We’re absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news—Debbie Fortune Estate Agents has been shortlisted for the Community Champion of the Year at The Negotiator Awards 2025!
To be recognised on a national level for our commitment to the community is an incredible honour—and we couldn’t be prouder.
Supporting Our Local Community Has Always Been at the Heart of What We Do
From the very beginning, Debbie Fortune Estate Agents was built on a simple but powerful belief: estate agency should be about people first, property second. That ethos has guided every step we’ve taken, not just in helping people find homes, but in helping to build stronger, more connected communities.
Whether it’s supporting local schools and charities, championing village events, helping food banks, or simply being a helping hand in times of need, our team never hesitates to step up. This nomination reflects the hundreds of hours, countless initiatives, and unwavering passion our staff have poured into giving back.
