The Role
We're looking for an experienced Senior Sales Negotiator to join our sales team and play a leading role in converting valuations into instructions, matching buyers to the right properties, and driving transactions through to successful exchange and completion alongside our in-house sales progressors.
This is a senior, client-facing role suited to a confident, target-driven property professional who thrives on negotiation and wants to take on more responsibility, such as mentoring junior negotiators, managing a busy pipeline, and helping shape how the branch performs.
Key Responsibilities
- Register buyer enquiries, qualify their needs, and proactively match them to suitable properties on our books
- Conduct viewings and follow up promptly and professionally to secure feedback and offers
- Negotiate offers between buyers and sellers to achieve the best possible outcome for all parties
- Progress agreed sales through to exchange and completion, liaising with solicitors, mortgage brokers, and other agents in the chain to keep transactions moving
- Support and contribute to valuations and new instructions, helping to build the branch's pipeline
- Build long-term relationships with buyers, sellers, developers, and referral partners to generate repeat and recommended business
- Maintain accurate records on the branch CRM, ensuring GDPR and regulatory compliance at every stage
- Mentor and support junior negotiators, helping to raise standards across the team
- Represent Sims Williams professionally at all times, in line with our reputation for a straightforward, personal service
