An industry magazine has named Britain's top 15 residential agents, with the honours going almost exclusively to senior figures in high-end companies.
The Property Week list contains only one woman and the agents are from only eight firms in total; almost all appear to be London-based.
Gary Hersham of Beauchamp Estates - which sells multi-million pound homes in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia and other parts of central London - was nominated the top agent. Hersham was the victim of a carjacking last year when four men allegedly attacked him, stealing his watch and other possessions.
The full league table is as follows:
1. Gary Hersham, Beauchamp Estates
2. Dominic Grace, Savills
3. Justin Gaze, Knight Frank
4. Peter Burns, CBRE
5. Trevor Abrahamsohn, Glentree
6. Mark Collins, CBRE
7. Peter Murray, Jones Lang LaSalle
8. Chris Lacey, CBRE
9. Ian Marris, Knight Frank
10. Mark Famer, EC Harris
11. Tim Whitmey, Savills
12. Andrew Frost, Jones Lang LaSalle
13. James Mannix, Knight Frank
14. Lisa Hollands, CBRE
15. Adrian Owen, BNP Paribas Real Estate

With all respect to those on the list, there are Estate Agents up and down the country who could quite probably outsell and outperform them in all disciplines bar value of sales or income generated.
Put them into an office on a high street in a northern town, selling on 15k OTE. Let's see how they get on.
