How do I become a Realestate agent?
December 12009
I am considering becoming a Realestate agent in Australia and was wondering if you have any tips or ideas? I enjoy selling and have always liked looking at houses but Im not sure practically what its like to sell houses. Is it mainly dealing with paperwork, people skills etc?
Firstly, normally the paperwork’s not too bad – most real estate agencys have reception staff and assistant who process most of thing things like contracts etc for you. Definitely people skills and sales skills, though the latter can be learned. You need to be able to get on with people easily and quickly, this helps a lot. It also really helps to have good knowledge of the local area, but again this can be learned with a bit of time and effort.
To become a registered real estate salesperson you need to complete a course to learn about real estate and property. To find out more about this contact your local real estate institute in your state, eg; for QLD it’s REIQ (www.reiq.com.au).
Some agents however encourage new starters to real estate and will support you through the course which can be a really good way to start as you then have a job to go to upon completion – call around a few agents and see if anyone is interested in working with you.
Good luck!
