Openn Negotiation celebrated the best of the best at its second Excellence Awards on Thursday July 25.
Led by Peter Gibbons, Openn Negotiation Managing Director, it was an opportunity to celebrate not
just the finalists and the winners, but all agents who have decided to embrace technology and the need for
better transparency when it comes to buying and selling property in Australia.
This year was also the first in which we recognised the performance of agents from our eastern states and
inducted the first members into the Openn Masters group, recognising their efforts and skill in
the usage of the Openn Negotiation process.
Here's a sneak peak of some of the pictures from the evening:
