Are you looking for your first role as an estate agent? And are wondering, what are the most commonly asked interview questions you should expect? Interviews can be daunting, and it can be tricky to know what types of questions that your potential employer may ask you. You want to be prepared for your interview as much as possible, and feel confident about the answers that you are about to give no matter what questions you are asked.

Here at Pear Recruitment, we want to explore just a few of the most commonly asked questions that you may be asked at your Estate Agent interview, to ensure that you are as prepared. We are a property recruitment agency, helping candidates find the right roles within the property industry across London, Essex, Hertfordshire and Kent.

We work on roles across all levels - whether you are looking for your first entry-level role into the industry, or a senior or director level position. For more information on commonly questions that you may be asked at your estate agent interview, keep reading below.

Why Do You Want To Become An Estate Agent?

This is one of the first questions that you might be asked during your estate agent interview, and is certainly one of the most important. This question gives you the opportunity to explain your passion and interest in property and show your potential employer why you want to become an estate agent. You can explain your interest in property and the industry, that you want to help people find new homes, and show how passionate you are about becoming an estate agent.

You want to show your potential employer that you understand what an estate agent does, and explain why this interests you and why you think the role is for you. Every employer wants to hire a candidate that actually enjoys the role they are in, and not just hire a candidate who is looking for a 9-5. Show your true passion for the role, and why you are the ideal candidate.

What Relevant Experience Do You Have?

Another commonly asked question is about any relevant experience so your employer can understand what you can bring to the role. When answering this question you want to be able to show your skills and any previous experience that will make you stand out from the competition. If this is your first role in the industry, then you need to pick out aspects of your previous employment that could add value and show any transferable skills.

For example, perhaps you have worked in a customer-facing role in the past, driven to meetings, managed multiple projects at once, worked to targets, or handled paperwork. Think about what skills you have from previous roles that you can bring to this role, and what relevant experience you have. If you have already worked as an estate agent or in a similar role prior, make sure to highlight this and everything that you learnt and experienced in this previous role that could benefit you.

What are You Looking for in Your Next Role?

This is a commonly asked interview question at a wide range of interviews, whether it be your first estate agent role or a sales director position; either way, its important to ensure that you have a strong and positive answer for this question.

You want to show your potential employer that you are interested in working in the role long term, and that what they offer matches what your criteria. Its your chance to show your potential employer what you know about them, and how this matches with what you are searching for.

You can discuss how you want to grow and progress in your career, how you'd like to climb the ladder internally, and how you'd like to work somewhere that is always growing, expanding and progressing. Show your potential employer your dreams and goals when it comes to the property industry, and why you would be perfect for the estate agent role.
