Tony Williamson is an old hand in putting Cairns on national and global radars through the leading role he takes in promoting its real estate market, and now he’s done it through being recognised for his business prowess and leadership in real estate.
Mr Williamson was this week named a finalist for the 2016 Real Estate Business Awards in partnership with realestate.com.au.
Nine of the best in the business across Australia vie for the Principal of the Year – Regional title, which will be announced at The Star in Sydney on Thursday 16th June. On the night, winners of the 27 individual categories will automatically be shortlisted for the coveted REB Excellence award.
The Real Estate Business Awards are the premier benchmark for quality and recognition in the Australian real estate industry.
