Be the engine room of a high-performing estate agency branch. At Reeds Rains, we believe great branches aren't built by one person - they're built by great teams.

We're looking for an exceptional Sales Manager to become the co-pilot to our Branch Manager; someone who thrives on leadership, loves estate agency, and takes pride in delivering outstanding results for customers and colleagues alike. This is a pivotal role within the branch. While the Branch Manager is often out winning new instructions and conducting valuations, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the sales business – leading the team, selling properties, managing the pipeline and ensuring every sale crosses the finish line. If you're passionate about people, property and performance, we'd love to hear from you.

Owning the Sales Pipeline

• Managing sales from offer agreed through to exchange and completion.
• Proactively progressing sales and overcoming obstacles.
• Conducting regular pipeline reviews to identify risks and opportunities.

Delivering Exceptional Customer Service

• Carrying out seller reviews and providing expert market advice.
• Recommending and negotiating price reductions where appropriate.
• Ensuring properties are marketed effectively and remain competitive.
• Managing diaries to maximise productivity and customer outcomes.
• Maintaining compliance with company and regulatory standards.
• Ensuring the branch consistently delivers an outstanding customer experience.
