Sunday Times judging panel 2010

We are delighted to report that Hartleys received the ultimate industry accolade on Friday by being crowned as winner at the Estate Agency of the year awards in London. The 2010 Estate Agency of the Year Awards in association with The Times and The Sunday Times, was held at the London Lancaster Hotel and the sold out event attracted agents representing over 4000 branches nationwide.

Our win provides recognition of the exceptional standards that we achieve here. Following initial submissions, each of the winners were subjected to rigorous scrutiny by a panel of independent industry experts and the whole judging process is overseen by the Property Ombudsman Christopher Hamer and thus provide expert acknowledgement that we really are among the best in our field.

The event, now in its seventh year is widely recognised as the most important in the industry calendar and this year received a record number of award entries. The winners of the 28 categories at the award ceremony were presented with their awards by double Olympic gold medalist James Cracknell and pictured below are our very own Gary Hartley, Managing Partner and Sales Manager for the group Sue Moores recieving our gold award for Best Midlands Estate Agent.
