About the Role
New Homes Sales Consultant / Sales Negotiator
Company
Our client is a well-established estate agency with a strong office network across Surrey and South West London. The business has a growing New Homes department with a healthy pipeline of developments and a wide range of stock, from boutique schemes through to larger sites across areas including Dunsfold, Teddington, Twickenham and the wider Surrey region.
They are now looking to expand the New Homes sales team with the addition of a proactive, commercially minded Sales Consultant / Sales Negotiator who can help drive enquiries, build applicant relationships and support sales across multiple developments.
The Role
This is a dedicated New Homes sales role, working closely with the Head of New Homes, existing sales team and wider branch network to generate viewings, manage applicants and convert sales across a varied portfolio of new build sites.
The role is ideal for someone who enjoys building long-term relationships with buyers, working across a broad geographical patch and being given the freedom to manage their own pipeline. Unlike a traditional branch-based agency role, this position requires a more consultative, relationship-led approach, with the ability to understand future stock, buyer motivations and wider market opportunities.
The successful candidate will be based from the company’s head office, with regular travel across Surrey and South West London, using the office network to support sales activity and build relationships on the ground.

Develop a strong understanding of current and upcoming stock, site details, pricing and buyer profiles.
-
Support launch activity, viewing days or site events where needed.
-
Help create a more competitive, target-driven sales environment within the New Homes team.
