RE/MAX Malta Annual Convention
The glamorous Gala-style evening, held on March 18, included a sumptuous three-course meal and the RE/MAX Annual Convention traditional highlight: an awards ceremony to officially present the brand’s top achievers with their awards.
“We are thrilled and proud to have been able to celebrate our successes and our new unity with the whole RE/MAX Malta family in person again, at this ‘night of the stars’ for our Annual Convention,” says RE/MAX Malta CEO Jeffrey Buttigieg, referring to the previous edition hosted exclusively online due to pandemic-related restrictions at that time. “The RE/MAX Malta Annual Convention is a hugely important moment for the company and for everyone who has fuelled our ongoing success over the past year. This is our opportunity to reward their hard work and dedication, while acknowledging the RE/MAX journey throughout 2021, the journey we take with our customers and the journey RE/MAX agents experience throughout their careers with us.”
Popular TV and Radio presenter Keith Demicoli served as MC for the evening. Introducing RE/MAX Malta Chairman Kevin Buttigieg for his opening speech, in which he shared his own journey of entrepreneurship and how associates might also move out of their comfort zone to achieve their career goals with the help of RE/MAX.
Company strategy and statistical highlights
As CEO, Jeffrey Buttigieg then presented the statistical highlights of 2021, which showcased the success of the brand’s comprehensive restructuring exercise carried out early in the year. He noted that the new structure had already produced a sales volume in 2021 comparable to the company’s 2018 sales figures. Mr Buttigieg also celebrated an incredible 24 per cent increase in agent productivity, realised through new initiatives such as the Golden Circle, which recognises and rewards the achievements of RE/MAX all-rounders on a quarterly basis.
Mr. Buttigieg ended his presentation by providing a snapshot of the company’s 2022 strategy. He pointed out that the brand will continue to focus on documenting the RE/MAX journey by implementing even better service standards, creating new ways to increase company market share and building on the already improved company culture.
“I’d like to thank staff, agents, managers and franchise owners as well my partners for all that you do and for representing the RE/MAX brand so proudly,” he concluded.
General Manager Josie Theuma then presented some of the brand’s top achievers with winner certificates in the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond performance groups, before the evening closed with the presentation of company awards to recipients from across RE/MAX Malta.
