Moreover, Property Finder awarded Brokerages that deliver quality every year through ' Quality Brokerage of the Year , in addition to other categories, including ' House of SuperAgents, ' companies who lead the way with a high number of SuperAgents, ' Best Developer Project, ' covering real estate projects that are a class apart, through innovation and architecture, ' Community Hero, ' honouring those who give back to the community with the initiatives they have in place, and ' Rising Star ' companies who have joined the platform last year and made great progress in growth and quality in such a short time.
Michael Lahyani, CEO and founder of Property Finder , said:“We once again gathered at the iconic Burj Khalifa for Property Finder's ninth Edition to celebrate the best of the real estate industry. Through Property Finder Awards, we are awarding the talents who contribute to making propertyfinder.ae a better experience for the millions of visitors who come to our website and app. Those who strive to produce high-quality listings with accurate information and unique pictures hire agents with integrity and a passion for excellence, fight fake listings, and refuse to adhere to dishonest practices. We designed the event to boost consumer trust and credibility by motivating the industry to focus on quality.”
Lahyani continued :“2022 has been a record-breaking year for the UAE's real estate market. Adding onto its incredible growth, UAE is on an ongoing mission to attract more talent through its initiatives. The country is creating more opportunities for individuals and businesses in the real estate sector. This is why we have dedicated this year's Awards to the country that's given us all so much and continues to give year on year – this wouldn't have been possible without the wise leadership of the UAE.”
Scott Bond, Property Finder UAE's Country Manager, said: “Our mission at Property Finder is to empower property seekers to find their dream home. We can't do that without the support and partnership of brokers and developers.
