OC Real Estate has been recognised as Australia’s leading real estate agency, taking home both Residential Agency of the Year and Property Management Team of the Year at the prestigious REA Excellence Awards.
For a proudly South Australian business, the dual national win marks a defining moment. OC was the only SA-based agency to secure a national title at this year’s awards.
Presented by REA Group, the awards recognise agencies driving innovation, performance and customer experience across Australia’s property industry.
For OC, this recognition reflects years of strategic growth, operational refinement and an unwavering focus on people.
“We’re Building Something Meaningful”
OC Co-Founder and Executive Director Alex Ouwens said the awards represent more than performance metrics.
“Over the past year we’ve taken intentional steps forward as a business,” he said.
“We refined our brand, strengthened our systems and invested deeply in our people. This recognition confirms that we are on the right path.
We’re not growing for the sake of growth. We’re building something meaningful, together. Or, as we like to say, let’s make it happen.”
A Whole-of-Team Achievement
Co-Founder and Executive Director Nathan Casserly emphasised that the recognition belongs to every member of the organisation.
“Every member of the OC team contributes to the experience our clients receive,” he said.
“From sales to property management to operations, this win reflects a shared commitment to excellence.
We’re incredibly proud to be a South Australian business recognised at a national level. It proves you can remain grounded in your community while striving for excellence across Australia.”
A Defining Year
The double win follows a transformative year for OC, including a comprehensive brand evolution, continued investment in technology and systems, and strategic expansion across South Australia.
At its core, OC’s approach remains centred on relationships. “We’re deeply grateful to our clients and our Adelaide community,” Nathan added.
“Trust is everything in real estate, and the REA Excellence Awards are a reflection of the relationships we build every day.”
