Highest Commendation for Excellent Professionals
Speaker Nadine Worofka, Co-Founder and President at TrueLiving Realty, honored the determination of real estate practitioners, pressing on and pursuing greater heights of success despite the obstacles of the times.
“Everyone actually deserves an award for simply not giving up, for still standing strong and fighting for their goals. But I would especially like to honor and congratulate this year’s award winners. You’ve shown an outstanding drive and resilience,” she said.
As for the rest of the practitioners, Worofka offered a word of inspiration: “This is not the time to be discouraged, but [rather] to continue pursuing our visions this year.”
Meanwhile, Rose Morales, Senior Director, Head of Group Sales at Shang Properties, Inc. underscored the vital role brokers played in creating a thriving real estate sector amid the health crisis.
She mentioned, “The real estate industry has proven to be one of the more resilient and dynamic industries during the pandemic. This would not have been possible without the concerted efforts of all real estate brokers who are very passionate and determined in offering their products and services to the market.”
Another speaker in the awards ceremony underscored the resilience of the real estate industry.
Eddie Santos, Owner of a Master Franchise of REMAX Philippines, said, “The last two years have brought a great challenge to the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Viewing properties online has become the norm and we’re thankful that there are platforms like Lamudi. We’re also thankful that the real estate [brokerage] industry was one of the few industries that flourished. Proof of this was the fact that property prices scaled to greater heights in 2022.”
To unlock the countless opportunities in a thriving real estate sector, the speakers reminded brokers of timeless principles in the practice.
Ronel Suarez, Former President at City of Taguig Real Estate Board, said that it’s important to have partners that help improve one’s integrity, network, and learning.
Meanwhile, Zandro Gonzales, President at Property Hunter Realty, advised, “Remember to continue to polish and hone your skills, and more importantly, see other professionals as an inspiration. Each of us is blessed with different skills and strengths by our Creator, so embrace and perfect it. Make it your goal to serve others.”
