Trifecta for CBRE at 2013 REIQ Awards for Excellence

​Brisbane, 11 February 2013 - CBRE has scooped all three commercial titles at the 2013 REIQ Awards for Excellence.

In a clean sweep of the commercial categories, CBRE Brisbane was named Commercial Agency of the Year, Senior Hotels Director Wayne Bunz was named Commercial Salesperson of the Year and Riparian Plaza General Manager Kim Knox took out the Commercial Property Manager of the Year title.

Held on Friday at the Brisbane Hilton, the REIQ awards recognise outstanding achievements and innovation in all fields of real estate practice. All winners from the state awards will progress to the national REIA awards next month.

CBRE Queensland Senior Managing Director Bruce Baker attributed the company’s success at this year’s awards to the outstanding efforts of all staff across the Queensland business.

“Receiving three awards is a great accolade and one which recognises our commitment to delivering outstanding service and results for our clients,” Mr Baker said.

Mr Bunz leads CBRE’s Queensland Hotels brokerage division which specialises in the sale of all asset classes within the hospitality sector. He has over 30 years hotel industry experience having trained with the International Hyatt Hotel Group before moving into real estate.

Throughout Wayne’s career he has finalised transactions in excess of AU$1.5 billion and last year he was responsible for some of the country’s leading tourism transactions including the sales of Lennon Plaza in Brisbane and Novotel St Kilda in Melbourne as well as Dunk, Bedarra and Lindeman islands.

He is currently steering the campaign for one of Australia’s most recognisable tourism assets- Daydream Island in the Whitsundays. 

CBRE’s other individual award winner was Kim Knox, General Manager of the landmark Riparian Plaza tower in Brisbane. She is also a Director of CBRE’s Global Premier Properties Group and an executive committee member of the Brisbane Big City BBQ, an event which has raised circa $550,000 for Brisbane charities over the past seven years.

CBRE Brisbane Managing Director Jonathan O’Brien said; “This award recognises Kim’s passion and commitment to the property, tenants, owners and her team and is fitting recognition for her achievements in the field of property management and her contributions to the industry.”
