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.
Before starting with this particular estate agency, I worked part time in their busy Winton office every Saturday from 2001 to 2004. My roll on the weekend was to deal with clients personally and over the telephone taking enquiries, booking in viewings and valuations whilst showing passion, along with enthusiasm and excellent customer service. I then moved to a full time position that took me to offices in Bournemouth, Dorchester and Lower Parkstone. It was here that I progressed to valuations and the office enjoyed a very successful period, having increased the instruction and sales levels by 30%.
