Leading Property Managers Association Awards - 2021
Waikato Real Estate took out an impressive seven awards at the 2021 Leading Property Managers Association (LPMA) Industry Awards.
Not only did WRE take out company awards for Excellence in Team Culture, Industry Educator and Excellence in Service, four of the team have also been individually recognised, including Yvette McLean who won Rookie Property Manager of the year.
Yvette joined the team in April of 2021, as a career change for a busy mum of four. Yvette is recognised by teammates as incredibly hard working, humble and the ultimate team player.
Hayden Mai was awarded the Property Manager of the Year award. Hayden joined the Waikato Real Estate team in 2008, managing just 11 properties with an average rent of just $150/week - well times have certainly changed now as Hayden manages over 260 properties with the highest average rent of any property portfolio within the team.
Leadership certainly plays a part in the teams’ success, General Manager Cherie Osbaldiston was awarded Business Leader of the Year. Waikato Real Estate Director Michael Murray couldn’t be prouder of Cherie.
“Cherie has natural leadership ability, she is kind and caring and incredibly efficient, someone who we can always depend on and a great teammate,” said Michael.
Building team culture is a key focus for Waikato Real Estate Head of Growth, Michelle Pearson, who believes you are a product of your environment. Michelle was also an award winner, being named Business Development Manager of the Year.
“If we take care of our team the results will speak for themselves, at Waikato Real Estate we work on team culture every day. Our ability to attract, retain and develop people is our number one competitive advantage”, said Michelle.

Westpac Waikato Business Awards 2020
In 2020 we made our debut entry in the Westpac Waikato Business Awards.
We entered for the Service Excellence Award. In our written submission we articulated the service our team was providing to every client that walked through the WRE doors. Once on the award shortlist we were visited by a panel of judges who took a tour of our office and interviewed our management team. We must have done something right as we made it through to the finals and a place on the podium!
We are so proud to be the only property management business in the Waikato to ever be a finalist at the Westpac Waikato Business Awards.

“We’re the first Waikato business to win the Property Management Company of the Year award – being locally owned and Waikato focused, we are thrilled to continue representing and promoting our region today.”
