Estate agency manager — Aberdeen

It's an exciting time to work in the residential property sector in Aberdeen. And, our Ledingham Chalmers Estate Agency (LCEA) team is looking for an estate agency manager to help drive sustained growth.

A bit about us. This video marks three decades of Ledingham Chalmers and explores our heritage, culture and what happens next.

A central part of our approach is our core values, which guide how we work with each other, and our clients.

The role

Do you know the property market inside out? Do you have a great track record of leading a team that delivers a consistently high standard of service for clients? Then we'd love to hear from you.

This role's responsibilities fall broadly into three categories: strategic planning and the delivery of estate agency services; people and resource management; and systems, process management and quality control.

Fundamentally the role is crucial when it comes to ensuring we achieve consistently high client service standards.

Strategic planning and delivery of estate agency services

Key activities include —

  • Comprehensive reporting to partners on aspects such as service standards, property sales statistics, referrals and competitor analysis

  • Championing our client service charter (under development) — The LC Way

  • Identifying and pursuing new business opportunities, including cross referrals

  • Working with partners and briefing the marketing team on LCEA's strategic requirements for campaign development

People and resource management

Key activities include —

  • Day-to-day leadership of the estate agency team

  • Identifying targets and KPIs for team members and supporting them as they work towards those

  • Conducting staff performance reviews

  • GDPR compliance

Systems, process management and quality control

Key activities include —

  • Ensuring we meet, or exceed, standards set out in the LC Way service charter (under development). This includes ensuring proactive, regular follow ups with clients take place as well as identifying where property marketing strategy reviews are needed to ensure homes continue to reach as many potential buyers as possible

  • Identifying additional service standard benchmarks and reporting to partners against those

  • Reviewing and identifying opportunities for further efficiencies in our systems while also achieving high levels of content accuracy, quality and consistency. This includes the information we post on our social media channels

What can you bring to LCEA?

With this type of role, it'll come as no surprise we're looking for someone who can champion our core values and be a strong advocate for delivering on our client service charter.

You'll have a proven track record in the property market and will be able to demonstrate —

  • Strong team leadership

  • Project management experience

  • Success in business development

  • Client advocacy — specifically that you understand the importance of providing an accessible, positive experience for clients from start to finish

  • Excellent attention to detail

  • A friendly, professional approach

  • An in-depth understanding of the the importance (and potential) of digital marketing, including social media, in the residential property sector
