A bit about you
With a passion for new home sales and achieving sales targets, youll have a background in property sales in a new homes or estate agency environment, including knowledge of affordable tenure products and outright sale. You'll be able to hit the ground running as you'll know all about the financial requirements to buy, including mortgage processes and financial assessments. Youll be self-motivated, an energised team member with excellent organisational skills. If youre brilliant at building relationships with your customers which lead to a deal close, then this is the icing on the cake (or should we say the sold sign on the door!).
 
Well sometimes need you to travel to our different sites or to our office in Reading or London for team meetings, so ideally youll have a driving licence and access to a car which we will pay your business mileage for travel.
