We are looking for a Sales Negotiator to join a highly successful and established branch in South West London, currently on track to achieve an incredible £1 million in revenue this year. This is a branch that consistently performs at the highest level, with a dominant market share across its core postcodes and an experienced team of professionals who have built and progressed their careers within the business. Now, they are looking for another ambitious individual to join the team and contribute to the next stage of their success. Why This Opportunity? This isn't simply an opportunity to join a busy estate agency. You'll be joining a branch with a proven track record, strong local presence and a culture where ambitious people are given the opportunity to progress. To support you as you establish yourself within the role, you'll receive a guaranteed income of up to £35,000 for your first four months. This gives you valuable time to build relationships, develop your pipeline and get some of your initial sales underway and progressing before moving onto the full commission structure. With the right performance, there is significant scope to build your earnings beyond the basic salary. The Role As a Sales Negotiator, you'll be central to the branch's sales performance, working closely with buyers and vendors and taking responsibility for driving opportunities forward.

Staying informed on local market activity, property values and competitor performance to help strengthen the branch's position. Who Are We Looking For? We're ideally looking for someone with previous estate agency or property sales experience, particularly someone who is already comfortable operating within a busy sales environment. That said, we're equally interested in hearing from high-performing sales professionals from other industries. If you're used to working towards ambitious targets, managing a strong pipeline and converting opportunities, your skills could transfer extremely well into this role. You'll need to be: Naturally confident, personable and able to build relationships quickly. A strong negotiator who enjoys achieving the best possible result. Commercially driven, with a genuine appetite to earn. Proactive and comfortable generating your own opportunities. Resilient and able to perform in a fast-paced, target-led environment.
