City + Capital are currently representing an award-winning property development firm who are heavily involved in developments across the North of the UK.

The Company: Our client originally commenced as a property development finance lender and continues to support experienced property developers with access to funds for key property projects today. Over the last decade they have achieved outstanding growth due to success and have expanded out into the managing and completing their own property developments, with a view to selling luxury units at the end of the development cycle. This means they now have a vast number of property developments across the North of the UK (and wider) that require unit sales, to achieve profitable returns.

From here you will be able to agree launch dates for property and unit sales. You will liaise between the developer and estate agencies to ensure properties are marketed and listed in areas that attract the right clientele, and accurately, in line with valuation and sales potential. Once units and properties are advertised for sale, you will motivate the agencies to drive customer attraction and will undertake your own business development efforts, which may include holding ‘open houses’ and ‘viewings’ directly with prospective buyers. This role is the perfect blend of project management, marketing and sales.

You will thrive when managing multiple projects simultaneously & will enjoy working towards sales targets. You’ll be comfortable negotiating deals, managing client relationships, leading projects and ensuring sales are delivered to the highest standard. A flexible approach is essential, with the willingness to travel, stay overnight, and be ‘hands-on’ at open days and show homes when needed.

Salary will be complemented by access to our client's highly attractive commission structure, offering commission per unit sold where you've had direct impact, alongside a car allowance, company credit card and comprehensive pension scheme. Our client's explosive growth has been built on promoting talented individuals who deliver results, and with their current pipeline of over 1,000 units in construction, the sales division is expected to continue expanding significantly in scale. This offers outstanding opportunity to propel both career standing and earning potential as you contribute to shaping the future of this dynamic, award-winning organisation.
