Haart Employee Reviews

Could be better and worse, it all depends on the branch you work at. My advice is to do your due diligence in to how the culture is within the branch you’re interested in before. As some are extremely cohesive whilst others are unbearably toxic

Fast paced and always changing

Sales Negotiator (Former Employee) - Kent - 2 November 2022

Fast paced and always changing role to keep you on your toes. Team work and solo working with members of the public. The feeling of tying up a deal and handing over keys never gets old

Boring place to work at, management would chase up on you everyday, with the salary being only £13,000.

Lettings Negotiator (Former Employee) - Leytonstone, Greater London - 14 February 2022

Working long hours, 9.5hrs 6 days a week is a hassle in of itself with no suitable salary as it starts off as £13,000. Boring atmosphere as well as no proper managers. Lack of support from managers as they advice you on small basics and expect you to carry yourself on through training

Pros

Company car

Cons

Long hours Boring atmosphere Lack of support

Fast moving culture with an emphasis on hitting targets

SALES NEGOTIATOR (Former Employee) - Tooting, Greater London - 19 January 2021

Haart Estate Agents is an Estate and Lettings Agent in a very fast moving and dynamic field Property sales and lettings. Its a very interesting and varied. You can be booking valuations for the branch and assistant managers. You can also book buyers for viewings and dealing with both vendors (ie sellers) and buyers. You have to think on your feet, and build rapport with both your buyers and sellers. You also have to be responsible and reliable. We had daily morning meetings and discuss what the targets are for each day, each week and each month. You also have to be tenacious, able to deal with Rejection on a daily basis and develop a thick skin. However if you want a successful career in property. I truly believe becoming an Estate Agent will givr you a good solid ground.

Pros

Pool car provided

Cons

Long Hours, low basic

Overall Not Great

Lettings Negotiator (Former Employee) - London - 13 July 2020

So many other agents out there, this is not the one to work for. Probation period was 6 months, made redundant after 5 months and 3 weeks. Retained part of final pay (£500) to be released after inspection of company car, 4 months later, that money has still not been released, honestly better off sitting at home.

Pros

You’re employed

Cons

You have no idea how long for

Unsociable Hours

Estate Agent (Former Employee) - Lowestoft - 27 June 2020

Whilst working at haart i found that the amount of hours you put in for the salary you get was very poor. The Benefits/commission was very poor also. The company took advantage of this in my opinion. Also when you leave the company the commission that is outstanding goes straight to the company and you do not see any of it.

Pros

Car Supplied

Cons

Long Hours

Stressful & Sales Driven

Secretary (Former Employee) - Norwich, Norfolk - 27 June 2020

I worked at haart in the Residential Team and needless to say, everyday was stressful. The stress put on the branch manager was appalling as this was then taken out on the team. Meetings would often result in arguments over sales and targets. There was always competition to get leads and valuations. Working late was never not an option. It was the norm! The only saving grace was there were always incentives from both the branch manager and the company. Our branch won a lot of awards and promotions for staff were always around if they wanted to progress. The only

Pros

Career progression, rewards, incentives, good marketing

Cons

Long hours, stressful, lots of competition, poor management from higher up, very high target expectations

Shambles and disgusting

Senior Negotiator (Former Employee) - Norwich, Norfolk - 16 June 2020

The easiest thing to do in the Covid-19 crisis was sack 380 of us via a txt. The management are fighting for attention and just want to moan leader than the other and known that you can get a promotion based on looks

Pros

Its a job atleast

Cons

Management dont know what the are doing they just fight for attention

Awful company

Property marketing consultant (Former Employee) - East Midlands - 28 May 2020

The basic salary is below minimum wage yet they expect the earth from the staff. The company owner had no morals whatsoever. They way they treat staff is nothing short of obismal. I would avoid like the plague

Good place to work

Branch Manager (Current Employee) - Ely, Cambridgeshire - 14 May 2020

A lot of marketing and keeping up with trends. They do look after you and have been supportive to their staff throughout this difficult time. A good company to work for.

Awful place to work

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Loughborough, Leicestershire - 13 May 2020

Low basic, expect many hours for the pay and will run in to your evenings, also if you try and leave they try to claim you owe them overpaid wages as part of a start up package be wary of the small print catches.

My Experience

Residential Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Nottinghamshire - 12 May 2020

I worked there for two weeks and it was good. Then with the covid 19 problems, they closed a load of offices. They put 30 people from my area on a business call and sacked us all. My boss and assistant manager had a combined experience of about 20 years working there but they were sacked on the same call. No security working there as the bottom line always comes first. STAY AWAY

Horrible company

Property Marketing Consultant (Former Employee) - South West - 3 May 2020

I have never worked for a company and been treated as badly as they treat there staff!! Was made redundant over a 10 min conference call along with many others. Avoid and apply for another agency if possible.

Spicerhaart

Residential Branch Manager (Former Employee) - Plymouth, Devon - 15 April 2020

i have worked in number of estate agents and haart was by far the most fast paced, stressful company i have worked for. Long days, 6 day weeks were expected as standard, after hours work was expected to fulfill the unachieveable targets that were set. Learned a lot about different areas of estate agency and diffferent ways to gain business however their main focus in my opinion was getting new business instead of looking after existing. The girls i worked with in the office were amazing, we were a close knit team, which we had to be i think to get through the day. A lot of people put blood, sweat and tears into the company with very little thanks. Having said that they had my belief in the company and loyalty for nearly 6 years before they closed our office with no notice.
