I am in college and looking for a better paying job... I really love real estate and want to take classes in it on the side this summer and maybe try to get my lisence but I was just wondering what jobs I could try to get as an entry level position? I dont have any experience in this area but I do learn fast and work hard and have good availability. Also, whats the best way to try to get a job with an office? Should I just call around to different companies? Thanks so much!
maybe a job in a foreclosure office, hey its real estate,probably most active part of market now anyway.
You must be realistic, and acknowledge that real estate is in turmoil. Selling real estate as property values go down, means that many, many people are up-side down. This means those people selling homes must pay funds out-of-pocket (take a loss) in order to sell their homes (sales without profit). Although there are many homes for sale, the costs of selling (including agent commissions) will be cut in order to economize and accommodate the up-side down seller. Additionally, after the real estate boom over the last 7 years, there are already too many real estate agents fighting over reduced commissions in this economic down-turn. However, there is a booming mortgage foreclosure market. If you could get employment as a paralegal with a law firm that does foreclosures, you would really make some money. Any business associated with mortgage foreclosures and debt collection will offer employment security in this unusually difficult economy. Just an opinion ... so good luck to you! d:o)
Real estate is in a down market right now. It may not be a good time for entry level help (unless you live in a market that is not affected overall). Some of the jobs are: receptionists, listing coordinators (help input the listings in the local mls), marketing coordinator (know powerpoint/publisher/adobe to assist agents in creating marketing flyers) with a talent of graphic design, office assistant to an agent - putting out signs, replacing flyers in the house, doing word processing and database management. Good luck.
