Local estate agency shortlisted for top award

Blundells, Sheffield and North Derbyshire’s largest estate agent, has helped the Fine & Country brand to secure a short listing for a major industry award. Fine and Country has been shortlisted in the Best Country Homes Agent category of The Negotiator Awards 2008, organised in association with Findaproperty.com and Primelocation.com.

Blundells were one of the inaugural Fine and Country agents and the brand has now become the leading up market independent agency. Fine & Country offers a refreshing approach to marketing and selling more expensive property, combining individual flair and attention with our local expertise to create a strong national network with a powerful marketing ability.

Blundells Director, Andy Winter, said: “Being selected as a Fine and Country agent is a mark of quality and as such we are very pleased to be associated with such a prestigious brand. Being shortlisted for the award is great and hopefully we can go all the way to securing the title of best country homes agent.”

The event is the premier nationwide estate agency awards scheme in the UK, and the trophies will be presented at a glittering awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in London’s Park Lane on Tuesday 11 November.

More than 185 entries were received for the awards, which will be hosted by top impressionist Rory Bremner.

Mike Bidwell, Chief Operating Officer of Fine & Country added: “Despite the difficult market conditions, Fine & Country is leading the way by consistently out performing our competitors not only in terms of service levels but also in actual sales results.

“This latest testimony to the effectiveness and professionalism of our sales teams is welcome encouragement for their hard work and commitment to achieving the clients’ objectives”.
