This high flyer needs a wingperson – could this be you?
After launching tall Poppy in christchurch almost 4 years ago, Debi has built a successful and busy team. she now requires a likeminded real estate savvy person to come alongside her to help with her everyday tasks, supporting both herself and her team when required.
What skills do you need this person to have? Debi: they would need to have their real estate certificate. Preferably some experience in the real estate field either as an assistant, administrator or a salesperson. Perhaps a young person new to the industry with their certificate wanting to learn from an experienced operator. i need this person to be highly aware of details, an excellent speller, have good initiative and be prepared to use it. an ability to follow instructions is also imperative. they would need a vehicle and to be well-presented in all aspects.
How many hours a week would the position be? Debi: it would be 20-30 hours per week depending on skill sets and i would love to work with somebody who has the ability to be a little flexible. some weeks i am absolutely run off my feet and others are a little more relaxed. somebody who can step into the breach when things are manic then enjoy lighter weeks when they occur would be amazing.
What profile of person have you found in the past to work best in this role? Debi: this is a really close relationship where i usually end up friends with the person. i love having a laugh, stopping for lunch when i can or occasionally skiving off when a mental health day is required. i’m quite sensitive to others and their needs and love being able to have a give and take relationship with time and availability. that said, i am happy to provide guaranteed hours so they can know where they are at for their own financial purposes. i need somebody who is comfortable with part-time for the foreseeable future and preferably doesn’t come into the role seeing it as a stop-gap for something else. i have previously had Pas who have been with me for many years at a time and this would be my preference. i need a cool, calm and collected person who can keep me on track when things are super-busy which is most of the time to be honest.
When are you wanting this person to start? Debi: i would like this person to be able to start at the end of January 2022.
How do they apply for this role? Debi: Please send an email application with a cV and brief cover letter to debi.pratt@tallpoppy.co.nz
