Job description

Overview

At The Coastal House, we’re not your typical estate agency. We’re a small, boutique team based in Dartmouth and Kingswear, and we’re all about celebrating the lifestyle that comes with living in this beautiful part of the world. From harbourside cafés and hidden beaches to countryside walks and coastal sunsets, every home here has a story, and we love bringing those stories to life. For us, it’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people find the place where their next chapter begins.

The role

We’re looking for a Sales Manager to join our team. Think less corporate boardroom, more conversations over coffee with clients, finding creative ways to connect buyers and sellers, and building relationships that really last. You’ll help lead our sales team, spot opportunities in the market, and be a trusted guide for people making big (and exciting!) life moves. Every day is different, and that’s what makes it fun.

Benefits

• You’ll split your time between our offices in Dartmouth and Kingswear
• You’ll be part of a boutique agency where your voice is heard and your ideas matter
• You’ll work with a supportive, friendly team who believe in collaboration (and making work enjoyable)
• You’ll meet interesting people and play a role in their big life moments
• And, of course, you’ll get to enjoy the South Devon lifestyle – fresh sea air, coastal walks, harbourside lunches, and that slower, more relaxed pace of life that makes this place so special

Qualifications

You’ll fit right in if…

• You’ve got some solid sales experience (property knowledge is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker)
• You’re confident, approachable, and genuinely enjoy working with people
• You’re organised and calm, even when things get busy
• You’ve got a love for (or at least curiosity about) the South Devon lifestyle and property market
• You’re tech-friendly and happy to pick up new systems along the way
• Most importantly, you’re proactive, positive, and excited about being part of a boutique agency where no two days are the same
