Video: How can you become an estate agent?

Posted on: Friday, May 18, 2018


Have you ever thought of being an estate agent? There are some skills that will help you in the field. Here are tips from Guild estate agents.

 

 

1. Experience in customer service and sales will be a useful asset. Time working in hospitality or retail can give the confidence and skills needed to be an estate agent.

2. Good knowledge of the local property market will be very useful. Think about starting as an administrator to get an idea of the business, build customer relations and to discover if this is the right career for you.

3. Buying and selling houses is a stressful process that can result in emotional clients. Estate agents need to be patient with their clients because this will be one of the most important decisions of their lives.

4. There is clear progression in estate agency, providing you with clear goals and chances to move up the ladder.

5. Estate agents will juggle a lot of tasks, like visiting clients and landlords to do valuations, arranging viewings, and negotiating between buyers and sellers.

6. It is often required, but not necessary, to be able to drive to appointments.

Having recently used 3 other agents I can say with hesitation that WGH are in a different league, very professional, efficient, polite and friendly. 3 other agents have marketed my house which only achieved 2 viewings in total. I had 2 viewings with WGH in the first week which I put down to their marketing skills

WG-H couldn't have been more helpful, queries were answered immediately by professional courteous staff , and they even offered to turn the heating up in our holiday house when the weather was particularly cold. Gayle would ring us during an evening to respond to our query , if required and Amanda even paid a cheque into our bank account. What a lovely company to work with.

Adrian and his team have been amazing from start to finish. Very polished team, with the highest standards. I have recommended them to friends and family who have also been impressed by them.
