The Agency Awards recognise third-party brokerage activity. To be included in the Agency Awards, firms must be primarily in the business of brokerage, either as a tenant rep, a landlord rep (or both) or an investment sales rep. Firms that are primarily owners of real estate are excluded. If the agent is employed by the owner, property manager, asset manager, fund manager, or developer of the property, or if they or their firm has any direct or indirect ownership of a property, they will not be credited for that transaction. Brokerage agents and firms who lease properties for their own family members or corporate parents will not receive credit for transactions in those properties.
