A luxury real estate award for developers, agencies, brokers and design studios working in high-end homes, villas, branded and premium residences — entered through the World Real Estate Excellence Awards, in any country.
✓ Free to nominate · No nomination fee · No registration fee
A luxury real estate award recognises the businesses behind high-end property: the developers who build premium homes and residences, the agencies and brokers who sell and lease them, and the architects and interior designers who shape them. At Golden Tree, luxury categories sit within the World Real Estate Excellence Awards, the Golden Tree Awards programme for the property sector.
Luxury property is judged on different terms from the mass market. Design, materials, location, privacy, service and the experience of a small number of discerning buyers matter more than volume. That is why luxury developers, agencies and studios compete in their own categories rather than against general real estate businesses.
Across Golden Tree award programmes, 29 luxury property companies from 16 countries have been recognised so far. Nomination is free, and the Jury team or the Management of Golden Tree reviews every eligible nomination on its evidence. Start a nomination.
The World Real Estate Excellence Awards covers the whole property sector. This page focuses on its luxury segment. For the full range of developer, agency, broker, investment and property management categories, see the real estate awards page; for property businesses in Dubai and the UAE, see the Dubai real estate awards.
Luxury categories recognise work across the high-end segment: luxury and premium residential developments, villas and private homes, branded and serviced residences, luxury agencies and brokers, and the architecture, interior design and landscape studios that create luxury living spaces.
A luxury developer can be recognised for the company as a whole or for a single project, such as Best Residential Project — Luxury. Agencies and brokers are recognised for their luxury sales and client service, and design studios for luxury interiors and villas. Each entry is compared with similar businesses at the level chosen — city, country, regional or world.
Luxury buyers are few, well informed and often international. They look for evidence of quality before they view a property or appoint an agent, and recognition from an international award programme is one of the signals they can check.
A winner title gives high-end buyers an independent reason to choose your residences or your agency.
A win is news to share with clients, partners and the property and lifestyle press in your market.
With the Winner Package, the winner title and award name can be used on brochures, listings, show-home displays and campaigns.
Recognition supports conversations with landowners, investors, hospitality operators and design partners.
Recognition rewards the design, sales and delivery teams and helps attract talent to the luxury segment.
Winners are celebrated at the Golden Tree Awards gala in Dubai alongside winners from every award programme.
Any business working in high-end property, in any country, can be nominated — by itself or by a colleague, client or partner.
Developers of luxury apartments, villas, private estates and premium mixed-use residences.
Agencies, brokers and advisers specialising in high-value homes, villas and the luxury segment.
Studios creating luxury residential and villa interiors.
Architecture and engineering consultancies designing high-end residential property.
Companies designing and building gardens and outdoor spaces for luxury homes.
Individual developments entered for the quality of the project itself.
These luxury categories have been awarded in Golden Tree award programmes. Most can be entered at city, country, regional or world level.

Four steps from nomination to recognition.
Complete the free online nomination form and choose a luxury category. The awards team then guides you through the supporting information — project descriptions, photographs and results.
Each nomination is checked for completeness and matched to the right luxury category and competition level.
The Jury team or the Management of Golden Tree reviews the evidence: design and build quality, materials and finishes, location and amenities, client experience and the business's standing in the luxury segment.
Winners are notified, published in the winners directory and celebrated at the Golden Tree Awards gala in Dubai. See past gala moments.
Describe what makes the residences or interiors exceptional — design, craftsmanship, setting, privacy, amenities and service — rather than price alone.
Professional photographs of completed homes, interiors and show units help the review far more than renderings.
Luxury buyers expect a tailored service. Describe how you look after them before, during and after the sale or handover.
A boutique agency may be best served at city level, a developer with projects in several markets at regional or world level. The awards team can advise.
