How does one get job/career in real estate?
Q. How does one get a job or how does one start a career in real estate? A friend of mine who lives on the East Coast is interested in finding a job in the real estate field and is considering trying to begin a career in this field. He has started to read up on the business and has started to study how it works. What are some tips that he can follow to achieve either of these goals?
A. There are a number of ways. One of the most common is to attend a real estate career night at a local real estate office. Many reat estate companies that are trying to expand offer these sessions once or twice a month. A second way is simply walk into a real estate office where you think you might want to work, and ask if they are hiring. In some areas, to get a license, you have to be sponsored. The trick is to find a sponsor. You can also go the non-licnesed route. This would be doing non-sales work for a large realtor, or doing investing and fix-up work that does not involve selling over the minimum number of units a year that is required to be licensed. The very basic way of doing this is to buy one of the scam real estate courses, and ignore the zero down parts. Buy this at a used book store or E-bay and don't pay retail. Another route is to work for a builder as a "builder's agent". This is where you sell new homes in a new development, and your job is to fit homes to the customers. Finally, there are real estate schools out there. Many of them have a study at home program. Local tech schools might also have real estate courses. Check with your local board of realtors for more information. Your area might also have an association of landlords, which might also have some good information.
