Harrogate Estate Agency Verity Frearson has scooped gold at the Best Estate Agent Guide Awards in London.

The EA Masters event is the biggest estate agency leadership conference, exhibition and awards ceremony in the UK, attended by over 1,500 of the leading estate and letting agents and suppliers from across the UK.

The independent awards rigorously assess every estate and letting agent in the country, of which there are nearly 15,000, and only the very best agents are listed.

And Verity Frearson won gold, presented by presenter Alex Jones at the glittering event held in London yesterday (5th November).

Verity Frearson Directors Matthew Stamford and James Verity were both in attendance.

Matthew Stamford said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to have attained the highest standard possible and won the Best Agent Guide Award five years in a row.

“The Best Agent Guide is produced by the Property Academy, supported by Rightmove, and is by far the largest and most comprehensive awards scheme in UK Agency.

“Winning this puts us in the top 3% of agents in the UK!”

James added:

“Matthew and I were so proud to collect the gold awards for sales and lettings on behalf of our absolutely fantastic team.

“It’s a testament to the continued dedication and commitment from our team, and wonderful buyers and sellers who entrust us with their beautiful homes, we can’t thank them enough.”

A spokesperson for the Best Estate Agent Guide Awards said:

“The Best Estate Agent Guide Awards is the only award that agents don’t pay to enter.

“That, combined with the fact that every agent in the country is assessed against the same performance criteria, is what makes a Best Estate Agent Guide Award such a trustworthy marque of distinction for sellers and landlords.”
