National Apprenticeship Week: Developing Future Talent at Avocado Property
As part of the Momentum Portfolio, we’re not just talking about growth; we’re actively investing in it by bringing in fresh talent, new perspectives.
Here at Avocado Property, we don’t follow the crowd - we walk our own path. That’s why we’ve taken a bold step forward in shaping the future of estate agency by hiring apprentices as a key part of our business strategy. As part of the Momentum Portfolio, we’re not just talking about growth; we’re actively investing in it by bringing in fresh talent, new perspectives, and a dynamic approach to the property industry.
Why Apprentices?
The traditional recruitment model often prioritises experience, but we believe that attitude trumps everything. Skills can be taught, knowledge can be gained, but passion, curiosity, and drive? That’s something innate. Our apprentices bring exactly that to the table, and in return, we equip them with a wealth of industry expertise that spans every aspect of the property journey.
From selling homes to understanding property finance, from ensuring the right surveys are conducted to protecting assets - our apprentices receive a deep dive into the mechanics of the property sector. Through our partnerships with Mortgage Tribe, Survey Network and Soteria Planning we’re providing them with hands-on learning experiences that give them a full-circle understanding of the industry.
Learning the Avocado Way
Our apprentices don’t just learn the basics - they gain comprehensive knowledge across key areas of the industry, including:
Property Sales & Marketing – Understanding how to position homes in the market, using digital tools, social media, and content-driven strategies to attract buyers.
Mortgage & Finance – Learning from our partners at Mortgage Tribe about securing the best mortgage deals and understanding affordability.
Surveying & Due Diligence – Working with Survey Network to grasp how properties are assessed to ensure buyers are making informed decisions.
Asset Protection & Planning – Gaining insights from Soteria Planning on how to safeguard investments and plan effectively for the future.
Customer Service Excellence – Learning how to build strong relationships, handle negotiations, and deliver an outstanding experience that fosters trust and client satisfaction.
Building Long-Term Loyalty & Growth
By investing in apprenticeships, we’re building a team that grows with us. The loyalty that comes from nurturing talent from the ground up is invaluable - when people feel invested in, they invest back into the business with dedication and heart. This isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about fostering the next generation of property professionals who will help shape the industry.
Our apprentices aren’t just learning from us - we’re learning from them too. Their unfiltered creativity, fresh insights, and fearless approach to marketing challenge the norms of traditional estate agency. They help us stay ahead in an ever-evolving market, ensuring that we remain innovative, adaptable, and future-focused.
At Avocado Property, we’re not just selling houses; we’re shaping careers, redefining industry standards, and proving that apprenticeships are the key to long-term success.
