A Worcestershire estate agent has received the "Team of the Year" trophy at the Showhome 2024 awards.

The prestigious accolade recognised Nicol & Co for their industry-leading efforts in the new build sector.

The recognition celebrates the estate agency's land and new home team for providing comprehensive support to housebuilder clients, essentially becoming an indispensable part of the developer's team.

Matt Nicol, managing director of Nicol & Co, said: "We’re thrilled to have picked up this national award which once again shows how Nicol & Co is more than just an estate agency.

"Yes, we sell homes, and we do that very well, but we also help developers of new-build properties at the earliest stages, working with them throughout projects to make sure we deliver what buyers are after.

"Our land and new home team specialises in the niche area of new homes across Worcestershire.

"They assist with everything from initial land assessment to property valuation and eventual sales of the resulting homes, forging a deep partnership with developers and ensuring a consistent strategy across all projects."

In the previous year, Nicol & Co’s land and new home team assisted in the sales of 46 homes across various projects.

High-profile clients included Spitfire Homes, Lioncourt Homes, Bromford Housing Association, and Piper Homes.

Mr Nicol added: "Offering essential industry knowledge and excelling in relationship building, our team's adaptability and proactive approach has led to continued success and client satisfaction.

"We have also made a strategic move to recruit a marketing manager with specialised experience in new homes, strengthening our team’s alignment with developers.

"Some of our distinct projects include the creation of compelling videos, some of which have featured new residents, highlighting the team's commitment to driving engagement and enhancing the appeal of development projects."

The Showhome 2024 awards recognise extraordinary contributions and innovations in the new build sector.

The other Showhome 2024 award winners included Anne Okafor MCIOB, who was named Woman of the Year, Keepmoat who won both Housebuilder of the Year and New Development of the Year, and Bellway who earned Showhome of the Year.
