The role and responsibilities:
Working with a Mortgage Consultant and their clients from day one, you will be instrumental in ensuring that the clients complete on their overseas property transaction. Every day will be different, and the variety of tasks is considerable – from entering sales leads into the CRM system, to guiding clients through filling in their mortgage application forms, from speaking to notaires (in your fluent French) to carrying out crucial compliance checks. As well as liaising with our high-net-worth clients on their mortgage you will also be arranging all the ancillary services they may need such as buildings insurance, opening a French bank account or putting them in touch with our foreign exchange partners.
As a crucial member of our small (but growing) team you will be the first voice our clients hear when they call us. As the person who can take the administrative burden away from our Mortgage Consultants, you will also be fundamental in us being able to help more clients and increase our revenue! As you develop in the role you may also have the opportunity to train and qualify as a Mortgage Consultant managing your own clients.
We will provide you with extensive training and support.
If you are up for the challenge, then please get in touch.
