Property Frontiers Awarded in OPP Awards Best Agent Category

Online, November 23, 2009 (Newswire.com) - International Property Investment Consultancy Property Frontiers has been recognised as one of the best estate agents in the world, by the Overseas Property Professional industry

awards 2009, judged at the end of last month.

In the Best Estate Agents category, the winner was Atlantic Estate Agency (Portugal), and Property Frontiers was Highly Commended -- not bad considering the awards are entered by

agents from all corners of the world.

The judges comments were: "Property Frontiers has built up an excellent reputation in this market for honesty and transparency, and has been asked to act as master agent on

several developments."

"It is nice to get some recognition, but we don't do what we do for the awards, we do it for our clients. We have seen a lot of "investment consultancies" come and go in a surprisingly

short space of time. So for us, the biggest award is the fact that we are still here, still standing tall, still growing, and still sourcing the best overseas property investment opportunities

on the global market for our clients," said Ray Withers, Property Frontiers director.

It is even more special that Property Frontiers have won this award this year, because, according to the judges the standard of entry was much higher than last year.
"Feedback from judges was that the standard was much higher than last year," said Alex Evans, Group Editorial Director of OPP and chair of the judging panel. "With entries from a

broad cross-section of the industry - including agents, developers, introducer networks, media owners, and a variety of associated services - judges remarked that they had a real

sense of an industry maturing, innovating and adapting to a new market."

"Despite the downturn, the industry's most pro-active and innovative property companies submitted some exceptional entries for this year's OPP Industry Awards according to judges,"

says the opening line of the official press release.

The Judges of this year's awards were: Thijs Stoffer, president of ICREA; Paul Owen, chief executive of the AIPP; Ian Tonge, chairman of NAEA International; John Sebree, vice

president of policy at the Florida Association of Realtors; Paul Gardner Bougaard, chief executive of the Resort Developers Organisation and head of fractional body FSOTA; Janet

Branton, head of the international division of the National Association of Realtors; Graham Norwood, property journalist and author; Bernadette Costello, freelance journalist, PR and

former editor of OPP; Tricia Topping, chief executive of PR consultancy TTA Group; and Tom Nutley, president of Reed Travel Exhibitions.
