Experienced Sales Negotiator Lincoln 30,000 - 32,000 basic salary, with flexibility available for the right level of experience Realistic OTE c. 50,000 Let's be honest. Most experienced Sales Negotiators know within five minutes whether a role is genuinely worth considering. You look at the stock levels. You look at the quality of the team. You look at how people are treated. Then you ask yourself one simple question: "Can I actually build a long-term career here?" For the right person, the answer to that question will be yes. This opportunity sits with one of Lincolnshire's most respected independent property businesses. A firm with an enviable stock of properties, a strong reputation across the local market and a team of experienced property professionals who genuinely enjoy what they do. This isn't a branch trying to reinvent itself or rebuild from scratch. It's an established, successful business that has spent many years building lasting relationships with vendors, buyers and the communities it serves. What makes this role particularly appealing is that you'll be joining a business where success isn't built around internal competition. Commission is paid on a team basis and rewarded at sale agreed stage, creating an environment where colleagues work together, support one another and share in the success of the wider office. In an industry that can sometimes feel overly individualistic, that makes a real difference. The role itself will be familiar to any experienced negotiator. You'll spend your time speaking with buyers and vendors, negotiating offers, arranging and booking viewings, updating clients throughout the sales process and helping to progress transactions through to completion. There will be the occasional accompanied viewing when required, but this is not a role built around spending your day driving from appointment to appointment. The real value you bring will be through your communication, your commercial instincts and your ability to build trust with clients. Vendor care sits at the heart of the business. They are looking for somebody who understands that estate agency is about far more than simply agreeing a deal. It is about keeping people informed, managing expectations, handling difficult conversations professionally and ensuring vendors feel supported throughout what is often one of the biggest decisions of their lives. If you enjoy building relationships, providing regular updates and becoming a trusted point of contact for clients, you'll fit in well here. Culture is another major selling point. Staff turnover is exceptionally low and many members of the wider business have built long and successful careers there. People are developed rather than replaced. Knowledge is shared rather than guarded. Several senior property professionals within the wider organisation started in more junior positions before progressing into valuation and leadership roles. If your long-term aspiration is to move into valuations or take the next step in your estate agency career, you'll be joining a business with a proven track record of developing talent from within. Just as importantly, you'll be surrounded by experienced colleagues who know the local market inside out. You'll have access to a strong flow of activity, quality stock and the support of people who genuinely understand the challenges and rewards of modern estate agency. The hours are Monday to Friday with just one Saturday per month required. Whilst Saturdays remain one of the busiest and most productive days within the property market, this offers a far better work-life balance than many estate agency roles currently available. To be successful, you'll already have experience within residential estate agency and be comfortable managing buyers, vendors and negotiations from enquiry through to sale agreed. You'll be a confident communicator, commercially aware, organised and motivated by delivering an excellent client experience. Most importantly, you'll be somebody who understands the importance of relationships and takes pride in representing a respected local brand in the right way. In return, you'll receive a basic salary in the region of 30,000 - 32,000, with flexibility available for candidates bringing strong experience, alongside a realistic OTE of circa 50,000. More importantly, you'll be joining a business where the reputation is already established, the stock is already there, the culture is already proven and the opportunity to build a long-term career genuinely exists. If you're currently succeeding in estate agency but feel there might be a better environment out there, this could be the conversation worth having.
