Eligibility criteria

During each eligibility period, the salesperson with the highest overall listing engagement compared to the market in their region will win the award.

Awards will be given to the top salesperson in each of the following regions: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Taranaki, Manawatū-Whanganui, Wellington, Nelson/Tasman, Marlborough, West Coast, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.
