Century 21 New Zealand has announced its real estate winners for the last quarter of 2019, which finished up particularly strongly for key offices in Waikato, Central Wellington, and East Auckland.
“Te Awamutu had a great fourth quarter with local real estate legend Gaile Para of Gadsby Realty taking out the Gold Award for sales. Te Awamutu goes from strength to strength, with the office wonderfully rebranded and the new franchise ownership working out really well.

Ms Mayne said the Central Wellington franchise finished the decade the strongest, with First Choice Realty winning Top Office for the Quarter for both Units and GCC.

What’s more, Annette Edwards of Edwards Realty won a Quality Service Award, while Administration Team Member of the Quarter went to Alex Zheng also from Edwards Reality. Molly McLean of Premier in Turangi won Personal/Sales Assistant of the Quarter.
