Yopa is a next generation hybrid estate agency, as a team we’re biting at the heels of Purplebricks and giving the high street the jitters. We’ve had massive growth over the last 18 months. If you’re hungry for success like we are, we want to hear from you.
Selling a home can be stressful and incredibly expensive. Too often, traditional estate agent overpromise and under-deliver. That’s where YOPA comes in. We’re using technology to let people take control of their sale, and charging them a fixed fee rather than a whopping percentage of their sale price. The average YOPA customer who sells with us saves thousands in estate agency fees. Customers get the best of both worlds: a dedicated Local YOPA Agent to guide them through their sale, combined with the cost-saving efficiency and transparency of an online service.
We’re passionate about passionate people - to set you out from the crowd make sure you tell us why you want to work for the future of property selling. What gets you out of bed in the morning? What's your proudest moment? What's your life ambition?
