I'm 16 and thinking about what I want to be when I grow up. I'm not really smart or talented with anything in particular but I've always been really passionate about the way houses look on the outside and inside. Lol will this get me anywhere?WHAT EXACTLY DOES A REAL ESTATE AGENT DO? Explain for a silly 16 year old please? :)
i agree with one of the experts here; an interior designer requires no state school or tests......... and fyi, you can be both!!!
I have been in home sales since 1978. I bet you will do better in home design or such. Real Estate is mostly about negotiating. Price, repairs, closing costs, closing dates, etc. A study in how people think would be much more useful than how a house looks in real estate sales.
agents work in the selling industry of houses. They make a house look attractive with the help of interior and exterior designers to sell a house. I'd recommend going into interior design for you though, that deals a lot more with the physical appearance of a house.
A truly property agent is a individual who is helping men and women both promote their estate or acquire estate. The estate typically is a condo, however it additionally perhaps one other variety of constitution or empty land. An agent have got to understand the marketplace significance of houses, be in a position to examine constructive and bad points of houses, know the way to put it up for sale and know the way to barter a sale. He or she additionally mainly works with monetary associations to aid men and women get the loans they ought to be in a position to shop for houses. The agent by and large works on fee and can earn a small percent of each and every sale that she or he is helping entire.
A real estate agent works on behalf of either the buyer or seller of a house. For a buyer the agent will: -find the buyer several listings that matches their needs/desires for a new house (i.e. 3 bedroom in good school district. -Help the buyer determine what is a fair price to pay for a house and negotiate. - Arrange a home inspection to verify nothing is structurally wrong with the house. -Complete a mountain of paperwork For the seller they: -Recommend the best asking price, balancing best price for the seller, and ability to sell the house in current market conditions. -Show their home to perspective buyers -Recommend improvements to the house to help it sell for the best price (this is where your skills come in). -More paperwork A good real estate agent who has an eye for aesthetics will be more successful in their career. You would understand what aspects of the home might be keeping it from being sold and recommending improvements. While interior design fits your skills and passions well, the potential for high earnings is lower and suffer from a very competitive market.
