“I am so proud to announce that Laguna Real Estate was named the WINNER of the The REIQ Awards For Excellence in not just ONE, but TWO categories!” Olivier Miller, Principal of Laguna Real Estate commented, “Our business is built around delivering excellence in real estate, and that is one of the reasons we enter the REIQ Awards each year. To be pitted and judged by our peers drives us to continually embrace the ever changing landscape of real estate.”

The competition was strong, with 106 finalists across individual, agency and external categories.
