BEST REAL ESTATE OF ORIGIN EVER
BY ALEX TILBURY
IT WAS A FAST AND FURIOUS REAL ESTATE OF ORIGIN THAT SAW MORE THAN 11,000 NEW APPRAISALS SECURED ACROSS AUSTRALASIA .
We regularly hold our Real Estate of Origin days to create some friendly rivalry between the states and New Zealand .
The ninth Real Estate of Origin was exceptional .
Telstra kindly donated more than $ 10,000 worth of Apple products as prizes to the winners including an iPad Pro , Magic Keyboard and Apple Pen plus two iPhone 14 Pros Max 128GBs plus Airpods , Apple Watches and Apple HomePod Minis .
New Zealand won the bragging rights this time with 4,079 appraisals , with Queensland pipped at the post with 3,834 on the appraisal leaderboard .

The Sydney team made a special effort this time , which saw 200 agents come together for the event and New South Wales managed to secure 1,209 new appraisals .
Ray White Maguires One team - which includes Mission Bay , St Heliers , Kohimarama and Stonefields - set a new record with a huge 914 new appraisals booked in , ahead of their Queensland office rivals in Narangba who managed to secure 538 new appraisals .
Individually , Chris Baxter of Ray White Maguires One team secured a staggering 472 appraisals on his own - an unheard of number in all the years the group has been running this event .
Business owner Wayne Maguire couldn ’ t be more proud of his whole team who work in Auckland ’ s stunning bayside suburbs , not far from the CBD .

Wayne spent the day running between his four offices - delivering champagne and chocolates to their hourly winners .
The call-a-thon was hosted by the now Head of Performance and Recognition Bianca Denham and Chief Strategy Officer for Real Estate , Mark McLeod in Sydney , with Tim Snell , CEO NSW | ACT , in Brisbane .
Bianca says the event was the best one yet with registrations through the roof . “ It was amazing seeing the New South Wales team really get around it , having 200 agents come together in this room is just phenomenal .”
She says prospecting is the engine of a real estate business . If we don ’ t have appraisals , we don ’ t get listings . If we don ’ t have listings , we can ’ t sell stock .
