and it is straightforward to take part. They recognise achievements during the 12 months to June 1 2012. The Awards are open to anyone involved in residential agency, sales or lettings. Entry forms can also be completed by consultants working on behalf of entrants, for example, by marketing companies or PR agents.

AWARDS 2012


The Negotiator Awards is the premier event in the residential agency calendar.


Now is your chance to enter and be part of it. The Negotiator Awards are free to enter


Simply read carefully the section that


describes the criteria that our judges will be using to assess each category, and ensure you cover all of these in the submission you prepare. One of entrants’ biggest shortcomings is their failure to provide enough evidence to support their claims about success. So, please concentrate on facts and fi gures wherever possible, to support your written statements. Some of the categories require examples


or a case study. Think carefully about these, and choose the one that best promotes your expertise. And, if a photo is required, ensure it’s a good quality one. Please do not submit any additional


promotional literature for any of the award categories.


The awards ceremony takes place on Wednesday 24th October 2012 in The Grand Ballroom at The Hilton

JUDGING The categories will be judged by our panels of experts.


Be prepared – your claims will be tested. We are asking our judges to randomly ‘mystery shop’ our entrants, so if you claim to answer your phone in two rings or off er a particular range of services, ensure you really do! The trophy for the Residential


Auctioneer of the Year will be decided by a specialist academy of experts, which will nominate candidates and vote for the fi rms they most admire.


WHAT HAPPENS NEXT A shortlist of category fi nalists will be announced in the magazine and online in the summer. After the event, there will be a special awards issue in which each of the winners will be profi led.
