The Company & Role:
Harte Recruitment is working with an established residential estate agency in Penrith to appoint a Trainee Estate Agent as the branch moves towards a more proactive, commercially focused way of working.
This isn't a role where you’ll sit behind a desk and hand viewings over to somebody else. You’ll manage the sales journey from applicant and vendor relationships through to your own viewings, negotiations and sales progression, while proactively creating new opportunities from the existing database.
Estate agency experience is welcomed, but drive, attitude, determination and commercial awareness are just as important.
The Person:
- No previous estate agency experience required
- All sales backgrounds will be considered, provided you have experience in both customer-facing and desk-based sales
- Confident speaking with customers face-to-face and over the phone
- Commercially minded, proactive and motivated by targets and commission
- Able to build rapport, ask the right questions and spot sales opportunities
- Determined, adaptable and keen to develop within residential property
- Comfortable conducting your own property viewings
- Ideally able to use your own car for viewings, although alternatives may be considered
The Trainee Estate Agent Role:
- Manage applicant and vendor relationships
- Qualify applicants and proactively manage sales enquiries
- Conduct your own property viewings
- Negotiate offers and drive deals forward
- Progress sales through to completion
- Generate market appraisal opportunities from the applicant and vendor database
- Support the Branch Manager/Valuer in growing instructions and market share
- Work closely with the wider branch team to maximise conversion
- Contribute to agreed sales activity, income and performance KPIs
