Agency
What is Property Agency?
Property agency connects owners, buyers and occupiers. Agents help clients buy, sell or lease property, advising on market conditions and negotiating the commercial terms of a transaction.
What does the work involve?
An agent may represent a seller, landlord, buyer or occupier, depending on the assignment. The work combines local market knowledge, property analysis, marketing and relationships with clients and other market participants.
Teams position properties, identify suitable buyers or tenants, organise inspections and guide transactions through to completion. Assignments range from leasing a small industrial unit to selling an office investment.
