Bahraini real estate company Impact Estate said it has won top honours at the Africa and Arabia International Property Awards held in Dubai recently.

The company has been given the five-star award for Best Real Estate Consultancy, the Highly Commended Real Estate Brokerage Award, and the Highly Commended Real Estate Marketing Award.

Impact Estate said it had won the international recognition for the second consecutive year despite strong competition with hundreds of entries being nominated from over 25 countries across Africa and the Middle East.

"It is no surprise to find that Bahraini companies are continuously receiving international recognition for outstanding achievements. Bahrain is rightfully respected as the best hub for foreign investments in general and for real estate development in specific," remarked Zaher Hammouda, the chairman and managing director of the Impact Group of Companies.
 
"The vision and leadership of His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have positioned Bahrain as a centre of excellence and as the unrivalled country within the region for attracting direct foreign investments," he added.

According to him, Bahrain is ranked the 12th most open economy worldwide by the Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal’s Index of Economic Freedom.

"Therefore it is no surprise that Bahraini companies are constantly being recognized and that the kingdom's real estate sector continues to attract international foreign investors. We at the Impact Group of Companies believe the awards we received today are really awards for Bahrain," he added.

Oksana A.Konyshevska, the general manager of Impact Estate, said: 'It is an honour for our team at Impact Estate to win these accolades from the Africa & Arabia Property Awards Committee, and for the second year running."

"Our team at Impact Estate has always strived for excellence and these awards acknowledge the teams’ commitment, dedication, creativity, customer focus and responsiveness to all real estate clients," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
