On reflection, after my first month at Paramount, I think it is fair to say that the team have been nothing short of exceptional. I would like to thank everyone for this warm welcome and for all of the help I have received.

I arrived at Paramount with little to no experience as I had never worked in the industry before. In fact, this was my first full-time job! When I joined I didn’t really know what to expect, however, I was eager to start learning. After just one month I have acquired an immense amount of knowledge but I am aware that I have only just scratched the surface and I am looking forward to soaking up more information and to continue learning.

I was fortunate enough on my second day to have Josh Pheagan as a guest. He broke down what seemed to be difficult concepts and made sense to a lot of aspects of the world of lettings. Going forward I am focused on consolidating the foundations and perfecting the basics.

Here are just 5 of the basics that I feel are of great importance to any new consultants;
 

1. Listen. To absolutely everything, take on board as much information as you can.
2. Write notes. As much as possible in order to learn.
3. Take care with keys. Know where the keys are and who needs them and when.
4. Communication. Always communicate with your team, they can always help you.
5. Language. The way you say something has a bigger impact than you think it does. Choose the right words.
