A city estate agency has recently bagged a whopping number of awards at a ceremony.

Bernards Estate Agents took home 16 awards at the allAgents 2023 Customer Experience Awards.

The firm, which has offices across the Portsmouth area in Fareham, Drayton, Waterlooville and Portsmouth, won gold in 12 of the categories, silver and bronze in two.

The winners are decided by the reviews and testimonials that are left by the businesses’ clients on the allAgents website, which is an independent review platform specifically for estate agencies.

The winners were unveiled in a glittering ceremony at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow in December.

It is the second time that Bernards has been victorious in the allAgents awards, having won 15 of the awards back in 2021.

The company’s director, Daniel Byrne said: ‘We opened our Fareham office around 18 months ago and despite how slow the market has been and how much pessimism there has been around buying and selling properties, we have broken ground in a new marketplace, which we’re all really pleased with and I’m so proud of the team for not only making that happen, but for providing such a great service that has been recognised by so many amazing reviews.’

Some of the stand-out agents mentioned in the majority of reviews were Luke McNally, who was the top mortgage broker in the area, Lacie Bray and David Morgan, who were both the top salespeople in the company.

Bernards currently has offices in Waterlooville, Drayton, Fareham, North End, Southsea and central Portsmouth.

Daniel is looking to grow the business even further, and is keeping an eye out for acquisition opportunities and partnerships with other agencies.

He said: ‘It’s been a great year for Bernards, considering the market at the moment. We’ve seen a lot of impressive properties go up for sale and it’s exciting to see how the market is starting to move again. I think this will be a good year for the property industry.’
