TORQUAY real estate agent Tim Carson has been recognised among the top five residential agents in Victoria at the REA Excellence Awards (AREAs).<\/p>\n

The McCartney Real Estate director came in at number four in the coveted annual awards which celebrate excellence throughout the property industry.<\/p>\n

Sales agents in each state were judged on measurable factors such as the number of properties sold, value of properties sold and agent ratings and reviews.<\/p>\n

Mr Carson said being among the 10 finalists in the Residential Agents Category was a huge honour and finishing in fourth place was completely unexpected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was blown away and really surprised, to be honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would never have thought I was in the top 10 real estate agents in the region, let alone the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a great honour out of the hundreds of agents throughout Victoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Carson said being a top 10 finalist was already a win and he was thrilled to take out fourth place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had finished in 10th spot, I would still have been absolutely rapt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Carson said the award was well-deserved recognition for everyone on the McCartney team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this award showcases why McCartney is doing so well and that is because of everyone on the team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a customer-focused agency, work as a team and we have a proven history of achieving great results.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough early 2020 was a little confronting, the real estate industry, especially in our part of the world, is quite resilient and has performed extremely well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Carson also thanked his wife Jo, and his three daughters, for their ongoing support, as well as his personal assistant, Kim Harrison-Riley.<\/p>\n

\u201cKim is an absolute superstar and should get as much recognition for this award as me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When it comes to what he loves about his career, Mr Carson said it was dealing with great people and some of the best properties along the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I really love about Torquay, Jan Juc, Bells and the Surf Coast generally is that everyone is friendly and everyone has moved down here for the right reasons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is what really motivates me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hardworking agent said it was an incredible time to be selling property on the coast with demand at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in real estate for a long time and I\u2019ve never seen it like this and will never probably see it again,\u201d Mr Carson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an exceptional time to be a vendor \u2026 it is unbelievable what we are seeing at the moment and I don\u2019t see it slowing down anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
