Karl Latham ELITE REAL ESTATE 86 Woodward Street, Edge Hill • 0403 887 645 www.eliteproperty.com.au
Karl Latham of Elite Real Estate has the distinct honour of being the only person in Cairns to have achieved the ultimate accolade at the recent Queensland’s real estate A-List awards.
Every year you learn something new.
This year was the fourth consecutive year Karl has won the prestigious award, which has only been in existence for four years. He is one of only 15 agents in the state who have achieved this high distinction since the awards’ inception. “It was absolutely great to be acknowledged four years in a row,” he said. “I won’t be eligible again as it’s only open to real estate agents, and I’ve since become a business owner (co-owner of Elite Real Estate with Troy McGuane).” The A-List, which is not self-nominated, recognises the top one per cent of real estate performers in the state. It’s based on the agents’ sales activities, listings, marketing and method of sales. Each year only 150 agents out
of Queensland’s 18,000 registered salespeople make the esteemed list. Karl, who was named the A-List Best Marketing Agent last year, entered the real estate industry in 2008 with PRD Nationwide, which became Elite in 2011. He quickly rose in the ranks to become Associate Director of Sales before taking over at the helm with Mr McGuane earlier this year. The A-List awards ceremony in Brisbane also included a day-long conference that featured guest speakers who shared their wealth of information of the industry. “Every year you learn something new,” he said. “It was really great to be part of it again this year, even though it’ll be my last year.”
