REED is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of our client for an exciting Area Manager opportunity covering Kent.
If you’re ambitious, results-focused and thrive on creating opportunities, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
The Opportunity
As Area Manager, you will be the face of the business across Kent, developing relationships with estate agents, investors, solicitors, housing associations and other property professionals whilst generating auction instructions and growing market share.

Key Responsibilities
*Generate new auction instructions through networking, prospecting and business development activities.
*Conduct property appraisals and provide expert guidance to clients on the auction process.
*Develop and maintain relationships with estate agents, solicitors, surveyors, investors and referral partners.
*Increase market share and raise brand awareness across Kent.
*Manage client relationships throughout the auction journey.
*Identify and secure new business opportunities through cold calling, networking events and face-to-face meetings.
*Deliver exceptional customer service to vendors, buyers and bidders.
*Maintain accurate records and manage activity through CRM systems.
*Work collaboratively with the wider auction team to maximise opportunities and revenue growth.
