RE/MAX Malta has recently organised its annual convention, which brought together esteemed associates from across the region to celebrate their achievements and acknowledge exceptional performance within the real estate industry over 2023.
This year’s convention, departing from the traditional gala format, embraced a more dynamic and interactive approach, fostering engagement and collaboration among attendees.
The convention was presided over by TV and radio personality Keith Demicoli, who served as the master of ceremonies.
The event also featured a keynote speech by world-renowned RE/MAX Collection trainer Baris Kilicarslan, an industry expert known for his expertise in real estate trends and strategies. Other than RE/MAX, some of Barış’s clients include Hilton, HP, Vodafone, Ferrero, Bosch and Hyundai. He is also the author of a bestselling book titled Codes of Sales.
During the event, Kilicarslan shared valuable insights and inspiration with attendees, offering advice to how to navigate the evolving landscape of the local real estate market.
This year’s convention introduced a set of new awards, recognising the highest contract-closing associates and offices, further elevating the prestige of the event and honouring outstanding achievements within the RE/MAX network.
Attendees pointed to the outstanding standards to which ‘Celebrating Excellence’ was organised and executed, showcasing a dedicated focus on detail and a commitment to providing an exceptional experience for all participants.
Philip Incorvaja of RE/MAX Specialists − Tigné Point emerged as the recipient of the Highest Service Fees Generated Award in the sales division, while Malcolm Caruana of RE/MAX Crown Letting − Sliema clinched the title in the letting division.
RE/MAX Specialists − Tigné Point, RE/MAX Crown Letting − Sliema, and RE/MAX Superior − Fgura emerged as frontrunners on numerous occasions, underscoring their exemplary performance and stellar contributions throughout the year.
Furthermore, the event was marked by a poignant moment as Josie Theuma, a dedicated member of the company for two decades, bid farewell upon his retirement. Amid an emotional atmosphere, he received a standing ovation from the crowd before proceeding to recognise the group’s top performers of 2023, categorising them into bronze, silver, gold, platinum and, most notably, the diamond performance achievers.
