Nathan Eades named Sales Broker of the Year at industry awards ceremony

In just a few years he’s established himself as one of the best in the business, and Nathan Eades received official confirmation when he was named Sales Broker of the Year by the Australian Resident Accommodation Managers Association’s (ARAMA).

At a special event held in Brisbane, Nathan was presented with the award which recognises the broker who makes the most significant contribution to the success of the management rights industry which generates $55.5 billion to the Australian economy annually.

“It’s a real honour to be recognised by the industry body that represents not just the management rights operators, but all of us that work within the industry,” Nathan said after the receiving the award.

“ARAMA is a not for profit organisation that dedicates itself to its members in the management rights industry and (ARAMA CEO) Trevor Rawnsley and his team of representatives around the country do an amazing job,” he said.

“I think in the last two years we’ve really been behind ARAMA and what they can do, not just for us, in that they’ve been able to provide a really good management rights induction program which has helped the new operators on their path to success in their new businesses.”

Trevor Rawnsley said the Broker of the Year Award was designed to reward and highlight the professional skills and experience within the industry as well as recognise people who make a significant contribution.

Mr Rawnsley was full of praise for Nathan, a Brisbane management rights specialist at ResortBrokers, and said he was leading real and positive change within the management rights industry.

“This is an industry that relies on new members to keep it fresh and alive and ResortBrokers, and Nathan Eades in particular, has always provided great support to ARAMA and our members,” Mr Rawnsley said.

Nathan Eades is now one of the most prolific management rights agents in Australia and has established himself as one of the most respected and hard working professionals in the business. He has successfully settled on more than 60 properties in just five years with ResortBrokers with a total value of more than $130 million.

ResortBrokers Managing Director Trudy Crooks said the award was a fitting recognition for years of hard work and delivering and exceeding the expectations of all clients.

“His attention to detail, tenacity and willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ for clients are his key trademarks. I am not surprised he won this accolade,” Ms Crooks said.

ARAMA also presented an award for Legal Firm Of The Year which was won by Mahoneys, one of the country’s leading specialists in the management rights industry.

“This is something that will always take pride of place with us and it’s a great honour,” said founding partner John Mahoney.

ARAMA’s mission is to serve the corporate and industry needs of members in order that ARAMA can properly represent the interests of all stakeholders and the resident accommodation industry as a whole.
