The property market in Spain is exciting whether you open a Hamiltons Franchise on the coast, in the country or in a major city you will find life endlessly busy, interesting and rewarding. There isn’t really ever an average day in the life of a Hamiltons Real Estate Franchise agent in Spain but, here are some of the things you can expect to have to find time to include in each daily schedule. The rewards however are that you are working in a beautiful country with like minded people who are eager to follow your example and find their dream home in Spain. The life as a Hamiltons estate agent is not just about business it is a lifestyle and any day will mix a blend of professionalism with Spanish charm and the high-energy needed to meet the demands of our multinational brand.
The Hamiltons Brand
With over two decades of experience with the Spanish property market in the Costa Blanca, Hamiltons of London are now expanding across Spain offering the opportunity for entrepreneurs throughout the country to build their own business as one of our franchises. Those who follow this path will benefit from our established reputation and proven business plan but, your local success is down to your hard work, enthusiasm, customer service skills and love of the task at hand.
A Spanish Start to the Day
Take time to enjoy the scenery of your town when you wake up with a cup of coffee while reviewing your schedule for the day which can include property valuations and listings, viewings, liaising with your team and / or head office in Moraira, dealing with enquiries from both domestic and international clients, negotiating deals and, when all other tasks are complete, administrative and accounting duties are also essential. You need to be driven and flexible in this busniness but the rewards are worth it. The thrill of closing that deal and making somebody’s dream a reality, the excitement of waking up knowing that you live and work in this wonderful country and the way of life which allows you to mix business and pleasure by meeting clients, vendors and business associates over a coffee or light lunch at a local café to discuss any updates before heading to your next viewing or returning to the office. An added bonus is that you work where you live so, although you will be driving between properties and the office, you will not have the stress of a long commute to and from work.
On The Road
Your agenda may have allowed you to pop in to the office early to check in with colleagues to review the day ahead but you’ll soon be out on the road meeting with vendors to discuss the value and sale of their property, then on to meet with some lovely people keen to join the community and buy a property in Spain with Hamiltons of London. The proceedures we have in place will help you enormously to keep track of your daily tasks and clientele in our CRM system but it is your local knowledge and connections that will really help you build trust and provide your clients with your knowledge of the properties and locations you are selling and showing. You will need excellent listening skills, vendors want you to understand that whether they are selling a one bedroom apartment or a luxury villa it is their home and as such has immense personal value, buyers need to be heard so that you can fully understand their likes, dislikes and budget to assess which property best suit them even if sometimes you need to throw a wild card in to the mix. As a Hamiltons of London franchisee you need to be able to think on your feet and adapt to the people you are working with at all times in a pleasant and empathetic fashion.
The Close of the Day
Once all your appointments for the day are completed take time to return to the office and ensure that all administrative tasks are dealt with and your team updated before the end for the day so that tomorrow you can start afresh. Once this is completed you can enjoy your own piece of paradise in Spain and take time out to relax as the sun goes down with friends and family. Take this time for yourself because each day will be busy and pleasantly exhausting! There is of course even more behind the scenes work than mentioned here but, if this rewarding and wonderful lifestyle might be just the career move you are looking for, contact us now at franchise@hamiltonsoflondon.net.
