Overview
Assisting with administrative roles and shadowing viewings. Speaking with contractors, landlords, tenants and potential clients. Working on a project throughout the internship for a presentation at the end. Helping to run various social media accounts.
Skills
I learnt all about the real estate market, how to stand out within a highly competitive market such as the one in prime central London, and how to be client facing - balancing the needs and competing interests of prospective clients, landlords and existing clients.
Responsibilities
Due to the nature of the clients my responsibility could only be limited. However, through the training and support of my colleagues my responsibility increased. As a result I became more confident and learnt more everyday about how the role truly works.
Support & Guidance
I received fantastic support from my team and the wider office. I shadowed and worked with the lettings department, sales team and the super prime lettings team in SW&HOCO. Within my own team - my constant questions were always answered with a smile, no matter how busy they were.
Culture
Very pleasant - a particular highlight was the KF cricket match which was a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and relax with other interns.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it greatly and would recommend it to all - regardless of previous experience in the Property world.
Yes
Be open to learn, in a fast-paced environment - don't go in thinking you know it all ... because you don't. Most importantly, enjoy it and ask as many questions as you can.
