Graduate Surveyor Review

My role is very varied, I work on pitches to win sales, marketing brochures, appraisals and valuations all the way through to successful sales and finalizing the legal coordination and due diligence needed to exchange. I often coordinate and facilitate site inspections and client interviews also, I am trusted just as much as those higher up in my team.

I have learnt everything needed for this job, i did not know about any of the software needed prior. I can now facilitate complex appraisals to value an asset, I now understand how to pitch correctly and complete on a sale of a high value asset.

I am treated the same as qualified surveyors. I am trusted no less due to my age or time in experience. I recently lead the sale of a mixed use investment opportunity on my own, I conducted all the site inspections, coordinated the bids and assisted the client in selecting the successful bid. I was trusted to coordinate the two legal firms to complete the deal for my team.

I think I proved myself as outgoing and eager to learn from the beginning. This made my team believe I didn't need as much guidance and I worked better being trusted and independent which they know compliments my style of learning. Extra support was avalible if and when I needed.

A very forward thinking, inclusive and progressive firm. Mental health and mutual respect is key throughout.

Its been fantastic, I have cemented in my mind the career I want and the company I want to work for.

Yes

Go in with an open mind, speak up when things are not working for you but be understanding everyone works differently. In a male dominated industry don't let external clients which may be rather traditional in their views discourage you, CBRE will always support you in this.
