Property Broker job summary
A great job description starts with a compelling summary of the position and its role within your company. Your summary should provide an overview of your company and expectations for the position. Outline the types of activities and responsibilities required for the job so jobseekers can determine if they are qualified, or if the job is a good fit.
Example of a Property Broker job summary
Our established Property Brokerage firm has more leads than we can reasonably manage, so we’re hoping to add two more experienced and licensed Property Brokers to our team. The successful candidates will be responsible for overseeing a team of Agents as well as brokering deals for the sale and letting of residential properties. We work with single-family dwellings as well as multi-unit complexes, so if you have experience in both aspects of the residential market, we want to hear from you. If you’re studying for your licence, we might be willing to take you on as an Agent with opportunities for advancement.
