Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The daily tasks varied from writing reports, comparables, visiting sites, sending emails, calling agents, or updating requirements. I was given a good level of responsibility and there were rarely moments where I had nothing to do during the day. Most days I would spend in the office at my desk.

I could have been given more responsibility and would have liked to visit more sites with my team.
