About You
We are looking for an ambitious, self-motivated sales professional who thrives on taking ownership of their own success. This is an opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, the resilience to overcome challenges, and the drive to consistently deliver outstanding results.
At McCarthy Stone, you'll do more than sell homes - you will help people make one of the most significant decisions of their lives, guiding customers with empathy, confidence and professionalism as they begin the next chapter of their retirement.
You will work across our developments in York and the surrounding areas, supporting customers across multiple locations and building strong relationships within the local community. Flexibility, organisation and the ability to work independently across a varied portfolio of developments are essential.
We are seeking an individual with a proven track record in customer-focused, target-driven sales, ideally gained within estate agency, housebuilding or a similarly consultative sales environment.
You will be commercially astute, highly self-sufficient and comfortable working independently, taking accountability for generating opportunities, managing your own pipeline and delivering against ambitious sales targets.
Success in this role requires someone who naturally builds trusted relationships, quickly understands customer needs and balances commercial outcomes with genuine customer care. You'll be a confident communicator and negotiator, resilient in the face of setbacks, motivated by achieving results and committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience from first enquiry through to completion.
If you are someone who enjoys working autonomously, is energised by achieving targets, builds lasting customer relationships and has the determination to make things happen, we'd love to hear from you.
