Sherry Fitzgerald
I took part in the Sherry FitzGerald TY week, from the 23rd to the 27th of October. Before beginning the week I thought that real estate was only about selling houses but I quickly learned that there is a lot more to it. The course gave me an insight into what it would be like to work in a company like Sherry FitzGerald. I also had a lot of fun learning a huge amount about Sherry FitzGerald. I now understand that selling houses is not the only thing involved in real estate, there are so many different sections in this job, such as advertising, marketing, finance and it is one of the jobs that I will be looking at after school. In particular, I would love to be in the marketing sector of real estate as it now focuses on using social media which I can relate to.
Thursday was my favourite day. We were all sent off to different Sherry Fitzgerald branches, luckily I was sent to the one in Foxrock which was really handy as I got to sleep in till 10:30, and then walk 5 minutes (there is a picture of the office below). I was very glad that I was sent with a friend because it meant I had someone to chat to, there was also another girl who was also sent to this branch and she was also very nice .During the day we were brought out to see one house and we showed a very kind couple two apartments they even asked me to explain the key selling points of one of the apartments, which was quite cool. We then drove to an auction in leopardstown, this was super fascinating as people were bidding huge amounts of money against each other and emotions were running wild in the auction room. I had so much fun looking at houses and showing the couple the apartments and the auction was amazing.
All in all it was an amazing week which taught us all so much.
