Job description

Estate Agent (Property Guru)

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest chapters in someone’s life. This role isn’t about pushy sales tactics — it’s about listening, noticing the small details, and guiding people through the process with honesty, empathy, and a steady hand.

The Role (opening doors)

You’ll be helping people through the highs (and the occasional stresses) of moving home. It’s part property, part people, and entirely about doing right by both.

What You’ll Be Doing (the bricks and mortar)

Welcoming clients and really listening to what they need.

Organising and hosting property viewings that feel welcoming, not rushed.

Building trusted relationships with buyers, sellers, and landlords.

Keeping the admin in order — listings, paperwork, and the little details that keep things moving.

Negotiating deals fairly, respectfully, and with everyone’s best interests in mind.

Noticing the details others might miss, because they matter more than most think.

What You’ll Need (the “bring your own” bit)

Previous estate agency experience is great, but the real essentials are people skills.

Clear, warm communication — whether in person, over the phone, or in writing.

Organised, reliable, and comfortable spinning a few plates at once.

An eye for detail that goes beyond the obvious.

Some knowledge of property processes and systems (or a quick learner’s mindset).

A genuine wish to help people find not just a house, but a home.

What You Might Not Like (let’s be upfront)

The hours aren’t always a neat 9–5.

Some days will be more paperwork than property tours.

Emotions can run high — moving home is a big deal.

If you’d rather stay in the background, this probably isn’t your role.

What To Do Next (your move)

If this feels like the kind of work you’d be proud to do, send over your CV and a short note about why you’d be a good fit.

It’s not about being perfect on paper. It’s about caring enough to do the small things well — because they make the biggest difference.
