Ouwens Casserly Wins Large Residential Agency of the Year at NAFE 2025

Ouwens Casserly has been recognised as the Large Residential Agency of the Year at the REIA National Awards for Excellence (NAFE) 2025, held at Adelaide Oval on Thursday 15 May.

Now in its 20th year, the NAFE celebrates the standout performers in Australian real estate, from agents and property managers to operational leaders and businesses making an impact through values, service and innovation.

“To represent South Australia on a national stage is something we do not take lightly. From the very beginning, our vision was to do real estate differently, to lead with care and to put people at the centre of everything. This award belongs to every person who has been part of that journey,” said Alex Ouwens, Executive Director and Co-Founder.

“For us this win is about more than performance. It speaks to the trust our clients place in us, the strength of our culture and our commitment to making it happen. We are so proud of what we have built, and what is still to come,” added Nathan Casserly, Executive Director and Co-Founder.

We are also thrilled to celebrate Merina Caputo, who was awarded Operational Support of the Year. Merina continues to raise the bar, leading with integrity and unmatched commitment. Her recognition is so well deserved.

This win is a reflection of the incredible passion, resilience and hard work of the entire OC team. Every single person plays a role in shaping the experience we deliver and it is that shared commitment that has brought us to this moment.

A big congratulations to all the other winners and finalists. It is an honour to stand alongside so many talented professionals who are driving our industry forward. Let’s make it happen.
