About the opportunity
Build your own estate agency business with the support of iad and the Orion network.
We're looking for motivated, customer-focused people across the UK who want to take ownership of their business, develop a strong local reputation and guide clients through one of life's biggest decisions.
This opportunity would suit an experienced estate agent considering self-employment, an independent agent seeking a supportive network, or someone with relevant sales and relationship-building experience looking to move into property.
You'll operate in your local market, combining home-based administration with appointments, viewings and business development in your area.
What the role includes
You will take responsibility for developing your business and managing the client relationship throughout the property sales journey. Your activities will include:
- Generating new business through networking, referrals, prospecting and local marketing.
- Building relationships with homeowners and maintaining regular contact with your database.
- Conducting market appraisals and presenting your service to prospective sellers.
- Winning instructions and agreeing a clear marketing strategy with clients.
- Coordinating property photography, descriptions and marketing materials.
- Managing enquiries, qualifying prospective buyers and arranging and conducting viewings.
- Communicating feedback and providing sellers with regular, useful updates.
- Presenting offers and negotiating on your client's behalf.
- Progressing agreed sales through to completion, liaising with buyers, sellers, solicitors and other parties.
- Maintaining accurate CRM records and following applicable compliance requirements and iad procedures.
- Developing your local reputation through consistent service, reviews and recommendations.
Through iad and Orion, you will have access to:
- Training and guidance to help you establish and develop your business.
- Coaching around business planning, lead generation, client service and accountability.
- Technology and CRM tools to manage your contacts, properties and sales pipeline.
- Property marketing resources and access to portal advertising through iad.
- A collaborative network of self-employed agents who share knowledge and experience.
- The opportunity to explore team building and mentoring as your business develops, subject to iad's requirements.
About you
You'll be comfortable taking initiative, starting conversations and following through on commitments. We're looking for people who bring:
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- A commitment to professional standards and excellent customer service.
- The organisation to manage appointments, follow-ups and an active sales pipeline.
- The discipline to generate business consistently and work independently.
- Good local knowledge and a willingness to keep learning.
- Confidence using digital tools, social media and a CRM.
- The ability to travel within your chosen area for appointments and viewings.
Estate agency experience is advantageous. We also welcome applications from people with relevant sales, business development or customer-facing experience who can demonstrate a clear commitment to building a property business.
Self-employment and earnings
This is a self-employed business opportunity. There is no employed salary or guaranteed income; earnings come from completed business under the applicable iad commission structure.
You will be responsible for running your own business, managing your tax affairs and meeting applicable business and regulatory costs. We will explain the commission arrangements, service fees, start-up requirements and support available before you make a commitment.
You will manage your own diary while ensuring you can meet client needs and consistently develop your business.
