London Estate Agent of the Year?

While Hollywood has the Oscars, here in London we must make do with the Estas. The Londonpaper has launched the “London Estate Agent of the Year” awards and the winner will be announced next month.

There are 12 nominees, and on the shortlist are:

Crompton Estates in Deptford
Faron Sutaria in Notting Hill Gate
John D Wood in Fulham
Knight Frank (four branches in South West London)

Also named are:

Living Residential in West Hampstead
Martin & Co in Kensington & Chelsea
Richard James in Mill Hill
Young London in Camberwell

Wonder what they had to do to qualify? Surely, in the current property market, surviving would be cause for celebration.
