Frequently Asked Questions

I have no estate agency experience — what should I write on my CV?

Highlight any experience involving sales, customer relationships, negotiation and communication. Starting as a trainee in an office and building up your property qualifications is a good way in.

Are qualifications required for the CV?

A recognised qualification (e.g. Propertymark/NAEA) is valued by agencies and increasingly expected. If you do not have one yet, you can write "qualification in progress" on your CV, but we recommend getting it.

How should I write my sales figures?

Write the number of deals you closed a year, your target-attainment percentage and the size of the portfolio you manage. Example: "32 deals in 2025, 120% of target". Do not exaggerate; it is verified at interview.
