Nedbank Namibia recently hosted its real estate awards, where agent Lourette Liebenberg walked away with the Nedbank Central Estate Agent of the Year award. Andreya Pereira was the runner-up, while Rightmove Properties scooped the Estate Agency of the Year.  

The event was held to celebrate outstanding achievements and contributions made by players within the industry. The awards celebrated various categories, including Estate Agent of the Year and Estate Agency of the Year. Winners were recognised for their exceptional sales performance, dedication to client service, and contributions to the industry’s growth. 

Delivering the keynote address at the awards, Nedbank Head of Lending, Chane Isaaks emphasised the critical role of the real estate sector in domestic economic growth. “In this dynamic environment, real estate agents are not merely facilitators of transactions, they are the true architects of dreams and catalysts for change,” she said. 

“The current market dynamics have placed significant pressure on both property buyers and sellers, including high interest rates which have affected affordability. These challenges, however, also present opportunities for growth, and Nedbank Namibia remains committed to supporting the real estate sector through tailored financial solutions and strategic partnerships,” said Isaaks.

“While we at Nedbank Namibia focus on providing consumers with tailored financial solutions, real estate agents play a crucial role by offering valuable insights into the property market. Their knowledge of market conditions, property values, and industry trends help buyers and sellers to make informed decisions. They assist hardworking Namibians in finding suitable properties, negotiating deals, and guiding them through every step of the purchasing process.”
