Love property? Brilliant with people? Ready for your next challenge?
Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Shared Branch Commission and Performance Incentives
We're looking for a talented and enthusiastic lettings professional to join the Sowerbys team in King's Lynn as our business continues to grow.
This isn't just another lettings role. It's an opportunity to become part of a successful, ambitious and growing business where your ideas, personality and contribution really matter.
At Sowerbys, we believe great lettings is about much more than matching people with homes. It's about building relationships, delivering exceptional experiences and being the trusted property expert that landlords and tenants turn to time and time again.
We're looking for someone who shares that passion and has good experience in the lettings sector. Someone who enjoys working in a team, meeting people, making things happen and taking real pride in doing a great job.
If you're an experienced lettings professional with plenty of drive, a commercial mindset and a genuine enthusiasm for property, we'd love to meet you.
The opportunity
No two days in lettings are ever quite the same.
You'll be at the heart of our lettings business, working with a fantastic team and playing an important role in everything from helping people find their next home to advising landlords about compliance. One minute you'll be working with contractors to resolve maintenance issues, the next you'll be making sure paperwork is ready for a new tenancy.
You'll have the freedom to build relationships, take ownership of your work and make a genuine difference to the continued success of Sowerbys.
What will you be doing?
- Making moves happen. Managing the lettings journey from the first enquiry right through to handing over the keys.
- Getting out and meeting people. Conducting viewings, meeting landlords and showcasing some fantastic homes.
- Managing maintenance works. Helping tenants and landlords keep their homes in good working order and compliant.
- Winning new business. Identifying opportunities and helping to grow our lettings portfolio.
- Being the local property expert. Advising landlords on compliance, rental values, market trends and how to get the very best from their investment.
- Building lasting relationships. Becoming a trusted point of contact for landlords, tenants and applicants.
- Making deals happen. Negotiating offers, agreeing tenancies and ensuring everything progresses smoothly.
- Keeping everything on track. Managing referencing, tenancy documentation, compliance and the finer details that make a great customer experience.
- Being part of the bigger picture. Working closely with colleagues across lettings, property management and sales to deliver a joined-up service.
And, of course, being ready to roll up your sleeves and support the wider team whenever needed!
Is this you?
We're not looking for someone who simply wants another job in lettings. We're looking for someone who enjoys what they do, brings energy to the workplace and wants to be part of something successful.
You'll need to be someone who:
- Has previous experience in residential lettings and a good understanding of property management.
- Loves meeting people and has a natural ability to build rapport and trust.
- Is confident, personable and comfortable speaking with landlords about their homes and investments.
- Has a commercial instinct, enjoys spotting opportunities and gets a buzz from winning new business.
- Takes pride in delivering outstanding customer service.
- Is organised, proactive and able to keep plenty of plates spinning.
- Has a sound understanding of lettings legislation and the importance of doing things properly.
- Brings a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine team spirit.
- Is motivated to develop, learn and progress their career.
You'll also need a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle for business use.
