Market Property

One of the responsibilities that you may have as a lettings agent is to market the property for your landlord. This can include taking photographs of the inside and outside of the property, which will then be used on platforms such as Rightmove and Zoopla to market the property. You may also have to create floor plans, to post with your property advertisement online. This is a crucial part of the role as you need to show and advertise your property in the best light possible, to find the right tenants in minimal time for your landlords needs.

Correspond with Potential Tenants

You will also be corresponding with potential tenants. Once you have started to advertise your property, you will have potential tenants contacting you for further information on the property and to arrange viewings. It will be your responsibility to speak with them and get to know your potential tenants, and provide them with any further information on the property and surrounding areas that they require. You will be taking your potential tenants details and information, understanding what they are searching for and their budget, and arranging viewings.

Conduct Viewings

As a lettings agent you will also have to conduct property viewings - ensuring that you find the right tenants for your landlords property. This will entail arriving at the property and meeting your potential tenants, and showing them around the property. You will be giving your potential tenants further details and information on the property, and answering any questions that they may have. This is a super important part of the role, and is exciting as you get to get out of the office and meet new people.
