Mr. Simister thanked all of the 1,081 CBRE Thailand staff for their commitment to high standards and hard work which produced the results.
Aliwassa Pathnadabutr, Managing Director of CBRE Thailand noted that the attention and effort put in across the board by both the agency and professional staff and their close working relationships were key to their market position. She also commented that in recent years the importance and development of electronic marketing, particularly the website was integral to the results and performance obtained.
CBRE colleagues in the region also competed in the awards and the Philippines office – which entered for the first time – received four 5-star awards out of four entries and went on to win the Best Lettings Agency in Asia Pacific. In total, CBRE took up 19 awards in the Asia Pacific region, at the national and Asia Pacific levels.

The awards are the largest and most prestigious awards granted on the international circuit. CBRE Thailand will be going forward as a representative for Asia Pacific for Best International Real Estate Agency and Best International Property Consultancy, competing against competitors worldwide at the International Property Awards Gala Dinner to be held later in the year.
