PERSONALITY: Kevins Richardson


Kevin Richardson, of Garside Waddingham


What qualifications do you need? Althou^ some estate agents look to employ graduates, in the main this is a career v/here a lack of formal qualifications will not hold you back. A confident, outgoing personality along with enthusiasm and drive are the kind of qualities that vrill give you the edge.


Any other requirements, for example health and fitness or age?


Whether you are office based or visit properties you will not need anything more than normal levels of health and • fitness. There are no age restrictions


and the job v/ould suit all ages from school leavers up.


m


How long does it take to qualify? There are no legal qualification requirements although most companies run training courses for new recruits and there are various vocaUonal qualificab'ons offered by


organisaOons such as the National Association of Estate Agents. The beauty of the job is that you continue to learn throughout your career as new situations and challenges occur.


What sort of starting salary and package can you expect?


Most trainee estate agents will start on a small, basic salary and then earn commission on the sales that they generate. In addition, there are a lot of places that offer perks such as company cars, as you’ll be out and about for quite a lot of the time. The sky is the limit for someone at the top of their game in this industry so it’s a great career for people who want to make their mark.


What sort of personal skills make someone best suited to a career? The best and most important skills for estate agents to have are the


ability to listen and understand - good


. communication is essential. You need to able to v/ork under your own initiative as well as in a team and most of all, you need to like people.


What sort of career prospects and structure is there?


I started out as a trainee negotiator and progressed quite quickly to a senior negotiator and then branch manager - for anyone keen on climbing the ladder this can be achieved within a few years. It is also quite common for employees to form their own businesses and many of the


most successful companies started out this way.


What kind of job satisfaction can you expect from a career? I have alvrays got a buzz from selling properties and the best thing about this career is that your individual


efforts have a direct impact on the outcome of the sale. Along with this, peoples’ lives and aspirations are directly linked to moving home and it is very satisiying to be able to play a part in helping them.


In 50 words, sell us your profession.


Even after 25 years I still find coming to work exciting, no two days are the same and the variety of people and property always bring fresh challenges. If you’re looking for a rewarding career I would certainly recommend estate agency and my advice: take the job seriously and smile!
