Today, it is trendy to work in real estate. People believe that it is an "easy" source of money and that it is very easy to sell this type of goods. But, beyond meeting an economic goal or a commission bonus, the world of sales is so wide that not everyone can be a real estate agent.

What does it take to be a real estate agent?

We give you the four basics points to start working in the real estate field.

To be an agent dedicated to real estate, first of all, you need COMMITMENT. Commitment to the work itself, commitment to the real estate company, commitment to the buyer client and the seller client, as well as to the tenant and landlord clients. This implies, being punctual in their working hours or shifts in the office; be punctual in appointments with your clients, be punctual in appointments to show some properties.

Whether you work as an independent agent or belong to a recognized real estate agency, it is important not to close yourself off from new opportunities. TEAM WORK is essential when it comes to sales. Perhaps, as a real estate agent, you can have a buyer client, but not have the property. Or, on the contrary, you can have a very good property and not a buyer. In these cases, it is essential that you seek support from other advisors or other real estate agencies in order to have a successful sale. In case of not having a suitable property for the client, look for some opportunities with other advisors to make a deal; and of course, help other advisers so that their client can have an option to buy.

It is also important to keep an AGENDA for better ORGANIZATION. This will allow you to schedule appointments to provide general information to clients, appointments at government offices, plan office working hours, visits to new subdivisions and visits to properties to show potential buyers.

In addition to everything said above, you must have an efficient MOBILE PHONE, to be in contact with clients as many times as necessary, solve their doubts, search for/request information and make appointments. As well as a COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, preferably portable, to create listings, upload photos, save files with documents of the properties, and modify property sheets.
