BERESFORDS Group is celebrating a season of success after receiving multiple accolades recognising its excellence in real estate, marketing, digital innovation and community impact.
The Essex-based independent property group secured the winning spot for five awards at the International Property Awards 2025, for Best Estate Agency (5–20 Offices) – Essex, Best Estate Agency (5-20 offices) – United Kingdom, Best Estate Agency Marketing – Essex, and Best Estate Agency Marketing – United Kingdom, alongside Best Estate Agency Website in the United Kingdom.
The international awards celebrate the highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real estate industry and are a world-renowned mark of excellence.
Beresfords’ wins underline its strength as a market-leading agency in the region and nationally, combining outstanding customer service with creative, data-driven marketing and a forward-thinking digital approach.
In addition to the wins, Beresfords received Highly Commended in The Negotiator Awards 2025 for the Community Champion category – a national recognition of its exceptional commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement.
Established in 1968, the family-owned business has long believed that its success is inseparable from the health and wellbeing of the communities in which it operates, and community engagement sits at the heart of Beresfords’ culture and values.
Through its Beresfords Foundation, established in partnership with the Essex Community Foundation, the Group supports grassroots causes across the county – from local hospices and schools to youth sports, food banks and emergency services.
In 2024, Beresfords raised over £27,000 for local charities and community initiatives and in 2025, the annual Beresfords property dinner raised £52,808 for the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance, of which proceeds went to keeping the charity’s vital services operational, to save lives across the region.
Alongside this, Beresfords has launched a property-linked donation initiative for SNAP (Special Needs and Parents) in Brentwood, supported Mind charity, Macmillan Cancer and The Salvation Army through staff-led fundraising and volunteering.
The team ran a ‘Food for Thought’ campaign to support local food banks during the cost-of-living crisis and has launched their ‘CommuniTEA’ litter-picking initiative, engaging more than 60 volunteers across Essex to promote environmental responsibility and pride of place.
Through these initiatives, Beresfords continues to demonstrate that meaningful, hands-on involvement creates stronger, more connected communities.
Building on its award-winning year, Beresfords is expanding its charitable efforts and events programme plans to support regional charities and the Beresfords Community Foundation. The Group will host its first ‘CommuniTEA’ Tea and Cake Morning later this year, bringing together local charities, foundations and residents to foster collaboration and celebrate shared purpose.
Beresfords will also continue its partnership with the Salvation Army, running the 12 Days of Giving campaign at Christmas and supporting families across Essex with festive donations, volunteering and awareness initiatives.
Nicki Treffers, Director at Beresfords Group, said: “We are so proud to have been recognised with multiple awards this year, winning five property accolades and receiving Highly Commended for Community Champion at The Negotiator Awards.
“These achievements reflect the passion, dedication and innovation that our teams bring to everything they do from delivering exceptional client service to making a meaningful difference in the communities we call home. Community isn’t just part of our business – it’s the foundation of who we are, and it’s this collective spirit and care that drives the Beresfords team each and every day.”
