I'm considering going into the field of real estate inspection and would like to know an estimate of there starting salary's for a r/e apprentice.
ninety 9.ninety 9% of all actual assets brokers artwork strictly on fee. there are some circumstances the place a broking provider would desire to hire an agent to handle assets administration the place they get a income, yet it extremely is amazingly uncommon. maximum brokers don't get a income. they're autonomous contractors. they do no longer sell = they do no longer consume.
It is hard to answer that, since most beginner real estate inspectors / appraisers are not able to find a paying apprenticeship, or what they find is really not worth the money. In the first year or so, you are doing it more for the experience. I have heard of pay as little as $8/hour. :( I would have to say this is also not the best time to get started, but if you have the time, take the course, learn it well, and start building relationships within the industry. That way when the market picks up, you will be ready to start. The best way to go is to establish relationships with independent realtors, and try to get them to refer clients to you. You will make much more money (once you are established) than you would if you worked for a company. In general, working for a company as a licensed inspector / appraiser, you would make $40K to $70K. When you are a free agent, your earnings can be close to $150K. My friend with 12 years of experience makes that much now, and he loves his job. Good luck!
