Day in the life of... a Lettings Negotiator

From carrying out valuations to finding suitable tenants and negotiating let offers, Boydens’ Lettings Negotiators are always on the move.

Nathan Hey: Lettings Negotiator, Colchester Branch

Like most days, yesterday was a busy day so I know today will also be busy, but to start with we have our morning meeting.

In this, we discuss the events of yesterday and what today holds. After, we have a clear plan of what we want to achieve today, followed up with some high fives and motivational support from my boss. It’s time to crack on. boydens.co.uk

First things first, and that is to reply to my emails overnight, work the Rightmove and Zoopla leads, and reply to any messages.

The phones are ringing from the offset, so already we are filling up the diary with appointments.

The office is buzzing with deals being struck from new property instructions to offers to let. I work within a team of three supported by our Admin Manager and, between us all, we survive the busy morning fuelled on tea and cake.

The afternoon is secured for viewings, valuations and revamps. I am out and about meeting prospective tenants, talking to them about their requirements and matching them to properties that best meet their needs.

I personally love this part of the day as I get to meet and greet all types of people, from seasoned landlords to first time renters and put deals together, which I find very rewarding.

Late afternoon, it’s back to the o ce and on the phones providing viewing feedback to our landlord clients, as well as confirming values and services from property valuations carried out earlier in the day. The afternoon flies by and before you know it, it is 5pm. Time for a quick co ee and a couple of biscuits, and back to it. For the remainder of the day, I am on the phones again speaking to my landlord clients, updating them on up-and-coming regulations and customer service calls.

At the end of the day, we all have a quick huddle to review the day’s boydens.co.uk

A good lettings negotiator is someone who thrives on customer service and is able to naturally put people and property together. They are incredibly knowledgeable on all aspects of housing law and are able to interpret this to their clients in a manner that is easy to understand.

They are multirole in that they don’t just let properties, but will assist landlords with preparing their properties for let, best properties to purchase for the maximum return, and ensuring consistent compliance.

I am proud to say that all our letting agents in Boydens possess these skills and are ready and willing to assist landlords, new and old, with their portfolios.

events and spend a few minutes preparing for the following day, then o home for either a session down the gym or a game of football before I’m back in the o ce tomorrow to start all over again. I love connecting people and property, and this is why I am a letting agent.
