Question:

Info on Real Estate Jobs?

Okay, so I'm a little weird but I LOVE spending free time browsing redfin . And I'm not even in the market for a home! Real estate just fascinates me BIG time. I'm a stay at home mom but when my young ones get into school full time, I'd love to find a job in real estate. With that said, I'm not a huge people person so dealing directly with buyers/sellers doesn't interest me. I'd like to do something a little more behind the scenes, on the technical side. Not really sure if there's a profession for that. Obviously i don't want to just do data entry (I have an unrelated Master's degree) so is there something that is very real estate oriented that doesn't involve talking to people on the phone all day and meeting up with people for showings?

Answer:

you can always get certified as an appraiser...gets you out to houses, do a little research, type up reports, and your personal interaction is minimal.
So in other words you just want to live out your dream but not do any work related to the real estate industry. Yeah no there aren't any jobs that fit your description. I would have said real estate assistant but that requires answering the phone, dropping off and picking up keys, dealing with the website, contracts (IF licensed), etc. But no one will hire an assistant who won't answer phones and do data entry. You made it clear you don't want to be a real estate agent either. You can't work as a conveyancer because you don't want to do data entry and answer phones. Really, it's a fun idea but since you're unwilling to do anything related to the industry (our business is 80% dealing with people, even as assistants, conveyancers, etc), it kind of means you can't get any jobs in it.
