Sales Manager, Estate Agency

@Druce is evolving, and we’re recruiting for the best in the market to be part of the journey. As the only 200 year old “start up” in London, we get it – we’re not like the rest. That’s why we need people like you (committed to action and highly ambitious) to join us as we develop a market leading platform.

We offer our customers not only full traditional estate agency services but also a wide range of complementary housing solutions, to position ourselves at the forefront of the London market. We are only just starting to unlock the potential of what @Druce is capable of, and our Area Manager opportunity is going to help us achieve this together. These roles are highly valuable to our success, and we are incredibly excited to introduce this opportunity to the market.

The person

@Druce we’re different – and that means we attract different people. Our people are highly accountable, take action and always demonstrate a customer first approach.
