Harcourts Applecross’ Eric Hartanto was named Sales Consultant of the Year, while Harcourts APG managing director Richard Morgan received the prestigious Roy Weston medal.

Mr Blakeley said Mr Morgan was a disciplined and highly motivated person, and had proven time and again that he was dedicated to the continual improvement and enhancement of the client experience.

“Richard has a career spanning almost 27 years and number of awards and recognition already to his name,” he said.

“He has a wonderful knowledge of all things real estate, is well respected and supported by his staff, and has a particular interest in the growth of Harcourts in regional WA.”
