Castlegate Lettings and Sales
Dear Mrs Townsend,
I am writing to apply for the Sales and Lettings Negotiator role at Castlegate Lettings and Sales. I have worked for two years at an independent agency in a similar role, carrying out around 25 viewings a week and progressing sales and tenancies through to completion.
What I enjoy most is helping people through a big decision. Last autumn a first-time buyer nearly pulled out of a purchase when the survey came back with a few problems. I went through the report with her, spoke to the vendor and the solicitors, and agreed a small reduction, and the sale completed three weeks later. I follow up every applicant the same day and I take care with paperwork, including anti-money laundering and right to rent checks.
Castlegate's local reputation and its place on the high street are exactly what I would like to grow with. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, and I am happy to work evenings and Saturdays.
I would be glad to meet you and talk about how I could help the branch. Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
Ruth Campbell
Tips for a estate agent cover letter
- Include a number, such as viewings a week or sales progressed, and say what period it covers
- Tell one short story of keeping a sale or tenancy together
- Mention your full UK driving licence and your own car, since viewings often need both
- Show that you handle paperwork and checks carefully as well as talking to people
- State that you can work evenings and Saturdays if you can
