Work history

Branch manager

Wilson Thomas
Bournemouth Road Lower Parkstone Poole
2006.03 - Current

I am currently the Branch Manager overseeing the daily running of the office. I carry out valuations, converting these into instructions, taking the photos and property description with floor plans for the sales brochures, booking in appointments, handling delicate negotiations following offers being received and successfully turning these into sales. After successfully agreeing the sale, the transaction needs to be seen through to an exchange of contracts/completion, which is something that I have excelled at over the years. I also carry out property video walk throughs and property posts for social media marketing, increasing our following and reach.

  • Increased customer satisfaction by identifying and addressing their unique needs.
  • Managed challenging negotiations, ensuring a win-win outcome for all parties involved.
  • Enhanced client trust, leading to repeat business and referrals.
  • Generated listings for sales through cold calls and door knocking.
  • Improved brand visibility with innovative marketing strategies.
  • Warmly greet customers to establish positive first impressions, enhancing business opportunities
  • Fostered a positive work environment, improving overall team morale.
