Australian Buyers Agent Awards return to find the industry’s best
The Australian Buyers Agent Awards return for 2027, putting the industry’s top performers in the running for national recognition across 26 categories spanning residential, commercial and specialist buyer advocacy. Submissions open now!
Real Estate Business (REB) and Smart Property Investment (SPI) are bringing back the Australian Buyers Agent Awards (ABAA), recognising the individuals and businesses setting the benchmark across the buyers’ agency profession.
As buyers take a more cautious approach to the market and become more selective in their purchasing decisions, reputation and proven expertise carry greater weight for buyer’s agents.
The awards give buyer’s agents an opportunity to put their results, expertise and client service in the spotlight.
Across 26 categories, the awards recognise excellence in property sourcing, research, due diligence, negotiation and acquisition, alongside the businesses and professionals supporting the industry.
The categories span residential investment, owner-occupier and commercial property, as well as leadership, innovation, technology and specialist buyer advocacy.
Individual categories include Buyers Agent of the Year – Residential PPOR, Buyers Agent of the Year – Residential Investment, Buyers Agent of the Year Commercial, Luxury Prestige Buyers Agent of the Year, First Home Buyer Specialist of the Year and Rising Star of the Year.
Group categories will recognise businesses across commercial and residential investment markets, alongside Diversified Buyers Agency of the Year and Start Up Buyers Agency of the Year.
Check all the categories here.
The awards will also recognise the wider industry, with categories celebrating administrators, research acquisition specialists, service providers, technology platforms, marketing campaigns and professional referral networks.
The 2027 awards are supported by platinum partner Duo Tax, gold partner BA Icon, and event partners Managed and Finni.
Finalists and winners will gain national recognition, giving them an opportunity to strengthen their professional reputations, build credibility with prospective clients and referral partners, and showcase their achievements to the wider property industry.
