iamproperty to create 100 new roles over next 18 months

iamproperty is set to create 100 new roles over the next 18 months.

The majority will be based in the North East as well as hybrid opportunities across the UK.

Now in its 15^th year, the Gosforth-headquartered property firm was founded in 2009 by Ben Ridgway and Jamie Cooke.

The duo have grown it to become a £76 million revenue business employing over 650 people, with a network of over 6300 UK estate agency branches.

Jamie Cooke, iamproperty co-founder, said: “When Ben and I got into the industry we quickly realised that the speed and security that people on all sides of transactions were crying out for just didn’t exist.

“What initially was such a different concept for estate agents to get their heads around has been embraced more than we could have hoped, and auction’s market share is still growing.

“Supporting our agent network, we’ve sold over £7.5 billion worth of property via auction in the last 15 years, and our sales last year made up 1 per cent of all UK property transactions which was a big goal for us.

“Auction’s growth and the results it gets for both agents and consumers was just the start.

“We’ve built a huge tech operation thanks to some of the best talent, and that paired with our wrap around service gives agents access to the right tools and support to succeed.

“Our ecosystem vision takes this another leap forward, with the ideas still coming as thick and fast as in the early days to change the moving process for the better.”
