As the property industry takes steps to improve its reputation with the public, a new award for estate agents in Brighton and Hove is being sponsored by The Argus.

The award recognises the dedication and professionalism of an individual or a firm and the winner is nominated by the public.

Open to both residential and commercial agents, the BHEA Award For Raising Professional Standards In The Property Industry will be presented by Mike Davis, president of the Brighton and Hove Estate Agents Association (BHEA), at its annual dinner in February.

Now it is up to readers of The Argus to make nominations. The judges will not be looking at how many nominations an individual or a firm receives but will make their decision based on clients' experiences.

If you have been impressed by the service of a property professional or if a firm has worked that bit harder on your behalf, all you have to do is send a brief outline of your experience to: BHEA Property Award, The Argus, Argus House, Crowhurst Road, Hollingbury, Brighton BN1 8AR.
