Senior Sales Negotiator – Residential Estate Agency
Location: Blackburn, LancashireSalary: £27,000 – £30,000 per annum + CommissionJob Type: Full-time, Permanent
An established and growing independent estate agency is looking for an experienced Senior Sales Negotiator to join its residential sales team in Blackburn.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced estate agent who enjoys being busy, building relationships and generating business rather than simply waiting for enquiries to come in.
You will manage buyers, vendors, viewings, offers and negotiations, while also playing an important part in generating new instructions and supporting the wider sales team.
There is also genuine scope for progression for someone who would eventually like to move towards Assistant Sales Manager or Sales Manager level.
The Role
As Senior Sales Negotiator, you will be responsible for:
- Registering and qualifying buyers and understanding their requirements
- Matching applicants to suitable properties
- Arranging and conducting viewings
- Following up viewings and providing vendors with constructive feedback
- Negotiating offers confidently between buyers and vendors
- Qualifying buyers and offers before presenting them
- Maintaining regular contact with vendors throughout the marketing process
- Working closely with Sales Progression once a sale has been agreed
- Identifying potential issues and helping keep transactions moving
- Providing a high level of customer service throughout
New Business & Valuations
This is an important part of the position, so we are looking for someone who is naturally proactive and commercially minded.
You will be encouraged to spot opportunities to generate new business, including:
- Identifying buyers who also have properties to sell
- Generating valuation opportunities from the existing database
- Following up previous valuations and market appraisals
- Speaking with prospective vendors and nurturing future instructions
- Developing relationships that generate repeat and referral business
- Supporting local prospecting and marketing activity
You don’t necessarily need to be a Valuer, but you should be comfortable spotting opportunities and starting conversations that could lead to new instructions.
A Senior Role Within the Team
Although this isn’t a full management position, you will be a senior member of the branch and someone the wider team can rely upon.
You will lead by example, support less experienced colleagues and assist with more challenging negotiations or client conversations when required.
You will also work closely with the Sales Manager to help maintain activity, standards and performance across the branch.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
- Has previous residential estate agency sales experience
- Is a confident and capable negotiator
- Enjoys speaking with buyers and vendors
- Is proactive and naturally looks for new business opportunities
- Is comfortable working to targets
- Can build rapport quickly with clients
- Is organised and able to manage a busy workload
- Is confident handling more difficult conversations
- Has a good understanding of the residential sales process
- Is positive, resilient and a good team player
- Holds a full UK driving licence
Previous Senior Sales Negotiator experience would be ideal, although an experienced Sales Negotiator who is ready to take the next step would also be considered.
Knowledge of the East Lancashire property market would be a real advantage.
What’s On Offer?
- £27,000 – £30,000 basic salary, depending on experience
- Commission and incentive opportunities
- Genuine career progression
- Ongoing training and development
- Company pension
- On-site parking
- The opportunity to have a real influence on the success of the branch
For the right person, there is a clear opportunity to develop further into valuations, greater branch responsibility and ultimately Assistant Sales Manager / Sales Manager level.
If you’re an experienced estate agent looking for a role where you can be proactive, develop your career and become an important part of a growing team, I’d love to hear from you.
Apply today or get in touch with Clair from AMR for a confidential conversation.
