Winning this award capped off what was an already successful evening for the Barry Plant Group, being named finalists in the Best Boutique Network category (fewer than 100 offices), and the Best Training and Education.

CEO Mike McCarthy and Property Management Consultant Yvonne Martin were delighted with the win.

“We have more than 26,000 properties under-management in Victoria and we knew we were the biggest in the State, however we were absolutely thrilled to be named number one in the country against some tough national competition,” Mike said. “I believe our success and growth is as a result of the professional level of service and training for all property management staff that has been implemented throughout the group.”

The property management award completes an amazing year for the Group, after we were named Australia’s Number One Real Estate Company for sales by the leading national industry publication, Real Estate Business Magazine, which developed the AREAs for 2013.

Stacey Moseley, Editor of Real Estate Business magazine said the AREA’s are in a unique position to recognise the industry’s leading agents and real estate groups Australia-wide.

“The Australian Real Estate Awards highlights what it takes to be successful, and those agents and groups that have been able to adapt to changing market conditions have ultimately come out on top. The Awards represent the pinnacle of professionalism within the industry, driving the real estate sector to new levels of excellence.”
