Question:

Becoming a real estate agent (Miami, FL)?

How difficult is it to find a job in real estate once I become certified?I am new to this so all the information would help. I know this probably wont be looked at when looking for work in real estate but for what its worth...I am a military vet, 4 yrs supervisory experience, BS in CJ, and enrolled to start my MBA in January. Like I said, any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Answer:

Just pass the state exam to become an agent.
Go surfing and search for real estate schools in Orlando. Additionally, seem in the telephone book underneath real property schools. Which you could also name or go to actual property dealer workplaces and ask if they can suggest the nice actual property university.
there is no JOB normally in RE, unless you mean office clerk/manager. or project development . Why on earth you have a CJ BS degree and are going to the MBA makes no sense. anyway. you will have to take the equiv of a BS in marketing before you Begin the master's real classes. I will guide you and maybe joint venture with you on some projects. email me if you like
Often in real estate depressions like the current period going back to the beginning of the Near Depression in Dec, '07, it's not hard to get hired, the hard part is getting the sales n listings that make the commish. One of the best ways around that prob is to know many financing options. In the RE depression of the early 1980's where interest rates were abt 17%, the mort cos got creative w/ graduated payment morts, adjustable rates, balloons, etc. One of the best was the combo of grad payment, adj rate. Some Realtors that mastered creative financing then did well, one reason being there was little competition from those offering conventional 30 yr fixed financing @ 17%. Know financing, know the local market, and most of all, listen to your customers [and everyone else in the biz who knows what they'r talking abt], but esp, your customers. ===== It's likely not hard to get hired, bc most realtors are independent contractors. The company usually pays them nothing and their sole income is from commish.
