  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Savills
  • Be yourself, it sounds so cliché but ultimately real estate is all about being personable. Everyone in the office is friendly, professional and has good banter so it just as important to fit the culture as well as in an academic discipline. Show and demonstrate your passion for the real estate industry and how this links in with your future.
