In the competitive world of luxury real estate, most agents focus exclusively on buyers. But at Drumelia, we understand that exceptional service to home owners creates unique opportunities that can transform your career.

My name is Kevan Martial. I joined Drumelia as a Listing Agent in autumn 2023, and recently became responsible for our in-house Listings Department, leading the team of 3 great professionals. Let's discuss why the position of a Listing Agent is more than just a job—it's a pathway to professional and personal growth.

As I first entered real estate, like many others, I thought of a real estate agent working with buyers. But when I realized you could specialize in helping property owners, I saw the industry differently.

When you help an owner sell their property, you're not just facilitating a transaction—you're building trust with a person that could require your help in the future if they decide to invest in a different home. These meaningful connections naturally flow into future collaborations as you guide people through important life changes. This approach creates a network of relationships that enriches your career in ways that go far beyond any single sale.

Contrary to my initial expectations, I found the role wasn't just about answering requests under the umbrella of a prestigious brand. What surprised me was the amount of creativity required to generate contacts and connect with owners. At the end of the day, people deal with people.

The position balances structure with excitement: you have organizational tasks that provide consistency, but it's also incredibly dynamic. You never know what properties you'll see next week or who you'll meet. In Marbella, one connection can completely change your future.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of being a Listing Agent is the control over your professional destiny. Having an opportunity to work with both buyers and sellers, you can generate significantly higher sales volume than agents who focus on just one side of the process.

If you value relationship-building, self-development, freedom over your schedule, and want a position with no income ceiling, becoming a Listing Agent could be perfect for you.

What makes Drumelia the ideal environment for this career path? We're a company committed to growth, dedicated to empowering our team, and connecting professionals across different specialties under one roof. In Drumelia, we provide comprehensive support to help you reach a high sales volume, access to cutting-edge tools, innovative CRMs, new processes, speed and quality in creating marketing materials for properties, and much more.
