During my work experience at Buttercross Estates, I had the opportunity to learn a wide variety of skills and gain insight into the day-to-day operations of a professional estate agency. One of my tasks involved calling leads and providing feedback on the phone. This helped me improve my communication skills and understand the importance of follow-ups in real estate.

I also took part in property inspections, where I learned to identify key features and potential issues in homes. This was an eye-opening experience, giving me a behind-the-scenes of what agents look for during a viewing.

Another highlight was filming videos and taking photographs of properties. I enjoyed capturing the best features of homes and understanding how media plays a crucial role in marketing. I helped create multiple adverts for the company’s website, Instagram, and Facebook. Designing these adverts taught me how important visual appeal and clear information are when promoting properties online.

I got to sit in on a few board meetings as well, where I observed how business decisions are made and how the team plans for growth and improvement. This gave me valuable insight into the strategic side of running a business.

Above all, what made the experience truly enjoyable were the friendly and supportive people at Buttercross Estates. Everyone was welcoming, supportive, and willing to make time for me when needed.

Overall, my time at Buttercross Estates was both educational and inspiring. It gave me hands-on experience in a professional environment and helped me develop skills that will benefit me in any career I pursue.
