ETA Star Honours Top Performing Agent-partners at the fourth Annual Star Select Club Meet

ETA Star honoured its top performing real estate agent-partners at the fourth Annual Star Select Club meet held at the magnificent Bab Al Shams Resort and Spa recently. New agent-partner members were also welcomed in to the Star Select family.

The ETA Star Select Club programme is an exclusive channel management initiative launched by ETA Star in 2006. The Club is an exclusive ’Rewards & Privileges’ program developed for its preferred agents.

The program presents an opportunity for agents to enjoy a host of exclusive privileges and real-value offers from the developer on its projects apart from constant rewards from sales. The best performing agents are rewarded for their valued contribution at regular events, where apart from rewards, the agents get an opportunity to interact with the top management of ETA Star and update their knowledge of the ongoing and forth coming projects.

Commenting on the event, Mr. Abid Junaid, Executive Director, ETA Star Properties, said: “The ETA Star Select Club programme has been developed to show our gratitude to our real estate agent-partners. This event is a celebration of the relationships that we have built with our partners over the years, without whose support we could not have come this far. We are thankful to all our agent-partners in helping us showcase the different ETA Star properties as among the best in the respective categories.”

Olive Real Estate, Milan Real Estate and Ariha Commercial Brokers were honoured for generating exceptional sales for different properties of ETA Star during 2008. All the three agents have had a long standing relationship with ETA Star Properties.

The new members introduced to the Star Select family were Reds Real Estate, Landlord Properties, Sherwoods and Trinix Real estate. All the three were presented with a membership certificate by ETA Star Properties.

Fifty of ETA Star’s Select Club members and senior management executives of ETA Star Properties attended the glamorous event.

The highlights of the half-day long event, titled ’Sun, Sand and Stars’ were team-building exercises by the famed Abami and a performance of Nitin Mirani, a Dubai-based stand-up comedian.
