An estate agency has taken home two gold awards at a national competition.

Stones Young, which has offices in Blackburn, Clitheroe and Great Harwood, was recognised for both sales and lettings at this year’s EA Masters awards.

The awards recognise outstanding customer service, marketing, and results.

Rachael Stones, director at Stones Young, said: "We're absolutely delighted to have brought home gold awards in both sales and lettings once again.

"It's something the whole team should feel incredibly proud of, particularly because these awards are based on what really matters to our customers."

The EA Masters awards are highly regarded in the property industry because agencies are automatically entered and assessed independently.

Criteria include customer feedback, service standards, marketing, and overall results, rather than relying on self-submitted entries.

Ms Stones said: "We never lose sight of the fact that buying or selling a home is a huge milestone for our clients.

"Awards are lovely, of course, but ultimately it's about getting the best possible outcome for the people who trust us to look after their move.

"To have that recognised nationally is very special."

In addition to the company’s success, co-director and sales manager Jo-Anne Blow was named Sales Manager of the Year, a title she has now won twice in two years.

Ms Blow was one of 14 finalists shortlisted for the national award.

Ms Stones said: "Winning Sales Manager of the Year for the second time in two years is also a fantastic achievement for Jo-Anne.

"Anyone who knows her will appreciate just how much she puts into the business, so it's wonderful to see that recognised on a national stage."
