Being up to date and in the know is a must for prospective candidates. Showcasing your understanding of the current (and future) residential property market is key, especially in an interview setting.

That means you have to manage your own time effectively and also keep on top of other people’s time management too.

Managing a property effectively means making sure that your whole team runs to a time schedule that you set out.
