The most significant award, the MIEA National Real Estate Awards (NREA) is coming back this year to recognize the pinnacle of excellence and celebrate the outstanding achievements in the field of real estate throughout 2015.

Presented annually to Real Estate Agents (REA), Real Estate Firms and Real Estate Negotiators (REN), the awards is the most anticipated event in the industry. The winners are judged by independent judges based on real estate standards.

The result of the Awards will be announced at the Gala Dinner, which will be held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre on 1st October 2016. The event will be graced by Guest of Honour YB. Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani, Finance Minister II, in the presence of the President of the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents (BOVAEA) Datuk Faizan bin Abdul Rahman.

This is the 8th year since the advent of the first MIEA National Real Estate Awards in 2009. From only 10 categories in the inaugural year, the Awards has now increased to 19 categories in total to recognize those who excel in different areas. 31 submissions were received this year and there will be more than 20 winners to be recognized, each representing the outstanding performance in different category subsequently setting the yardstick in the industry.

Apart from the honours bestowed that night, the press coverage and national recognition they will gain through the Awards will definitely boost their business opportunities and widen their network. More importantly, it will strengthen public confidence, ease the recruitment for RENs and help them gain more respect among peers.

One of the more notable awards is the Million Dollar Roof Top award, presented to Estate Agents who have in their personal capacity collected a minimum of RM 1 million in professional fees in 2015.
