About the Awards

What are the real estate excellence awards?

The World Real Estate Excellence Awards are the Golden Tree Awards programme for real estate. They recognise property businesses for the quality of their developments, the service they give buyers, sellers and tenants, and the way they design, manage and invest in property — from residential and commercial developers to agencies, brokers, investment firms, property managers, architects and interior designers.

Nominations are open to any country. Each one is entered in a category that fits the work and at the level that fits its market — city, country, regional or world — and reviewed on its evidence by the Jury team or the Management of Golden Tree. So far, 109 real estate companies from 39 countries have been recognised in the programme.

Looking for something specific? The real estate awards page covers the full category range for property businesses worldwide, the luxury real estate award covers high-end developers, agencies and design studios, and the Dubai real estate awards page covers the UAE market. Nomination is free — start a nomination.

Real Estate Guide

Real estate excellence awards: which award fits your property business?

The World Real Estate Excellence Awards cover the whole property sector, but most businesses only need one or two categories. The quickest way to choose is to start from what you want recognised — the company, a single project, a team or an individual — and from the market you serve.

Developers

Developers can be recognised as a company (Best Real Estate Developer, Best Property Development Company) or for a project (Best Residential Project, Best Commercial Project). Segment categories recognise residential, commercial, sustainable, innovative and emerging developers. The best property developer award page explains the developer categories in detail.

Agencies and brokers

Agencies enter categories such as Best Real Estate Agency and Best Emerging Real Estate Agency; brokers can be recognised for residential, commercial, off-plan or luxury work. Individual agents and brokers have their own categories — see the real estate agent of the year page.

Luxury property

High-end developers, agencies and design studios compete in luxury categories rather than against the general market. The luxury real estate award page lists them.

Investment, advisory and management

Investment companies, advisory firms, consultancies, property managers and facility managers each have their own categories, judged on client outcomes and the quality of the service.

Choosing the level

City and country levels recognise a business in its own market — often the right choice for agencies and developers with local buyers. Regional and world levels compare businesses across borders. For property businesses in the UAE, the Dubai real estate awards page explains the city and country options; for a full overview of the categories, see the real estate awards page.

What are the World Real Estate Excellence Awards?

The World Real Estate Excellence Awards are the Golden Tree Awards programme for real estate. They recognise developers, agencies, brokers, investment and advisory firms, property managers, construction firms, architects and interior designers in any country, at city, country, regional or world level.

Is it free to nominate?

Yes. Nomination is free — there is no nomination fee and no registration fee. The Free plan covers one award programme in one category at City level, with a mandatory Winner Package order if you are selected as a winner. Optional paid plans are listed on the nomination plans page.

Are individual brokers eligible separately from brokerages?

Yes. Individual agents and brokers can be recognised in their own categories, separately from their agency. See the real estate agent of the year page.

Can specific projects be nominated?

Yes. Project categories such as Best Residential Project and Best Commercial Project recognise individual developments on their own merit.

Are developers from any country eligible?

Yes. The programme is international. Real estate companies from 39 countries have been recognised so far, and businesses from any country can be nominated.

Is there a luxury real estate category?

Yes. Luxury developers, agencies, brokers and design studios can enter luxury categories. The luxury real estate award page lists them.

How are winners selected?

Each nomination is checked for eligibility and completeness. The Jury team or the Management of Golden Tree then reviews the evidence — projects, service, client outcomes, innovation, sustainability and market standing — and selects the winners.

Are sustainability achievements recognised?

Yes. Categories such as Best Sustainable Real Estate Developer and Best Environmental Friendly Commercial Project recognise sustainability, and sustainable practice counts in other relevant categories too.

Can architects and interior designers nominate themselves?

Yes. Self-nominations are welcome, as are nominations by a colleague, client or partner.

What does the Winner Package include?

The Winner Package is required to activate the winner title: ordering it grants the right to use the award name and winner title. The winner package page lists what it includes.
