Mr Bushby was recognised by the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania with a lifetime membership.
”It’s the highest honour they can bestow on anyone from a service point of view,” he said.
“It was a surprise to me and I was very appreciative.”
Saturday marked his last REIT board meeting after 15 years.
After stints in local, state and national positions – Mr Bushby decided it was time to retire and focus on his own business.
While acknowledging he “learnt a lot along the way”, Mr Bushby spent two years as national president on about 140 flights and away from home for about 60 nights each year.
He decided to step down from the board to help bring new blood through.
“If you don’t have some form orchestrated refreshment you can get caught.”
