• Working closely with colleagues across the Property department to facilitate efficient transaction progression.

My client is looking for someone who:

• Be confident communicating directly with clients and industry professionals.


• Demonstrate excellent organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.

• Communicate effectively and professionally, both verbally and in writing.
