Faye goes back to classroom to secure estate agent qualification

Faye Broadley (24), sales negotiator at Petty’s in Manchester Road, passed the highly regarded NAEA (National Association of Estate Agents) Technical Award and her NVQ Level 3 in the sale of residential property.

Faye has spent the past 12 months studying an intensive distance learning course tailored for those with high levels of responsibility in an estate agency role.

Topics covered included how to implement an effective marketing strategy, providing pertinent and relevant advice to prospective buyers, understanding valuations and building defect recognition, as well as effective negotiation, on the sale of properties.

Faye said: “This course has allowed me to become skilled and confident in areas of the estate agency I wouldn’t have normally been involved in. I am certainly looking forward to putting all this knowledge into practice and hopefully building on my career with Petty’s as it will open doors for me in areas such as valuation and marketing which I have always been interested in.”

Mr Ian Bythell, a partner at Petty’s, added: “Faye is a valued member of our team at Burnley and I am confident she will take positive steps for further progression using this new skill set. As a business, training and development is vital for us and only by doing this are we able to provide the best levels of advice and service to our clients and Faye is a shining example of someone who does this every day.”
