Senior Sales Negotiator

Hannells Estate Agents | Derby

A people-focused role. A supportive team. A business that does things properly.

Hannells is Derby’s top-selling, award-winning, family-run estate agency, and we’re looking for a Sales Negotiator to join our growing team.

If you’re professional, motivated, enjoy working with people, and take pride in delivering great service, this could be the role you’ve been looking for.

This is an office-based but highly varied position where no two days are the same.

The Role

As a Sales Negotiator, you’ll play a key role in delivering what we call “moving experiences” to buyers and sellers across Derby.

Your day-to-day will include:

✅ Registering buyers and matching them with suitable properties
✅ Booking valuations and arranging viewings
✅ Providing feedback and marketing updates to sellers
✅ Negotiating offers to secure the best possible outcome
✅ Instructing sales and supporting transactions through the early stages

You’ll be trusted to manage your workload, communicate professionally, and represent Hannells to a high standard at all times.

What We’re Looking For

Whilst we understand the importance of attitude, professionalism, and work ethic – this role does require previous estate agency experience.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

✅ An understanding of the property buying and selling process
✅ A strong sense of customer service and professionalism
✅ Excellent organisation and time management
✅ Confidence speaking with people face-to-face and over the phone#
✅ High personal standards and a team-first mindset

Skills can be taught. The right attitude and work ethic matter far more.

Why Join Hannells

👉 Family-run business with no corporate culture
👉 Supportive team environment with shared branch commission
👉 No internal competition or offer-poaching
👉 Established, respected local brand trading since 2003
👉 Real emphasis on service, not box-ticking KPIs

Our reviews consistently describe us as professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. That’s the standard we work to, and the type of person we’re looking to add to the team.

Working Hours

📅 5 days per week
📆 Every other Saturday, with a fixed day off during the week
⌚ 8:45am start with a morning team meeting
⌚ 5:30pm finish (4:00pm on Saturdays)

We have six sales branches and a central lettings branch across Derby, all with nearby parking and local amenities.
