Letting Agency of the Year Awards 2012
Congratulations to all the ARLA member
companies who picked up awards at Friday's Letting Agency of the
Year award ceremony. It was reassuring to note that the vast
majority of Gold, Silver and Bronze award winners, as well as many
of the shortlisted companies, were members.
Unfortunately there are too many to list here so we have
highlighted one or two of the main categories and apologise to all
those who were not mentioned.
Full details of the winners can be
found at http://www.estateagencyoftheyear.com,
Overall Winner
Finders Keepers, Oxford
Also winners of Property Management Agency (1,000 + properties)
and Best Central Letting Agency (Medium)
The judges commented that 'Oxford-based Finders Keepers
offers a range of lettings services, from lettings and property
management, student letting and property management, search and
acquisition, building and refurbishment and contract furnish and
interior design. But it isn't its extensive service offering that
impressed this year's judges, but its uniqueness in employing staff
on a fixed pay basis, rather than on commission, which helps staff
focus on attracting quality tenants. Judges were also impressed
with the agency's policy of assigning office managers with property
portfolios to manage, which allows quality service standards to be
generated at the top of the business and filtered down to all staff
members within their teams...'
