Over 650 leading estate agents from throughout the UK attended a glittering ceremony at The Lancaster London Hotel opposite Hyde Park where the winners of the most highly regarded awards in the estate agency industry were revealed. The winners were presented with their awards by Michelle Mone OBE, one of the UK’s most successful female entrepreneurs and founder of international lingerie brand, Ultimo, with renowned journalist, author and newsreader Penny Smith acting as compere.
Award winners were decided following a rigorous and thorough judging process by a panel of 19 industry experts who assessed initial entry submissions before conducting an extensive review of the entrants, which included over 150 hours of telephone interviews and mystery shopping exercises. The whole of the judging process was overseen by The Property Ombudsman, Christopher Hamer, and Mark Hayward, Managing Director of the NAEA acted as Arbiter.
Now in its twelfth year as a dedicated competition, these awards have become widely recognised as the most prestigious and difficult to win. With more entrants than ever before, over 5,000 offices were represented this year, but only the very best of the best were crowned as winners.
EweMove, winners of the Newcomer category were thrilled to receive the award, following their success earlier in the year after winning an Innovation award at the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards and being shortlisted for Best Property Management. Local Branch Director of EweMove Hackney, Matilde comments, “We’re delighted to receive this award! It’s a real honour for our innovative approach to estate agency to be recognised with such a prestigious award.”
Multi award winning, EweMove is rapidly being recognised as the most innovative, stand-out brand in the property market, not only because of it’s quirky brand and green sheep mascot, but because of their mammoth marketing approach, which ensures that their customer’s properties stand out from the crowd with carefully crafted property descriptions, professional photography and 2D and 3D colour floor plans as standard.
“We pride ourselves on working harder than any other agent to deliver results for our client’s, we get our seller’s and landlord’s homes more interest, more quickly. We also operate a 24/7 service making sure that any viewing, enquiry; property application or purchase offer is never lost. It’s obvious really, most people search for houses online when they’ve finished work, or at weekends – precisely when most other agents are shut. They’re missing a trick as we get lots of enquiries during these periods; so our clients don’t miss out.”
