Confidence and knowledge
Training that breeds success; hear from some of our colleagues about what their career journey has been about.
"My success and the success of my branch is in no small part thanks to the training I received in my early days. As a 19-year-old lad it would have been easy to be dismissed when you showed up at valuations as ‘just an inexperienced kid’ and come away empty handed.
As a matter of fact, I actually still see this so often with some of our competitors. Young agents thrown into the deep end and sent out into the world with inadequate training and zero confidence.
Well, I am so happy to say that that was not how I was welcomed into Arun – I found the training to be brilliant from day one. It was thorough and detailed, and everybody knew what they were talking about."
Darren Williams
Senior Branch Partner, Wards
The sky’s the limit
Having my ambitions matched by those around me has allowed me to grow.
"The career pathway shows that, if you’re willing to work hard and put in the effort, the company will back what you aspire to become."
Ben Goldsmith
Senior Sales Advisor, Cubitt & West
Support from senior staff
It’s the small touches and the inclusivity that’s made me feel valued.
"Even as a trainee, directors would pass you in the corridor and take the time to chat with you and build a relationship."
Laura Fowler
Senior Lettings Manager, Wards
Our Network
We are the largest independent estate agency in the South East of England.
With over 100 branches in Essex, London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Arun Estates has been helping families to move forward for over 30 years.
Our locally recognised and trusted brand names offer a personal, localised experience to our customers whilst benefitting from the support and reach of a much larger agent. Our services include residential sales and lettings, mortgages, conveyancing and land & new home development.
Our company culture
The heart and soul of Arun Estates
Our staff mean so much to us, so we love it when we get to celebrate their achievements outside of the office.
Every quarter, we celebrate our top performers, top offices, and top listers with a great meal and awards. It's an excellent chance for all of our offices to get together and let their hair down, celebrating each other's achievements in the best way possible.
Arun Awards Night
One family, celebrating together
One night a year, the entire Arun Estates team get together and celebrate each other's achievements across our brands.
The Arun Awards is truly a night to remember. Special recognition and thanks are given to those in the Arun family who have gone the extra mile for our customers.
