Entry to the prestigious 2016 Estate Agency of the Year Awards in association with The Sunday Times and The Times is now open.

Sponsored by Zoopla Property Group, these highly coveted awards bring together the best of the best in estate agency. EYE is proud to be the exclusive trade press partner.

These long-established awards are judged by a panel of property experts overseen by the Property Ombudsman, and celebrate best practice, customer service, innovation and team investment in our industry, with the added gravitas of endorsement from The Sunday Times and The Times.

Award winners have the opportunity to make the most of their success with an exclusive suite of marketing materials plus special offers from industry sponsors.

Winning agents will be able to utilise their PR to impress current and potential clients, and winning provides a competitive edge when it comes to recruiting and staff retention.

Agencies can enter categories covering all the regions of the UK (by size band), along with a host of specialisms such as Newcomer, Best Auction Agent, Financial Services, and Social Media. In addition, the scheme incorporates the Conveyancer of the Year Awards, Supplier of the Year Awards, and the free-to-nominate Individual Awards which recognise agents operating at the top of their game.

Registration for entries closes on September 30 and submissions must be received by midday on Friday, October 7. Registering early will ensure you have time to review the questionnaire/s and prepare your submission.
