You may:

• visit sellers and landlords to value properties
• communicate regularly with potential buyers and tenants to share details of properties that meet their requirements
• arrange viewing appointments and show properties to buyers or renters
• get feedback on viewings
• negotiate between buyers and sellers
• generate sales leads for mortgages and conveyancing
• deal in person, on the telephone and through email with solicitors, financial advisers and surveyors
• manage auction sales
• work to meet sales targets
• update computer records

You could work in an office, at a store, at a client's business or at a client's home.

With experience and a good sales record, you could be promoted from sales negotiator to senior negotiator and then branch manager.

Larger chains of estate agents may offer more opportunities for promotion than smaller companies.

You could also become self-employed as a partner in a firm, or set up your own agency.
