Office Manager / Valuer – Estate Agency

An exciting opportunity to take a leading role within a successful independent estate agency.

I am really pleased to be working with a well-established, independent estate agency that has built an excellent reputation for its personal approach, exceptional customer service and strong relationships with its clients.

This is a business that believes estate agency should be about people, not just property. With a welcoming boutique office, a loyal client base and a close-knit team, they offer a refreshing alternative to the more corporate estate agency environment.

They are now looking to recruit an experienced Office Manager / Valuer who can combine a passion for winning new business with the ability to lead, motivate and support a small team.

The Opportunity

This is a varied, hands-on position that will suit an experienced estate agent who enjoys being at the heart of the business.

You will play a key role in driving sales performance, generating new instructions and ensuring the office continues to deliver the high standards of service that clients have come to expect.

Importantly, this isn’t a role where you’ll simply sit behind a desk managing people. You’ll be actively involved in valuations, winning instructions, negotiating sales and making things happen.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out market appraisals and convert valuations into new instructions.
• Proactively generate new business through prospecting, telephone calls and building relationships.
• Lead, motivate and support the office team, creating a positive and productive working environment.
• Oversee the day-to-day running of the office.
• Conduct viewings, negotiate offers and assist with sales progression where required.
• Build and maintain excellent relationships with vendors, purchasers and the wider local community.
• Ensure the office operates efficiently and in accordance with relevant legislation and compliance requirements.
• Help develop ideas and initiatives to grow market share and strengthen the agency’s local presence.

About You

We are particularly interested in speaking with experienced estate agents who have a strong track record in residential property sales and are ready to take ownership of a busy office.

Ideally, you will offer:

• At least 3–5 years’ experience within residential estate agency.
• Proven experience carrying out valuations and winning instructions.
• Strong sales ability and a proactive approach to generating business.
• The confidence to lead and support a small team.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and organisational skills.
• A genuine passion for delivering outstanding customer service.
• A professional, personable and approachable manner.
• The ability to work independently, make decisions and take responsibility.

Previous management experience would be advantageous, although an ambitious Senior Valuer or Assistant Manager looking for that next step would also be encouraged to apply.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive salary package, dependent on experience.
• The opportunity to play an important role within a respected independent business.
• A friendly, supportive and close-knit working environment.
• Genuine autonomy and the ability to influence how the office operates.
• A business that values quality service, teamwork and long-term relationships.
• A refreshing working environment with a genuine emphasis on work-life balance.

Interested?

If you’re an experienced estate agent who enjoys valuing property, winning business and leading from the front, this could be an excellent opportunity.

Whether you’re an established Office Manager looking for a change of environment or an ambitious Valuer ready to take the next step, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
