A Career in Real Estate: Is it Complicated?
July 9, 2008 4:21 pm UncategorizedI’ve heard a lot about making money, a lot of money, by selling real estate. Rumor has it that a fellow Ragnarok Online player made a fortune selling real estate and got rich enough to afford a gender change! Now, my post as to who that player is will follow soon enough, but for now I’ll focus on what kind of career is in store for those looking to make a living by selling land and property.
You have probably heard about the Nouveau Riche Scam article on overpriced tuition fees; or the Nouveau Riche Scam article that talks about real estate scams and real opportunities. These articles point to one thing and it is: the real way to become a shrewd real estate agent.
Come to think of it, there’s no exact college course that teaches about real estate. At most, it is a side course in a marketing major’s curriculum or a case study in a business administration major’s fabulous investment thesis. Here are some tips that I have thought up to aid those who are looking into this potentially lucrative career:
1. Be sociable - you own your time and you spend it on socialization with people who might be looking into investing a part of their hard earned cash into something that doesn’t rot overnight, loses value over time or run away with the caterer.
2. Be eager to help - Investors need all the information they could find about a property. Sincere effort and understanding on a real estate agent’s part will make him or her a valuable resource to these people. And,
3. Be confident of your abilities to make the best presentation. If you can’t close ASAP, at least you made sure that your presentation made a sufficient impact for the prospects to make another inquiry.
