Douglas Allen

What is in it for you?

• A brilliant job for someone who loves people and property!

• A company that values customers and colleagues alike (currently 4.4/5 on Trustpilot)

• A company that listens to its colleagues from yearly staff survey feedback (see our website for results of between 80% - 90%+)

• A company that embraces change and moves with the times

• Helping the community is high on our agenda and we definitely put our money where our mouths are! We have raised £millions over the years for many deserving causes and we even pay entrance fees for our colleagues who want to get involved with raising money for local or national charities.

The Job

• The job is just what it suggests! Our customers’ experience starts with YOU! So, whether we are helping people to buy or sell their home, you will need to make them feel welcomed and looked after as soon as you meet them. For most of your day, you will be accompanying prospective buyers to view properties! Throughout these appointments you will be pointing out positive attributes of the home, gathering feedback and then passing any relevant information back to your branch colleagues.

• Open Houses are also very popular and time effective so you could also be hosting these events on behalf of our vendors.

• There may be times when you will be helping in the office so good communication is key together with general administration and organisational skills. Basic computer skills are also required although don’t worry we will help you learn our internal IT systems.

The Person

• This role may suit workers who have retired or semi-retired although as an equal opportunities employer we welcome applications from all suitably experienced people. Some flexibility to cover holidays and sickness is always helpful especially during our busiest times!

• A positive attitude towards work however is the most important factor as the performance of our offices rely heavily on our part time support staff.

• You will need a full driving license and your own car (with business insurance) and be confident in following a busy diary of appointments.

• And yes, you will be the type of person that would love seeing your customers’ eyes light up when they find their perfect property!

• It goes without saying that you need to be responsible, reliable, smart in appearance with great people and communication skills.
