'I'm honoured' - Blackpool estate agent and owner of Tiger Sales & Lettings up for national industry job

Blackpool estate agent and business owner Craig Webster has been confirmed as a candidate for Vice President of NAEA Propertymark, one of the most senior elected positions within the UK's leading professional body for property agents.

Craig, who founded Tiger Sales & Lettings in Blackpool in 2008, has grown the company into one of the Fylde Coast’s best-known independent property firms. He has also established himself as a recognised voice in the wider property industry through participation in advisory panels, industry events, and professional standards initiatives.

"It is a genuine honour to be standing for the position of NAEA Propertymark Vice President,” said Craig. “Property has provided me with incredible opportunities throughout my career and this feels like the right time to give something back to the profession that has given me so much.

"Over the last few months I have had the opportunity to engage with members from across the country and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our industry. The conversations have reinforced my belief that professional standards, education, member engagement and practical support will be critical as the sector continues to evolve."

The election is part of Propertymark’s democratic governance process, allowing members nationwide to vote for representatives who shape the profession’s future. Alongside Tiger Sales & Lettings, Craig owns auction and investment business Webbmove and contributes regularly to discussions on regulation, technology, and housing market trends.

‘Opportunities and challenges’

Craig believes the industry is entering a significant period of change, with increasing regulation, technological innovation and growing consumer expectations shaping the future of property agency.

"The industry is changing rapidly. We know regulation will continue to increase, technology will continue to evolve and consumer expectations will continue to rise. My view is that these changes present opportunities as well as challenges, but it is vital that agents are properly supported through them.

"Professionalism, qualifications and raising standards are incredibly important, but we must also ensure that change is implemented in a practical way that allows businesses to adapt successfully."

If elected, Craig would join the leadership team representing estate agents across the UK and supporting Propertymark’s mission to raise professional standards.

Voting in the NAEA Propertymark election is currently open to eligible members until voting closes at 11am on Thursday 18th June 2026.
