Neville Dautremont: No. I've been in RE for a long time and know nobody who has one.
Tosha Tawney: It honestly doesn't matter if you have a degree or not. I've met plenty of agents who didn't graduate from high school, others with Bachelors, others with Masters and a few with PhDs. Most clients don't care about your degree even if it's in real estate because it generally has NOTHING to do with the business.The study of real estate is not the same as being in real estate. Real estate is about experience, tact, negotiations, rapport etc - all of which can't be taught in a classroom (you either have it or you don't).I'm glad you found your "dream career" but I'm going to just point some things out so you can decide with more information in hand. How much money do you have? You should have about $10,000 (MINIMUM) saved up before you start in the business. Most agents don't make their first sale for about 6 months (assuming it closes because if it doesn't, you make $0!)! . You'll have licensing fees, brokerage fees, E&O (Errors and Omissions) insurance, cell phone bills, gas, car insurance, car payments, advertising fee, branding fee (if you choose to get a customized logo, etc) or design fee, etc. You are NOT salaried, so you either have money saved up before you join the industry or you are living off lines of credit and credit cards. If you intend on getting a job on the side that is part time or full time and doing real estate "for fun", then please note that most clients won't bother working with you (except maybe family and friends). The reason being all clients want you to be accessible and at THEIR convenience. No one wants to hear "sorry I'm at work so I can't see you until I get off around 5pm". Don't get me wrong: real estate is VERY rewarding IF you have deals coming in. Just because you enjoy something or it's super fun and you're good at it doesn't mean people care. There are tons of sleazy, lazy realtors who make lots of mone! y and tons of good, ethical, honest agents who make little to ! nothing. The game is what it is. If you're up for it, join us!...Show more
Stanton Valdivia: You are correct you do not must go to college to grow to be a realtor it is all about knowing the principles and laws of purchasing and selling a apartment and getting connections on your purchaser and/or seller. If you have not watched the information not too long ago, you could possibly recognize that the house market has been preety bad due to the fact the recession. It can be gotten a bit higher however not many are stimulated to buy houses.
Julieta Suleiman: yeah, that sounds like a good profession. but that's the kind of work where you're initiating a lot of contact, so you can't be intimidated by people and you have to be outgoing and not easily discouraged.
Luke Gacusan: RE and finance with a cross major in design, PERHAPS.
