About the Company
Traditional ways of selling a property are fraught with issues - the lottery of finding an estate agent or auction house that have a track record of success and know what they are doing, the expense of fees, the risks of buyers pulling out, lowballing or gazundering, all combined with a notoriously slow and shaky conveyancing process.
SmoothSale is leading the way in changing how properties are sold. Established in 2021, we are one of the UK's fastest-growing property trading companies, and a principal player in the quick-sale market. We help homeowners sell their property fast by buying directly from them ourselves, managing all aspects of the sales and conveyancing process without the risk of 3rd party buyers dropping the ball. And rather than the typical 6‑9 months process, we can do so in as little as 7 days.
The company has doubled in size organically each year since inception, and is now looking for a Head of Marketing to drive our next phases of growth.
While we are dedicated to our work, we also understand the importance of enjoying what we do. At SmoothSale, we create a positive and enjoyable workplace where team spirit and camaraderie thrive. The office is a relaxed, fun environment, enjoys a casual dress code, and regular company events – all key to collaborative culture.
About the Team
