Agents Together reaches mentoring milestone

Industry charity Agents Together is celebrating reaching new mentorship and volunteering milestone.

It has revealed that 800 free mentorships have now been arranged since the launch of the estate agency industry foundation in June 2020, amounting to more than 31,000 hours of engagement and support for property professionals.

Additionally, the number of volunteer mentors now signed up to provide support and mentoring across the industry has reached 400. 

Many originally started off as mentees and have themselves now chosen to help others by becoming a mentor.

Sarah Edmundson, chief executive of Agents Together, said: “This support for the industry would not be possible if it wasn’t for the incredible work undertaken by the volunteer mentors and the dedication of our volunteer team of founder members, our relationship manager Sam Offley, and our trustees and other supporters. 

“I am humbled and grateful to, each and every one of those 400 plus individuals."

Offley added: “Making 800 mentorship matches is an incredible milestone to achieve and being able to help and match like-minded people across the country is a wonderful programme to be part of.

“The mentorship programme invites applications from anyone in the industry who feels they would benefit from someone to talk to; someone to bounce ideas off, take inspiration from and be comforted by wise words and experience.

“The feedback has been incredible, with both mentors and mentees reporting how rewarding and vital the programme has become for them. The reviews can be seen on the YouTube channel or on The ESTAS - who support Agents Together.”
