Award organizers said the work of real estate agents was being acknowledged on the regional stage for the first time ever at the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards with the introduction of the Best Real Estate Agencies Southeast Asia category. Eight of the region’s leading agencies were honoured, with Thu Thiem Real Estate representing Vietnam.

"We’re excited to be announced the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2018 winners. They come from Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia," said Matthew Campbell, CEO of Dot Property. 

"We take a different approach to selecting winners. Developers, projects and agencies are not pitted against one another, but measured against set criteria. This means winners are ultimately selected on their ability to meet and exceed each criteria," he said.

Many business leaders representing developers, projects and agencies join the event.
