Fine & Country Announces Recruitment Open Evening

This September, premium estate agency brand, Fine & Country, is holding a Recruitment Open Evening in their flagship office on Park Lane in Mayfair, London. The event will be held on Tuesday 17th September from 5pm and will provide networking opportunities over welcome drinks. The event encourages attendance from prospective recruits within any area of agency, any locale in the country and any level in their property career, from sale progressors to office administrators, to directors and associates.

Nicky Stevenson, Managing Director of Fine & Country, says: “I am looking forward to welcoming people from all levels, backgrounds and locations to our prestigiously located Head Office in September. It is a great opportunity for us to display the tools we deliver to our network, including all the branding, marketing, technical support, and widespread exposure needed. These tools support our agents to create clear points of differentiation over the competition, allowing them to focus on building their portfolio of unique premium properties and promoting the personality. As we continue to grow throughout 2024, we invite, and encourage, those interested in learning about a career with Fine & Country to join us in London on the 17th September.”

“The event is set to be an inspiring affair, with a drink reception offering the chance for candidates to network with Fine & Country business owners and Head Office staff, to discover more about the brand, the culture and understand the career opportunities available. We are looking for applicants who are motivated by creating their own success, and who love exquisite property and want to work alongside likeminded people for a multi-award-winning premium brand in the lucrative upper-quartile of the property market.” Stevenson continues.

In the competitive landscape of the UK residential property market, particularly in the upper quartile, aligning with a luxury brand offers significant strategic advantages for estate agents. Research shows that very few locations have a single agent dominating both the general and high-end property sectors. By joining a prestigious international brand such as Fine & Country, agents can effectively bridge this gap and access the entire market spectrum.

Fine & Country UK Business Development Manager, Gaven Swan, commented that the Open Evening was sure to generate some astute conversations between industry professionals. “One of the career options I am particularly passionate about is our Associate offering. Becoming a Fine & Country Associate enables our agents to have the freedom of being their own boss, with the backing of a prestigious global brand and infrastructure, enabling them to take their careers to the next level. I hope to see many ambitious and eager people join us for our open day.”

Registration via RSVP is compulsory for this event, please register through on the Fine & Country Careers site or get in touch at events@fineandcountry.com if you have any questions.
