Waterfords Awarded Silver for Best Small Agency in the South East.

Local estate agent Waterfords is delighted to have been awarded silver for Best Small Agency in the South East at the prestigious Estate Agency of the Year Awards 2014, in association with The Times and The Sunday Times.

In addition, Waterfords also received a Highly Commended in the New Homes category as did Associate Director, Kier Preece, in the category of Best Valuer.

On Friday 5th December, over 650 leading estate agents from throughout the UK gathered at The Lancaster London Hotel, 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, with renowned journalist, author and newsreader Penny Smith acting as compere.

The awards ceremony was the culminating event of a rigorous and thorough judging process by a panel 19 industry experts, who carried out extensive reviews of the entrants, including telephone interviews and mystery shopping exercises. 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.
This is the first year that Waterfords has entered their regional category, so to be awarded silver against some 270 other agents in the South East, is testament to the commitment and hard work of everyone at the company. The judges described Waterfords as “a premium company trusted for its reliability and honesty”.

**Brendan Cox, Managing Director of Waterfords** commented “I am extremely proud of all of our achievements this year, and to be awarded silver for the Best Small agency in the South East is an incredible accolade. We have worked very hard for many years building a brand which represents quality in estate agency and that is trusted by our clients, so to receive national recognition for this really is the icing on the cake.”
