• Working the existing property stock to generate viewings, offers and sales
• Carrying out regular seller reviews and maintaining strong relationships with our vendors

• Following up market appraisals and valuations to win new instructions
• Generating new business and identifying opportunities within the local market
• Driving referrals and income from Financial Services and Conveyancing
• Monitoring offers, sales and fall‑throughs and taking action where needed
• Ensuring buyers and sellers receive regular, proactive communication
• Supporting the Branch Manager with the overall performance and growth of the branch
• Coaching the team and helping create a positive, competitive and high‑performing environment

• Previous estate agency sales experience
• Strong knowledge of the sales process from instruction through to completion
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• The confidence to lead and motivate a team

OTE £30,000 - £40,000 with the opportunity to earn more through strong performance.

If you’re an experienced estate agent ready to take more ownership, lead a team and play a key part in growing a successful Huddersfield branch, we’d love to hear from you.
