Our brilliant Lettings Negotiator, Joanne Godwin, is sharing an insight into her daily role at Coleman Estates, what she’s currently aiming for and some top tips for buyers. Get to know a bit more about Joanne below…
3 years! I love the job and the people I work with. I also love the thriving atmosphere throughout the office; everyone in the office are very friendly, and Max and Kate are very likeable bosses who treat you like a family member instead of just an employee.
Lettings Negotiator – booking viewings, accompanying viewings, viewing feedback, attending inspections, completing check-in/out inventory reports, negotiating with landlords and applicants, taking properties on (taking photos), property spot checks and general landlord liaison.
Yes, I had seen some boards around the Newport area which is where I lived at the time.
I wanted to enhance my estate agency skills to a high standard and loved the idea of joining a family business. It’s delightful to work here, and every day is a blessing coming into work to a job I love.
Coleman Estates has improved my confidence massively. I have learnt so much in the last 3 years and I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity to increase my knowledge of estate agency. I have even completed my NVQ Level 2 Residential and Management course this year. Max and Kate are also giving me the push forward to enter into a Level 3 qualification!
We have recently let a property that sits in the grounds of Eyton Hall which was previously a Porter’s Lodge – one of the walls was purposely built without windows as the staff were prohibited from looking directly at the hall! Luckily the rest of the property has lovely views over the grounds.
Lettings is a fast-paced and dynamic environment with different challenges every day; no two days are the same! Any problems I have are overcome with the support of my director Kate Coleman.
Friendly, positive and professional.
Honesty.
If a buyer is looking to buy and rent out a property, I would suggest a property near local schools as the majority of our tenants have families/children.
Being proactive.
Walk my German Shepherd, Leo, spend time with my partner, going to the gym, cooking new recipes, spending time with friends, and shopping!
