HURFORDS ESTATE AGENTS PROPERTY VALUER/LISTER (JANUARY 2022 - PRESENT)
WITHIN LESS THAN TWO YEARS I HAVE GAINED A WEALTH OF ESTATE AGENCY EXPERIENCE STARTING FROM AN ENTRY LEVEL SALES ADMINISTRATOR, THEN DEVELOPING SALES SKILLS TO NEGOTIATE MY OWN OFFERS AND DEALS, WHICH HAS ENABLED ME TO PROGRESS IN MY CAREER AND BECOME THE SUCCESSFUL PROPERTY VALUER I AM TODAY.
 

WORKING IN A HIGH END ESTATE AGENCY HAS GIVEN ME THE EXPERIENCE TO GENERATE OPPORTUNITIES AND SUCCESSFULLY CONVERT VALUATIONS IN TO NEW BUSINESS AT A 51% CONVERSION RATE SINCE FEBRUARY 2023.
 

I TRHIVE OFF MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND I’M EXTREMELY PERSONABLE WHICH ARE SKILLS I UTILISE TO BUILD RAPPORT WITH HIGH-END CLIENTS AND ALWAYS PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.
 

MY COMPETITIVE NATURE GIVES ME THE DRIVE TO REACH TARGETS AND MAXIMISE ALL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MY PERSONAL GOALS AND POSITIVELY IMPACT THE BRANCH TARGETS.
I AM CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND NEGOTIATE OFFERS TO RESULT IN A SUCCESSFUL SALE AND MANAGE THE LEGAL PROGRESSION TO REACH A POINT OF COMPLETION WHILST MAINTAINING A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT.
 

USING MY LITERACY SKILLS TO CREATE PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONS WITH AN ATTENTION TO DETAIL TO ENSURE EVERY PROPERTY IS MARKETED TO ITS HIGHEST POTENTIAL TO MAXIMISE ACTIVITY LEVELS AND VIEWS FROM PROSPECTIVE BUYERS.
BEING ORGANISED WITH GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS ARE VITAL FACTORS WHICH I HAVE TRANSFERRED FROM EACH OF MY ROLES AT HURFORDS IN ORDER TO MEET THE DAILY JOB EXPECTATIONS.

I HAVE EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOCAL PROPERTY MARKET AND USE THIS ALONG WITH NUMERACY SKILLS TO ANALYSE DATA AND COMPARABLES TO CONFIDENTLY VALUE PROPERTIES IN LINE WITH CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND VENDORS EXPECTATIONS.
