AIPP AWARDS
What do AIPP members winning industry awards
have to do with you? They must be doing something
right and could well be the type of company you
could do business with
he AIPP awards are now in their
fi fth year and continue to showcase
overseas property businesses that
T can demonstrate their excellence
in customer service before a
panel of independent judges.
These awards have real value for the consumer
because they put the buying experience at the heart
of the evaluation process with the judges placing
themselves in the position of you, the property buyer,
asking the crucial question: ‘How will this overseas
property company deliver the service I want?’
The AIPP awards are not looking at the villa with
the most innovative design or which development
has the best facilities, but instead focus on best
practice and companies doing their utmost to
protect clients’ interests.
The judges of the AIPP awards look at the level

of service provided, including the due diligence
process an agent undertakes before promoting
properties to their clients. Though you’ll always
carry out your own research, clearly you want to
deal with a business that can demonstrate they
have done their homework and have a strong
understanding of the properties and local market.
Judges also examine the marketing materials used
by entrants, looking at levels of transparency in
marketing messages and buyer information. There’s
also an award for staff training to reward the
business that can demonstrate they invest in their
employees to the benefi t of you, the client.
We’d like to take the opportunity to thank all
companies who chose to enter the AIPP awards
in 2012 and were confi dent enough to put their
businesses under the microscope; and of course,
congratulations to all our winners.
