New Homes recruitment

Within this specialism, New Homes refers to professionals employed directly by housebuilders and residential developers.
This includes New Homes Sales Advisors, New Homes Sales Executives, New Homes Sales Managers and other professionals employed directly by the organisation developing and selling the homes.
Reap's separate Estate Agency, Lettings & Property Management specialism covers New Homes professionals working within estate agencies and specialist New Homes agencies appointed to market and sell developments on behalf of housebuilders and developers.
Ongoing residential operations
From handover to long-term estate stewardship.
Residential development does not always end when the final home is sold or occupied. Some developers retain responsibility for aspects of property management, estate management, communal areas, open spaces and wider operational stewardship.
As residential developments evolve, ongoing estate and open space management can form an important part of long-term stewardship. This can include the management of communal and green spaces and the longer-term requirements associated with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), where developers retain management or stewardship responsibilities.
Reap's focus remains on the property and operational professionals responsible for managing these residential environments. This does not extend into general environmental, ecology, horticulture, arboriculture or landscaping recruitment.
