for a reward,
yeah we got it. We're pretty good.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's on display up here. Of course. You know, I'm
in Brisbane at the moment for Magic Round and anyone
with green on it's like up the milk and you're
all laughing. You don't know these people, but that feeling of,
you know, representing camera at the national level is just
so warsome. So well done, Hannah, thank you, you appreciate
that
