At Brookings, we do estate agency differently — putting people first every step of the way. If you're passionate about building relationships, enjoy a fast-paced working day, and want to grow your career in property, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re currently looking for a full-time (trainee) Estate Agent to join our growing Romford sales team. Whether you’ve got estate agency experience or you’re new to the industry but thrive in a client-facing environment, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed.

What You’ll Be Doing

Depending on your experience, your role will grow with you. Here's what it may include:

Do you have Strong People or Sales Experience:
You’ll be trained on the following to help fast-track your development:

  • Registering applicants and managing leads
  • Conducting viewings and giving constructive feedback
  • Building great relationships with sellers
  • Reaching out to past leads to book valuations and viewings

And once you are ready, we will support you with:

  • Booking and carrying out market appraisals
  • Generating new business from existing leads
  • Taking the lead on client care and negotiations

What We’re Looking For

We value mindset over experience — but here’s what makes a great fit:

  • A strong work ethic and a real drive to succeed
  • A team player who thrives under pressure
  • Someone open to feedback and keen to learn
  • Confident communication and active listening skills
  • A background in retail, hospitality, sport, the forces or sales is always a bonus
  • Previous estate agency experience is welcome, but not essential

Non-Negotiables:

  • To live within 20 minutes of our Romford office
  • A full UK driving licence and your own vehicle

Why Join Brookings?

We’re proud of the culture we’ve built — one that’s fast-paced, supportive, and genuinely cares about its people and clients. We offer:

  • Full training and development based on your experience level
  • A clear path to progress into listing roles
  • A friendly, no-ego team that celebrates each other’s wins
