Guild awarded by agents and customers as Best Agency Network at The ESTAS

On Friday 22 October, The Guild of Property Professionals walked away with not one, but two coveted awards at The ESTAS. These being The Best Agency Network and the Supplier Awards – Best in Sector. The first award was voted for by the Members’ customers, and the second by the agents themselves. It is a privilege to have been recognised by our network and by customers alike for these two top awards. 

 

 

Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals, said: “We are elated to have won these awards, which recognise the work we are doing for our Membership and the sector, as well as the incredible service our Members deliver to their customers. There have been many changes over the past 18 months, however, The Guild has done everything in its power to ensure that our Members had the tools, services and support they needed to continue thrive despite the challenges. We are continuously looking at ways to help our Members grow their businesses, while saving on costs and remaining compliant. It is great to know that the work we have done is making a difference to both the agents we serve and their clients.”

 

Not only was The Guild itself successful, but Members of the award-winning Newtork walked away with more than 40 awards between them, highlighting and recognising their achievements as top estate agents from across the UK in 2021. One of these coveted awards was the Guild Agent of the Year Award which was handed to C residential.  

 

 

McKenzie says that the past year and half has been a tumultuous time for the sector, however, agents across the UK have adapted and persisted to continue helping people move. “Agents have worked tirelessly to ensure that people’s dreams of moving home were fulfilled. The past year has been one of the busiest years on record for the property market and agents have risen to the occasion and been able to maintain an exceptional level of customer service going above and beyond the call of duty. The ESTAS is a time to celebrate the agents who have excelled and provided a phenomenal service to their clients. The fact that the winning agents are selected purely on the service they deliver, makes the ESTAS remarkable. I don’t think there can be a greater honour in the industry than to receive an award based on those principles,” he adds. 

 

He comments that it is a fantastic achievement for the organisation and our Members to have been recognised for our achievement at the ESTAS. “As a network of independent property professionals, we aim to set the bar for professionalism and service in the industry, and the awards achieved are recognition that Guild agents are among the best of the best.”

I can't speak more highly of the team at Homesearch. When I met Michael to discuss the sale of my home instantly from that meeting, I could tell how knowledgeable they were. From that moment until closing, everything went absolutely flawless. This experience of selling went without a hitch with them giving great tips on preparing my home for viewings. Thank you. I really appreciate all your help during this process. I highly recommend Homesearch to any person who is looking to sell their home or buy a new home.

Loretta Barrett, Seller

I started with two very well known real estates, but I hated it. I was simply another number to them and I didn't feel they were honest and transparent. With HomeSearch I felt comfortable that they were on my side and they were always available to help. The process is hard enough, so having a team who supports you can make such a difference. Highly recommend.

Arian Barvarz, Seller

The reason we chose Homesearch to sell our property was that we liked the straightforward, no-nonsense approach of both Anna and Michael. They gave an honest appraisal of our property and a clear idea of what we could expect to sell it for. In fact, the offer we accepted exceeded our expectations. The sale took longer than we would have liked, due to delays caused by the buyers' solicitor, but Michael was tenacious and must have worn his phone out keeping everyone informed of progress.

Nicola Watson, Seller

Homesearch are hands down the best agent I have ever worked with ! The team helped me in an extremely complex sale. Without the knowledge and experience of the whole team, my sale would not have completed. I dont normally write reviews, only when they are truly deserved. An exceptional team! Very kind and personable, reliable & trustworthy.

Leslie John, Seller

My experience with Homesearch is that they are professional, friendly and go above and beyond to ensure that something stressful like selling a house runs as smoothly and stress free as possible. They work hard to get the results and have kept me updated throughout the process. I honestly could not recommend them enough, they are easily the best company I’ve dealt with in the buying/selling houses field. And to top it all off, they always answer the phone in the most pleasant tone and always provide service with a smile.

Chanelle Hunte, Seller

Homesearch are PROFESSIONALS. I sold my property through Homesearch and I have not dealt with a more competent agency. Every single person  dealt with knew exactly what they were talking about and I can tell that they all have knowledge in the industry and were not just picked up from the street. From the get go I was impressed and I will certainly do business with them again.

Paul Hobbs, Seller

Many thanks Homesearch for locating professional corporate tenants for my property. I am very happy with your property management service as you always ensure that the tenants give the property back in good order at check out. Five Stars!

Maria Foran, Landlord

I have been absolutely delighted with the exceptional service I have received from Homesearch. They have removed all the stress & hassle of renting my property and dealt with all manner of situations I would have struggled with in such a professional & courteous manner. They give valuable unbiased advice with such a wealth of experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, who are always friendly & helpful. Homesearch let and managed my property and I am very happy with their property management services, they are very knowledgeable.

Paula Carter, Landlord

Homesearch always do what they say they will do. They are efficient and raise any issues early and provide options to resolve them. Homesearch is very  easy to get hold of and talk to, no matter where I am in the world! My property is well looked after, regarding tradesmen, replacement of items swiftly etc. with the minimum of fuss.

David Connells, Landlord

From our first viewing right through to the present, Home Search were brilliant. They helped make the whole process quick and stress free and even now we are in and settled, they are still happy to assist us with any queries we may have. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Julie Maney

Home Search helped us move into our new flat smoothly and Tim was always happy to provide help to put our nerves at ease. Arranging a viewing was easy and Home Search were happy to open after hours for us to sign the paperwork. They were very helpful and often would offer to help! Having moved in we received a lovely card and they have always been swift in communicating with Usif we have any questions. Would recommend it.

Will Houghton

Giordana Sicali

Amol Sinare

I had a very difficult situation as I did not have a guarantor and my dad was earning enough but was not a homeowner. It took a about 3 weeks but Michael sorted it all out in the end and my dad became my guarantor. I got a lovely home and all the staff were very helpful including Paris, Zainab and Tim. Thank you all very much! Would recommend them to anyone

Misti Chakraborty

On behalf of myself, Noa & Niamh, we would like to start off by saying a massive thank you for the amazing service Home Search Ltd provided us with, especially highlighting the work of Clorissa. Within a week we were able to sign, seal and move into the property that we looked at, all down to Clorissa's prompt and effective work ethic, which allowed us a smooth transition from one property to another, without her, this move would not of been possible to have happened within the time stamp that it did. We are very grateful for the work that was done by Home Search Ltd, highly recommend.
