RE/MAX
RE/MAX of Southern Africa celebrated their agents’ success at a series of glamourous three-course lunches held across the country throughout March. At these events, agents were recognised for their hard work in 2023 and received either a certificate or a trophy, depending on their level of earnings.
“There are various accolades an agent can achieve within the RE/MAX network. Despite 2023 being a tough real estate market, many RE/MAX agents still managed to walk away with impressive achievements. I am incredibly proud of all our agents’ achievements. The success of our brand is built off the hard work and passion of each and every one of our agents,” says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
The Award roadshow kicked off at Grand West in the Western Cape, with over 350 attendees. The next event was held at the Boardwalk Hotel in Gqeberha, with over 200 attendees.

“A special mention also needs to be made to Deanne Hamilton on earning the prestigious Luminary of Distinction Award, which is one of the highest achievements a person can earn within the RE/MAX network. She achieved this in March 2024, and we were able to recognise her at the KZN Award Lunch. She is the second person in SA to receive this exclusive award, and she joins Gerlinde Moser, who received this honour in 2017. Well done on this incredible achievement,” says Goslett.

It has been a privilege to celebrate these achievements with them at our Awards Events across the country,” he concludes.
