The event was organised by Realestate.com.kh, a property portal and marketing agency, with support from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Cambodian Valuers and Estate Agents Association.
The ‘Regional Agency of the Year’ award went to the Siem Reap office of IPS Cambodia, while Knight Frank Cambodia was named best valuation company. CBRE, meanwhile, received awards for best property management company and best commercial agency.

Individual awards were also handed out. IPS’s Chanthy Koy was named best up-and-coming agent, while Oknha Cheng Kheng of CPL Cambodia was honoured as the ‘Real Estate Agent of The Year’.
“The winners rightly deserve our recognition and accolades for pursuing excellence and setting an example for others to emulate,” said Sok Siphana, an economic adviser to the government who acted as head judge for the awards.
In total, 15 companies and individuals were recognised at the event. They were given a seal of the event, a trophy and a certificate of achievement.
