A number of letting agents were recently surveyed about what they most like and dislike most about their job.
The survey, undertaken by RentProfile, found that the most enjoyable part for agents is helping people find a new home at 39%. This is closely followed by meeting new people at 36%.
They also like the variety and working in a team – both 25%.
Agents most dislike as part of their role the complaints and having to deal with rude clients at 32%.
This was closely following that was admin and repetitive tasks (27%), with long hours and weekend work taking third place (20%).
In terms of managing tenancies, they found that the second most difficult part of the role is keeping up to date with changing legislation (18%). This was only followed by enquiries that are not serious (39%).
Having had the misfortune to work in the sector and for the dreaded Purplebricks- I’d say the thing I enjoyed most about the job was leaving it !

Most rewarding: Looking back at the number of happy faces enjoying their life in our properties year, after year.
Dislike: Rogue tenants nearly always on benefits who put no effort in and don’t give a %$££ and play the system to make as much grief as possible for the landlord, then watch them walk away laughing.
