We are thrilled to announce that our Director, Chris Clarkson, has been awarded the prestigious Fellow grade membership by NAEA Propertymark.

This distinguished honour elevates Chris to the highest level of membership a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents. This is not just a title; it is a testament to a career defined by dedication, deep industry knowledge, and a commitment to professional excellence. Join us in congratulating Chris on this outstanding achievement.

A Career of Dedication at JW Wood

Chris Clarkson has been an integral part of the JW Wood family for many years. His journey with us has been characterised by his remarkable work ethic, his insightful leadership, and his genuine passion for helping people achieve their property goals. As a Director, he has been instrumental in shaping our agency's reputation for quality service and expert local knowledge.

His commitment extends beyond our office walls.

This elevation to Fellow grade is a fitting recognition of his long-standing dedication.

We are incredibly proud to have Chris’s experience and leadership at the heart of our team. His achievement reflects the core values we strive to embed across our entire agency.

What Does FNAEA Status Mean for You?

When you choose an estate agent, you are placing immense trust in their ability to guide you through one of life’s most significant transactions. The FNAEA designation serves as a clear and powerful symbol of that trust. Awarded by Propertymark, the UK's leading professional body for property agents, the Fellow grade is reserved for a select group of individuals who have demonstrated exceptional experience and a long-term contribution to the profession.

A Stronger Future for the Property Sector

This individual honour comes at a time of significant positive change for the property industry as a whole. Propertymark is reinforcing its commitment to consumer protection and high standards with the planned introduction of a new, fully independent Regulatory Board in 2026. This initiative is designed to strengthen professional oversight and provide the public with even greater confidence when dealing with a Propertymark-protected agent.

By honouring experienced professionals like Chris, Propertymark is highlighting that the future of our industry lies in combining forward-thinking regulation with the invaluable wisdom of seasoned experts. This blend of robust governance and deep-seated experience ensures that the standards of tomorrow are built upon the knowledge of today.

At JW Wood, we fully support this drive for enhanced professionalism. Chris’s new status as a Fellow aligns perfectly with our agency’s mission to lead by example and provide a service that is not only effective but also transparent and trustworthy.

Our Congratulations to Chris

The entire team at JW Wood extends its warmest congratulations to Chris Clarkson on becoming a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents. This achievement is a well-deserved recognition of his hard work, expertise, and unwavering dedication to his clients and the property profession.
