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

Bernards Estate Agents took home 15 awards at the allAgents 2021 Customer Experience Awards.

The team attended a gala-style evening at the Queen’s Hotel in Leeds on November 12 and won gold in 11 of the categories, silver in two and bronze in one.

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

Bernards won the awards for the reviews it received in 15 of the areas in which it operates throughout 2021, which meant it had happy buyers and renters from across the city and beyond.

The company’s director, Daniel Byrne, said: ‘It has been a challengin­g year for many people, and it has had its challenges for us as a company, so it’s nice to be recognised for the work that our hard-working team have been doing.

‘The wins mean even more knowing that they were based on client reviews, as ultimately it proves to us that our hard work has paid off and we’re making clients happy, which is the driving force and at the core of all we do.

‘Hopefully the winning streak will continue into 2022 and the team and I can’t wait to see what more the new year will bring.’

The firm also bagged another award earlier in the year, taking home Best Estate Agent Guide Gold for sales and lettings at the EA Masters awards at Evolution London, Battersea Park.

Daniel was also recognised for his charity support at the Portsmouth charity Friends Fighting Cancer’s awards ceremony, receiving the Special Contributi­on Award at the ceremony at the Village Hotel in Portsmouth on Saturday, November 27.

The business currently has offices in Waterloovi­lle, North End, and Southsea and central Portsmouth.

Another two branches are set to open this year, with one in Drayton opening early in the year and another in Fareham following shortly after.

Daniel added: ‘We’re looking forward to this year’s expansion as it means we’ll be able to serve even more areas throughout Portsmouth and Hampshire, and will continue to gain many happy clients.’
