QUICK FINGERS + QUICKER WIT?
Write with us
Nosy by nature
We’re driven by curiosity – both in regards to fabulous writing and homes and properties. If you’re the kind of human who loves a stickybeak around a house for sale, who reads the listings and peruses the photos for fun, and then rewrites parts of the whole shebang in your head to make it better – we want to write with you.
Pedantic on purpose
We wrangle the written word like it’s hot taffy and we’ve a particularly delicious sweetie creation in mind. And although we’re in the business of writing conversational converting copy, we’re sticklers when it comes to spelling, format, and style. If you love the Oxford comma and can spot an error at 100 paces – we want to write with you.
IDEALISTIC ABOUT INCLUSIVITY
Although we can’t get it right all the time, you’re the kind of writer who screws up your nose every time you read the descriptor: ‘Master’ bedroom. There’s a lot of room to change copy for the better in real estate and if you’re up for questioning the traditional ways of the industry – we want to write with you.
you won’t do it alone
Fully supported role: Listing Writer
We’re seeking a quick-witted, thesaurus-using, fast-typing-fingered writer to join our pretty darn fantastic team.
You’ll love:
– writing about houses and properties, especially the quirky, individual, prestigious, drop-dead gorgeous, and all jazzed up with more bells and whistles than you can poke a stick at types
– being fully supported by an amazing copy editor who will always ensure your listing gets a total Crisping before it hits the clients’ inbox
– having access to a treasure trove of examples including a pre-prepped style guide so you can concentrate on the all-important story of the home, and not have to think about whether you should list bedrooms or living areas first
– increasing rate of pay after your first 6 listings and getting paid by the listing (not by the word or hour) plus a bonus for 24 hour turnaround (if required by the client)
– the total flexibility. One of our writers works between the hours of 8pm and midnight. If you’re juggling other commitments, as long as your listing hits our emails by 10am on the due date, we don’t mind when you complete the work
But you’ll have to be able to:
– work autonomously (mainly, our head writer will usually be at the end of an email if you get stuck)
– have an ABN and your own insurance and be happy to work as a sub-contractor
– be fairly flexible about work. Some weeks we’ll write upwards of 20 listings in 5 days, other weeks a little less. Currently, the WA property market is booming so there’s plenty of work – which is why we need you!
– write to a deadline and make similar listings sound ragingly individual and unavoidably buyable
