A Proud Moment for Orana Property Group – Ali Wins Business Development Manager of the Year at the 2024 REIWA Awards for Excellence
We are thrilled to announce that in November 2024, Ali, our Business Development Manager since the founding of Orana Property, was named Business Development Manager of the Year at the prestigious REIWA Awards for Excellence.
This award, one of the most respected accolades in Western Australia’s real estate industry, recognises outstanding professionalism, ethical conduct, and exceptional achievements. For Ali, it is a fitting acknowledgment of her dedication and the extraordinary contributions she has made to our clients, team, and business.
Why Ali Stood Out …
Ali’s success is driven by her unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional service, maintaining the highest professional standards, and fostering business growth through innovation and integrity.
With a hands-on approach, Ali has repeatedly transformed complex situations into positive outcomes. For example, when an interstate investor sought to enter the WA market, Ali guided the process from start to finish, including coordinating property improvements and ensuring the property was ready for a tenant to move in. In another instance, she stepped in to resolve a management crisis on the day of settlement, ensuring a seamless transition for a new client while delivering swift solutions to unexpected challenges. These examples showcase her problem-solving skills and ability to exceed expectations.
Upholding professional and ethical standards, Ali is known for her honesty and integrity, even when faced with resistance. In one instance, when a client had unrealistic expectations about rental returns, Ali provided evidence-based insights to guide them toward a successful outcome. Her ability to balance diplomacy with professionalism is a hallmark of her success.
With a strategic and passionate approach, Ali has significantly expanded Orana Property’s portfolio. Over the past year, she has achieved a 40% organic increase in our rent roll, led the successful acquisition and integration of a new portfolio with a 95% retention rate, and built strong referral partnerships across Australia. Her work in enhancing operational systems, including cybersecurity improvements and streamlined processes, has positioned Orana Property as a leader in secure and efficient property management.
Beyond her client-focused role, Ali has played a key part in supporting and mentoring our team. She has developed systems and procedures that ensure consistency across operations, trained new team members, and contributed to team-building initiatives, all of which have strengthened our workplace culture and efficiency.
Ali’s recognition at the REIWA Awards is a testament not only to her personal achievements but also to the values we uphold at Orana – professionalism, excellence, and a client-first focus. This prestigious award reinforces our commitment to setting the standard in property management and delivering outstanding results for our clients.
We are incredibly proud of Ali and the positive impact she continues to have on our business and the real estate community. Congratulations, Ali, on this remarkable achievement — you truly embody the spirit of excellence that defines Orana Property Group!
