R A Bennett in top ten for estate agent awards

in the West Midlands Region ESTAS Awards.

The Estate & Letting Agent Awards, better known as the ESTAS, have announced their shortlist for 2013 and local estate agent R A Bennett and Partners in Warwick, part of Countrywide, the UK’s largest property services group, has been shortlisted as a top ten estate agent in the West Midlands region.

The ESTAS determines the best estate agents in the country through research carried out amongst customers who are asked a series of questions about the service they have received from their agent. Some 23,000 questionnaires were completed by customers during the competition.

Agents have been shortlisted in 18 regions around the country. The regional and national winnerswill be announced by TV property expert Phil Spencer at the 10th annual ESTAS ceremony at the Hilton Park Lane on April 19.

Phil Spencer said: “I think it says a great deal about a company that is prepared to stand up and announce to customers and competitors that they believe in providing the best possible service and they’re happy to prove it. These awards help agencies to focus on customer service levels and that’s why so many take part each year.

“The ESTAS competition is about recognising the hard work agents put in every day, week and month of the year,” says Simon Brown, who runs the national scheme. “So to be shortlisted is a great accolade for any agent.”

Ian Whitfield of R A Bennett and Partners in Warwick said: “We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for the ESTAS 2013.

“It means so much to us as we know it’s our customers who have put us on the list. We take our levels of customer service very seriously because we know clients have a choice.

“We have always been very proud of the personal service we provide and this is a great way to demonstrate how good we really are.”

Alex Chesterman, founder and CEO of Zoopla Property Group said: “We’re now in our fourth year of sponsoring the ESTAS and are delighted to be once again supporting this key industry event.

“The collection of valuable customer feedback is essential to success in any business and rewarding those who provide the best service in the industry, as these awards do, is perfectly aligned with our business.

“Congratulations to all those shortlisted this year.”
