Behind Every Great Lettings Team is an Even Greater Support Team
Behind Every Great Lettings Team is an Even Greater Support Team
I recently spoke with a candidate who has spent years in a back-office role. She said:
“I am not heard or seen in the back office. All the glory goes to the Managers and Negotiators.”
It really struck a chord with me.
The Real Engine of Success
As part of my job, I speak to numerous property managers and support staff. Time and again, I hear how much they contribute behind the scenes—and how often they go unrecognised.
The truth? Negotiators close deals—but property managers and drive repeat business.
Property Managers Drive Repeat Lettings Business
A great property manager doesn’t just “manage properties”—they shape the success of the entire office and pave the way for repeat lettings business:
-
Keeping compliance airtight
-
Ensuring tenants are happy and landlords loyal
-
Spotting problems before they become crises
-
Creating systems that let sales teams focus on closing
Their work drives repeat business, referrals, and a strong reputation. Without them, even the best negotiators would struggle.
Support Staff: The Launchpad for Negotiators
Strong back-office teams handle the admin, compliance, and details. They remove friction so negotiators can do what they do best—sell.
With the right support, your sales team can thrive—and your lettings department succeeds.
Share the Glory
Leaders, here’s the takeaway: celebrate your wins as a team. Recognise and appreciate your property managers and support staff.
A powerful lettings department starts with a powerful support team. Behind every great negotiator is an incredible back-office team making it all possible.
