FULL AWARD HISTORY
The Bayleys Awards are presented annually at a national awards event recognising the top-performing agents across New Zealand. Awards are assessed on a combination of gross commission income, auction performance, growth and overall contribution to the Bayleys network. The following is a complete record of Adam Heazlewood’s award history from his first year in the industry to present day.
Bayleys New Zealand presents its annual awards across three tiers: Canterbury/regional, national by division, and overall national performance. Agents are ranked against each other based on performance data from the April to March financial year. Winning No.1 in Canterbury Residential means outperforming every other Bayleys agent in the Canterbury region across every property type. Ranking No.4 Nationwide All Divisions means finishing fourth among every Bayleys agent in New Zealand.
The Auction Awards recognise agents who achieve the highest number of auction sales with strong clearance rates. Adam’s consistent recognition in this category reflects both the team’s expertise in the auction process and the trust that sellers place in that method of sale. The Individual Auction Award is presented to the single agent who demonstrates the strongest auction performance nationally.

NATIONWIDE
Best Salesperson in Their First Year of Real Estate
Awarded to Adam in his very first year as a licensed real estate agent, this national recognition signalled an exceptional start to a career that would go on to produce one of the most decorated records in Bayleys history. Adam entered the industry at the youngest age legally permitted, and this award confirmed that his approach, energy and client focus were already performing at a level that very few first-year agents achieve.
When you list with the No.1 Bayleys Canterbury agent, you are working with someone whose methods, marketing and negotiation skills have been independently verified as the most effective in the region. That translates directly to stronger buyer competition and better results at the point of sale.
Adam’s four consecutive Bayleys National Individual Auction Awards are backed by proven results, with 114 auctions cleared this financial year alone. Auction isn’t the right method for every property, but when it is, you want one of Canterbury’s most experienced auction agents leading the campaign.
These awards are not the result of a single exceptional year. They reflect a team that has built and maintained its performance standard over more than a decade, across all types of Canterbury property and all market conditions. That consistency is what clients can rely on.
