Michael Bonello, CEO at local real estate agency Alliance, won the ‘Best Real Estate CEO of the Year’ title at the Malta Real Estate, Property, and Development Awards 2021.
The ceremony, which took place last week, also saw Mr Bonello’s company take home the awards for ‘Best Real Estate Agency’, ‘Best Real Estate Professional of the Year’, ‘Best Real Estate and Property Agency’, and ‘Best Property Agency of the Year’.
Winners were chosen by a panel of judges made up of Carmel Cuschieri, Charles C. Wallbank, Vera Sant Fournier, Keith Fitzpatrick, Marisa Said, and Amber Wismayer. The six judges all came from differing backgrounds such as engineering, finance, interior design, and architecture.
