Peter Gourdouros, from MPRE Harcourts Chelsea, has been awarded Harcourts’ prestigious National Auctioneer of the Year award for 2007-2008.

The announcement was made recently at the 2007-2008 black tie Awards Dinner concluding Harcourts' annual three day Conference at Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast. The Auctioneers’ Competition was held over two days last week with Harcourts’ auctioneers from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia competing for the title.  The finalists then conducted a competition auction in front of their Harcourts peers and independent judges.

Mr Gourdouros started his successful career as an Auctioneer seven years ago, and has built a strong reputation in the real estate industry in Frankston, Clayton and Chelsea. He has been with the Harcourts group for five years.

Victoria also laid claim to the Novice Auctioneers title, with Alisha Hobart from Harcourts Frankston victorious among nine novice competitors from across Australia.

CEO of Harcourts Victoria, Brent Pullar, said, “Both Peter and Alisha are excellent examples of the quality of the auctioneers in our organisation. Harcourts is committed and focused towards increasing the value and quality of the auctioneers we have on offer to our clients.”
