Knight Frank opens its door to real estate agents

If professionalism is your guiding light and you are tempted by the world of residential agency and consultancy services, this could be the job for you.

A global business that advises owners and users of land and property on every aspect associated with real estate is looking for sales agents to join its Hong Kong team of 100 professionals.

Through its strategic alliance with Grubb & Ellis and its partnerships and affiliates in more than 30 countries worldwide, Knight Frank can call on a network of 10,500 people in more than 200 offices on five continents.

'Our approach in the local residential market is very much based on our model in marketing international property, focusing on high-end properties and aiming to provide high quality information and services to our clients on both sales and purchase,' said Andrew Pang, executive director for residential sales at Knight Frank's Hong Kong branch. His office is looking for individuals with experience in the local market.

But Mr Pang said that because Knight Frank's local and international residential units had been merged into one, 'potential candidates will also have the added benefit of exposure to some of our international projects, such as projects in Britain, Phuket and Bangkok in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia'.

The Knight Frank official said applicants for the sales positions must possess an Estate Agents Authority licence and added that fluent English was also important because 'the majority of our investors are western expatriates'.
