Judging

The REINZ Awards for Excellence uphold the highest standards of judging, ensuring integrity, fairness, and industry expertise throughout the process.

For categories primarily focused on quantitative metrics, such as highest commission or sales volume, rigorous assessment criteria are applied to determine excellence.

In contrast, categories like Innovation, and Community Service rely on a qualitative assessment. Nominees provide detailed responses to specific questions, allowing our judges to delve into the nuances of each submission. To maintain consistency, nominations undergo a review process where our expert panel members will assess entries, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation.

In the event of a deadlock, the Chief Judge will assume responsibility for determining the winner, drawing upon the short-listed nominations and all available information contained in the submission. In some cases REINZ may choose to draw on the expertise of an external auditing consultancy.

For Residential Property Management award categories, a combination of quantitative key performance indicators and written responses form the basis of evaluation for judging.

Through this meticulous approach, the REINZ Awards for Excellence aim to honour exemplary achievements within the real estate industry, serving as a benchmark of recognition and inspiration for professionals across the industry.
