Great learning opportunity in a real partnership. Clear plan to build a successful career in Brisbane’s most viewed market location, Holland Park.
Australia’s leading real estate group is looking to appoint a personal assistant (PA) to Piers Crawford. Ray White Holland Park, is rapidly growing in the real estate landscape and is known for turning traditional methods upside down. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic organisation with a vibrant culture and future, who genuinely believes that our people are our best asset.
We are seeking candidates who are focused on furthering their career in the real estate industry or have a passion and strong drive for property, and are keen to jump start a career into real estate sales.
The Challenge
You’ve probably heard that real estate has the highest paid sales staff, so no wonder the role attracts the very best people. However, listing real estate is far from easy; the survival rate of people starting in sales roles is less than 10% after two years.
Why is this?
Guiding people through the most financial important decision many will ever make: selling their own home, demands a certain sort of person with highly tuned selling skills. While great agents make this look simple if you’ve ever looked at homes for sale you’ll know there are loads of people who just don’t have it in them.
At Ray White Holland Park we are committed to growing our business with motivated sales people who want to succeed in life. We have the knowledge and proven systems to ensure your success.
YOUR ROLE; FROM PA TO SALES AGENT
Partner with a selling professional as the Personal Selling Assistant to our sales Director, Piers Crawford.
Piers’ world is fast moving and you will be in the thick of it. It would require many lengthy and elite training programs to afford you the kind of learning you will gain in this role. What Piers will look toward you for is to turn his fast transaction flow into an orderly process. Do you enjoy working with systems? Are you able to turn spontaneous opportunities into planned success? If you are keen to learn how the real estate industry works this will be an ideal partnership.
You will take responsibility for interacting with Piers’ very extensive personal database by running targeted e-marketing programs and active contact processes with established contacts to fulfil Piers’ personal standard that no client is ever forgotten. You will also learn to manage the administrative tasks that underlie the legal processes of listing and selling a home – understanding of which is essential to success in this industry.
Working so closely with a busy, selling Principal will guarantee you gain a solid working knowledge of how a successful real estate office functions.
Formal sales assistant program over 12-24 months to develop all the skills you need to work as an independent residential real estate agent
Watch and Learn
From day one and for the duration of the training program you will be participating in every residential real estate transaction that Piers is involved in. This alone will give you a wealth of information and examples that will become second nature to your own responses.
Do and Learn
Once you have knowledge of the components of listing and selling homes Piers will systematically delegate full responsibility for each component in turn until you are proficient in the skills required to confidently execute these processes alone. From the first day in this role you will be involved in the contact and prospect management tasks; you will then learn to prepare a home for sale, running the open for inspection following up buyers and then learning to negotiate the final sale.
Be and Learn
In the final stage of the cadet program you will be a full partner agent with Piers, with you now as the agent to prospective vendors and guiding them through the decision to sell their homes. In the early days you will be sitting in on these meetings with Piers. As your confidence and skills grow Piers will be sitting in on your meetings and offering feedback before and after to ensure you maximise every opportunity.
Is there a better way to build a real estate career than this? We don’t think so!

Innovation And Energy Backed By Experience

Our Rent Roll
We have one of the largest property rent rolls in the region. This is important as it demonstrates our reputation in the market place. You don’t build big rent rolls without a well-run business maintaining a first class reputation. We currently have 600 properties under our management and growing.
Why else is this important to our sales people?
Because it means that we are serving a huge number of property owners and investors every week. What a great network of contacts and opportunities as they buy and sell property today and in the future. That also gives you access to in-house opportunities that many other offices just can’t match.
