Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Savills?
Savills is an enjoyable and rewarding place to work with fantastic learning and development opportunities. Rotating is fantastic for professional development and meeting other real estate professionals has been invaluable.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I have started in very good rotations for a base understanding of the real estate industry.
My main responsibilities have been preparing reports for directors, resolving tenant issues, and also liaising with other real estate professionals across the industry to obtain information and resolve any disputes.
