| 81 T T Kim Newth Cameron Bailey does it again... Cameron Bailey of Harcourts Gold Papanui has taken out top spot for Overall Residential Salesperson of the Year at the 2025 REINZ Awards for Excellence. PROPERTY Harcourts Gold - Cameron Bailey For the third year in a row, Cameron Bailey of Harcourts Gold Papanui has taken out top spot for Overall Residential Salesperson of the Year at the 2025 REINZ Awards for Excellence. Harcourts Gold Papanui is also celebrating success in winning the REINZ Award for Residential Large Office of the Year for the third consecutive year. Adding to the accolades, Cameron won the 2025 excellence award for highest sales volume. Cameron has made a big impact through the years as part of the Harcourts Gold franchise, becoming a partner in the company in 2009. Twenty years after starting his career in residential sales, Cameron is truly at the top of his profession. Award-winning success like this in 2025 is particularly noteworthy, given the prevailing subdued mood in the property market over the past year. “It’s a wonderful testament that we’re running a really good business and looking after clients really well the whole way - from the moment they list their home with us to the moment we sell it,” says Cameron. “Getting good sales and good prices in a tougher market is the art of real estate.” While it’s easy to focus on this awards success, Cameron notes a lot of hard work sits behind that. As he observes, success also takes a team effort. “I’m lucky to have a wonderful team of personal assistants and sales consultants working with me. Like all businesses, your results echo around the marketplace. People can see we’re getting good results and doing a good job – they would not be recommending us otherwise. The biggest clap on the back is when people refer us to friends and family and colleagues to sell a property. It’s how we’ve built a great business.” Harcourts Gold Papanui is an auction-driven business known for its high performance culture that puts people first. “When you do that and work really hard, you get good results.” With the arrival of spring, Cameron says more people are looking for guidance on how to sell, how to achieve great prices, what to buy and how much they should pay. They are turning to Harcourts Gold’s experienced team and trusting in the process. When Cameron looks back on the past year, it’s not so much a particular property or sale that has impressed him so much but more the reasons why people sell. As a real estate agent, he says it is a privilege to be a part of people’s lives during the sales process and to have people share their wisdom on buying and selling with him. Like Harcourts Gold’s founders John and Lynette McFadden and Managing Director Chris Kennedy who are still working hard at the coalface in the business, Cameron is also busy with open homes and auctions every week. “The main difference compared to 20 years ago is that I’m now more focussed on doing the things I really enjoy and that are important to the sales process. I still love real estate and have my foot on the throttle!” Meanwhile, Harcourts Gold Papanui is proud to be making an impact as part of the local community through its Heart of Gold programme and various other charitable contributions. 022 427 9383 bellacleanservice.nz@gmail.com Christchurch’s Trusted Cleaners DOMESTIC & COMMERCIAL Residential Cleaning Moving/Relocating Cleaning Spring Cleaning Bella Clean Services GET A FREE QUOTE The best choice for pre sale tidy ups Call us: 027 968 2270 Email: hello@rapidrefresh.co rapidrefresh.co Turn FOR SALE into SOLD!
