More staff take-ons at iamproperty

Newcastle-based PropTech firm, iamproperty, continues to grow at pace taking on 70 new team members to reach 250 staff at its head office and across the UK.

The PropTech firm is attributing its rapid expansion to an increase in online property auction popularity as well as the positive reaction to the launch of iamproperty movebutler, a platform for agents and consumers which is designed to address pinch points in the moving process.

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the employer has been operating a hybrid working model which has allowed accelerated growth across the UK, as well as within their North East head office.

Ben Ridgway, iamproperty’s Group Managing Director, said: “We’ve always been a fast paced, growing business but the recent digital adoption across agents and consumers has seen our biggest year for growth yet.”

Alongside tech, marketing and business development roles, the organisation is recruiting nationwide for its popular sales training programme for Associate Auction Specialists to support the growth of its auction services offering iamsold, the UKs largest residential property auctioneer.

Jamie Cooke, Managing Director at iamsold said: “We’re really encouraged by the increase in agent awareness and consumer confidence surrounding the Modern Method of Auction, as well as our other solutions to modernise the property market.

“We have always been an ambitious scale up and our plans for more innovation and growth make it a really exciting time to join us”.
