We, at Sandersons UK, are really proud to have been recognised as a member of a very elite club - the top 5% of estate agents in terms of performance and quality of customer service - for the sixth year in a row since the awards inception in 2019.
Our business has grown largely from personal recommendations, but in the absence of knowing someone who has used us, it can be hard to decide which agent is the best to represent you. We all know that they all make claims to be the best. We believe in evidencing those claims which is why we are so proud to have been recognised as we have.
The Property Academy, alongside the UK’s leading property portal Rightmove, have carried out another comprehensive assessment across the industry. Over 3 billion data points were analysed against roughly 26,000 branches across the country and over 1 million property listings. You can read more about their research methodology by clicking here.
Agents were rightly judged on what consumers deemed the three most important factors, customer service, marketing and results. Sandersons have been recognised as one of the very best agents in our area and in the top 5% of the country.
