The real estate manager award is entering its hot phase. Commitments, projects, companies and personalities worthy of an award can apply until the end of November. By André Eberhard
In my youth I was East Frisian runner-up in judo in a weight class that I am now light years away from.* Nevertheless, I still fondly remember the award ceremony in the beautiful city of Norden, which I have never been to again except for this event. As we all know, places should be remembered positively.
The certificate and medal can probably still be found today, after more than 30 years, somewhere in the attic or in the basement. I still like to brag in conversation today that my self-defense techniques were feared when I was younger.

What do I mean by that? Prizes and awards are forever. Not only are they a showcase for public perception and recognition of personal and business achievements, they can also be a huge catalyst for motivation and self-esteem. In the best case scenario, they contribute to the reputation of a company, a project or a personality. However, the award is only worth something if the prize itself enjoys a high reputation in the industry it is honoring. For example, do you still remember the Golden Camera? From 1966 to 2015, Axel Springer Verlag honored German and international artists. The Funke media group then took over the award, the last presentation of which was actually supposed to have taken place in 2020, but was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic. Last but not least, the Ryan Gosling affair brought an end to the price. Google that. At least it’s entertaining. But it also shows how awards are given out in the world of award ceremonies.

That’s why we made sure from the beginning of our real estate manager award that the jury and sponsors, which every award ceremony needs, act independently of each other. No sponsor sits on the award jury. It will stay that way. Possible connections between applicants and jury members, which cannot always be avoided, are minimized as much as possible by the fact that the respective jury member is not entitled to vote in the relevant category and even leaves the jury meeting, so that the voting result is not known. Strict attention is paid to this, as the reputation of the prize largely depends on it.
The expert jury votes independently.
That’s why when we composed the jury, we made sure that personalities from all areas of the industry were represented. By the way, the proportion of women on the jury is one third.
We can say this without self-praise that the immobilienmanager award has developed into one of the most prestigious prizes in the professional real estate industry. We noticed this at the latest when we received a letter from Hollywood that kindly advised us not to name our award with the name of the small, insignificant prize from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Our price is much nicer anyway.
We’re already looking forward to it March 6, 2025, when our award is presented at Motorworld in Cologne. You can still apply until 30. November 2024. We look forward to your application.
*PS By the way, only two candidates competed in my weight class at the time. Even if you lose a fight, a title is still possible.
