A St Albans estate agents has been shortlisted in four categories at one of the industry’s leading awards ceremonies.
Collinson Hall, based in Victoria Street, are the only local agency featured in the Negotiator Magazine awards.
They are up for the following accolades:
- Property Management Department of the Year (nationwide);
- Regional Agency East of England (medium);
- Lettings Agency of the Year (medium-nationwide);
- Estate Agency of the Year (medium-nationwide).
Last year they received Silver in the Estate Agency of the Year (medium) category, so all eyes are on a Gold this time round.
Collinson Hall managing director Steve Walker said: ““A lot of our time is spent quietly getting on with the job we set out to do. Undoubtedly, the pressure of ever-increasing technical and legal knowledge adds to the workload. On top of this, our objective of delivering service levels to the highest standards we can achieve for our clients, means we can never sit back.
“To be recognised for our efforts across the sales, lettings, property management and block management departments is fantastic.
“We are up against multi-office corporate agents and for us, being a privately owned independent agent, being shortlisted for these awards feels like a major achievement in itself.
“Of course we hope for success on the night of the awards. Fingers crossed.”
