Yesterday at EA Masters, the winners of the Best Estate Agent Guide Awards were announced.

Every single estate and letting agency in the country, 15,000 brands, were included in the assessment.

In total 2,230,000 sales “triggers” and 1,777,000 lettings “triggers” were taken into consideration (a “trigger” includes new instructions, price reductions, withdrawn properties, sale or lets agreed, fall throughs and exchanges/lets).
This mammoth examination was carried out by TwentyEA.
Approximately a third of brands who made the initial “cut” then went onto receive a comprehensive marketing assessment and a mystery shop, (both exercises conducted by independent, specialist firms who were commissioned by EA Masters).
The Top 5% of estate agents received a Gold Award, and those receiving one for both Sales & Lettings can claim to be in the Top 2% in the country. From this elite group, the following awards were announced by branch number/size band:
