  CENTURY 21®

  Feb 2013 - May 2013

  Lettings and Sales Associate

  As Lettings & Sales Associate I was primarily accountable for sourcing potential new tenants for property listings whilst following up leads proactively and promptly. I worked in close collaboration with landlords to identify specifications and subsequently advertised properties through various websites including Prime Location, Right Move and Zoopla. I also contributed to the processing and negotiations of lettings and sales processes including administering documentation, inventories and credit checks as required. In addition, I provided comprehensive support and advice to clients, applicants and tenants and maintained and updated tenant, landlord, property and allocation of keys ensuring accuracy. One of my biggest achievements during my short term with the role was to significantly improve the company brand and customer engagement through cultivating and managing effective relationships with landlords to increase the company’s property portfolio.
