Senior Auction Valuer NEW

Maidstone, Kent
AMR – Specialist Property Recruiters

A really exciting opportunity has arisen to join an expanding operation as a Property Auctioneer in the Kent area.

Continued success and growth in the company now means that an Auction Valuer is required to maximise provided and personally generated leads in the area directly with vendors, estate agents, solicitors and other associated property businesses.

The successful agent will have a good geographical knowledge of Kent and the surrounding areas, as well as ideally someone who has pre-existing relationships with property businesses in this area to further grow opportunities and successfully close business. Previous experience in property auctions would be advantageous but is not essential, as training and support can be provided to an experienced estate agency professional looking to transition fully into the auction sector.

Salary and Benefits:

• Basic salary of £30k – £40k per annum and OTE £55k – £75k
• Up to 10% commission structure.
• Company fuel card
• Predominantly Monday-to-Friday working hours
• No regular weekend working.
• Opportunity to develop a local territory within the Kent area.
• Support from an experienced auction team.
• Ongoing training in property auctions and valuation processes.
• Career-development opportunities within a growing property-auction business.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

• Identifying and canvassing sources of new listings for residential, commercial, land and investment properties, as well as utilising incoming company leads.
• Undertaking appraisals, providing realistic guide ranges, fees and advising of the auction process and its benefits.
• Converting instructions, as well as marketing and selling these through proactive negotiation.
• Servicing Appraisals received via all sources and converting into new business and sales.
• Building on existing working relationships to maximise business opportunities.
• Being responsible for cultivating, supporting and encouraging new buyers, as well as guiding them through the auction process.
• Responding to enquiries via telephone and e-mail.
• Conducting viewings from listings.
• Taking an active role in marketing, brand awareness and developing new territories.
• Keep abreast of market conditions and advise clients accordingly.
• Delivering excellent customer service to clients via telephone, e-mail, online and video communication.
• Awareness of all advertisement of online portals with a view to contacting potential vendors to see if they would consider selling via the auction platform.
• Ensure up to date record reporting and compliance.
• Work towards achieving personal and team targets.

Currently residing in the Kent location, previous experience working at a property valuation level (4 years) is also essential for this role. Excellent communication skills both in person, written and on the telephone are required. If you are self motivated and have an ability to generate and close business in the property sector, not to mention relishing a commission structure that really rewards you for your efforts, then this role could be the right fit for you.

Please note that a full driving licence, your own car, along with a willingness to travel when needed is also required.
