SALES and lettings agency EweMove scooped four top honours, including Gold for Best Estate Agency Website, at this year’s Times/Sunday Times Estate Agency of the Year Awards.

EweMove, the UK’s first hybrid estate agency, which launched in York in February 2014, was praised by the judges for offering its customers a “fantastic proposition” and for its “highest level of personal service… supported by a fantastic brand”.

Even though the award was national for the EweMove network, the performance of the York operation, which has grown from two to nine staff in two years, contributed towards the judges’ decision.

The awards are the third in 2016 for EweMove York, which won a Gold Award for exceptional customer service in York and the North East in The British Property Awards and was also voted the Most Trusted Estate Agent in York based on hundreds of reviews left from satisfied customers on independent review website, Trustpilot.com in August.

In addition to Best Website, EweMove also secured gold for Best Franchise Network, and silver for both Best Innovation and Best Agency to Work For.

EweMove York branch director Nick Neill said: “To scoop two gold awards including Best Website is amazing, particularly in such a competitive and sought-after category. As a growing brand, we’re passionate about ensuring everything creates the ultimate customer experience.

“This has been a phenomenal year for EweMove, with several industry awards including within lettings,” he said.
