Culture & fit: is this you?
Beyond experience and network, we are looking for a particular mindset. You should be energised by responsibility, motivated by results and comfortable operating in a high-expectation, high-trust environment.
You might be the right fit if…
You have outgrown the structure, ceiling or culture of your current agency and are ready for more responsibility and earning potential.
You already have a strong London network and are known for originating your own instructions and buyers.
You are a natural business generator who enjoys building relationships and creating opportunities, not just servicing inbound leads.
You prefer complex, high-value transactions and long-term client relationships over short-term, high-volume churn.
You are relationship-led, commercially astute and comfortable advising HNW and UHNW clients with sophisticated requirements.
You think internationally and see the value in a cross-border platform with genuine global reach.
You are motivated by progression, seeing a clear path from Negotiator to Senior Negotiator, Associate Director etc.
You hold yourself to high professional standards and take pride in delivering a premium, discreet service.
This probably isn’t for you if…
- You rely heavily on portal leads and walk-ins and are not comfortable generating your own business.
- You do not yet have a meaningful London property network or track record in residential sales.
- You prefer very rigid corporate structures with limited autonomy and narrowly defined responsibilities.
- You are primarily focused on quick wins rather than building sustainable relationships and repeat business.
- You are uncomfortable working with international clients or coordinating cross-border transactions.
- You need close, day-to-day supervision to perform and are not motivated by self-directed, revenue-linked performance.
Compensation, OTE & benefits
We are committed to rewarding performance properly. The package is designed to be highly competitive for experienced negotiators in the prime London market.
Core package
- Competitive base salary, dependent on experience and track record.
- Uncapped commission structure, paid as a percentage of completed transactions.
- Clear, transparent commission framework aligned with personal revenue performance.

Benefits & platform
- Prestigious Mayfair W1 office address and environment.
- International referral pipeline from our offices in Jordan, Türkiye, Qatar, Spain, Dubai and other markets.
- Structured career progression path: Negotiator → Senior Negotiator → Associate Director → Director.
- Support for relevant professional qualifications and CPD, including NAEA Propertymark.
- High-quality marketing support across photography, videography, digital campaigns and collateral.
- CRM and technology infrastructure designed for prime residential business and cross-border collaboration.
- Regular market briefings, training and access to selected industry events and hospitality.
- Supportive, collaborative culture with regular access to the Sales Director and wider leadership.
- Opportunities to work on cross-border transactions and international mandates.
- Holiday entitlement and core benefits in line with industry standards.
