I've always liked real estate as a career, but I dont want to become an agent(Dont like that its not a fixed income)Does anybody know any other careers in real estate? And if so, what would I have to major in for college?
I became a real estate agent 3 months ago in Canada, British Columbia. United states is on the Decline. I have been doing well finally after 3 months. Made a 3 million dollar commercial sale, but my first sale was a mobile home for 100 000$. A crappy mobile home for 100 000$ do the math and relocate my friend. Things are so hot up here its amazing. Vancouver, Okanagan, Island. Leave the states and start business up here. Im only 19 and even I can make a living at it. More than a decent one.
1. Lie 2. Cheat 3. Steal Congratulations...you're in real estate.
home inspectors, home appraisals, real estate agents, home housekeeping staff to get a home ready for show. business agents, an assortment of tax, estate laws to learn
I am currently starting as a wholesale account executive. It is a great job. Do a google search for it and you can read some descriptions Getting it is a catch 22 though, you have to know what you are doing to be hired, but you can't learn unless you are working the job. If your interested in any real estate position, I would recommend getting experience while you are in college. It seems in this industry work experience > college. I have my BA btw.
You can be a real estate analyst in which you study property trends and work for an economic research firm like cb Ellis. You can also think about real estate lawyer, who can work on the residential side and do closing or on the commercial side and work with builder and developer. Most people who study real estate finance, econ, or business administration in college take the above route. Sexy sounding jobs include being a property scout for major companies - finding locations for future Gap stores etc or working with developers to lease space out to companies. A lot of options.
