Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day would consist predominen TLC in assisting with office based work. I would be answering the phone and helping with enquiries which ranged from day to day. I would help the agents attend market appraisals. On some days I was able to go out and conduct viewings at the property’s. I would help answer email enquiries. Also managing vendors, viewing clerks and viewers times and availability.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes!! I was given more than I thought I would get, and right from the beginning. This was great as it really pushed me to reach my full potential. It also filled me with confidence as my colleagues trusted my ability in what o could do and achieve. Being given this responsibility really enabled me to develop all my skill and gave me a true insight into the industry.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt how to use Reapit, a statement used in the property sector. I developed my telephone skills, before this placement I had never had an office based job and learning how so deal with enquiries was a great skill learnt. I developed my organisation and time management, when people wanted to view properties organising who would show them round and finding a time to fit both.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company is so neutering and inclusive. Everyone wants everyone to achieve and the nurturing atmosphere makes you feel extremely welcome and included. The support is amazing and at every level of the working hierarchy you are accepted and included. At no point did I feel that anyone was too important to talk to me. I loved the company and will hopefully be back before long!
