Hi Graham, Wow doesn't time fly and I just wanted to say "Thank You" once again on helping me and coaching me to become a successful Estate Agent even though I had no previous property or sales expereince.. If anyone is watching this RU-vid Video and is seriously considering a career in Estate Agency, Graham Martin The Recruitment Guy is the careers and job expert on this competitive field.
not sure if you mean me personally or as an estate agent? For me...more than l need and less than l want! Estate agents earn, on average about 18k as a trainee inc. commission, senior negs between 25k and 35k, managers 30k to 80k and owners from 35k to 350k...give or take...
TheRecruitmentGuy - hello, I am very ambitious about wanting to work for an estate agency. Would be so appreciated if you could advise and help me to get into the right path. Thank you. Kind regards Sim
It is never too late to be right.Just start right where you are and right now sir.Some tips for you again...............An estate agent is a licensed person to negotiate and manage estate sales. He or she works for an estate broker. Negotiating and arranging can include showing of property, listing of property, filling in contract, listing agreement, and purchase contract. Estate agents are generally licensed to work under the control of estate brokers. Hiring a professional for buying or selling your property can be very beneficial for you as he has the required knowledge and experience. Helping clients with contracts, inspections, closing processes and negotiations are a big part of their job. Continuous education to keep updates with the market and laws is a great part of life of an estate agent. The only trick for a successful purchase of a new property or selling of an old one, is finding the right estate agent. Responsibilities of an Estate Agent A good agent keeps up always with market activities: Most estate agents start a day by finding out the earlier day's market activities. This usually is on an online or downloaded "hot sheet" report. This tells them new listings, what sold, price changes and other activities in their markets. Agents are Buffers Estate agents take the whole spam out of the property showings and visit. If you're the buyer of new home, your agent can whip out his sword and keep builder's agent at bay, avoiding them from nipping or biting at your heels. And if you are a seller, then your agent will sort all the phone calls that result in nowhere and try to encourage serious buyers to write an offer immediately. There usually are some closing transaction things to take proper care of: If doing deals of estates, there are many action items, deliveries and deadlines involved. An agent spends time every day in getting the paperwork to right places, explaining contracts to clients, reviewing documents and coordinating inspections, etc. Working with buyer clients and prospects: Working with buyer customers isn't simply driving them around to look at homes or properties. There's a big deal of preparation, which is involved in finding suitable properties, determining their needs, and gathering the information to assist your buyer customers to make decision. Getting, servicing and keeping listings: Listings always have been the butter and bread of the estate business. To cater sellers an estate agent should possess outstanding marketing skills, market knowledge, negotiation ability and etc. Document Preparation Preparing the legal documents like sales contracts and listing is done by agents. However, broker is liable for that and should review the documents. Handling Volume of Paperwork A one-page deposit receipt was prevalent in the 1970s. Today's the purchase agreement runs into 10 pages or even more. That includes neither the state- and federal- mandated disclosures nor the disclosures dictated by the local custom. Most of the estate files have an average thickness of one to three inchs of paper. One omission or small mistake could cost you thousands or land you in the court. Generally, your estate agent will handle this to make it simple for you. To Success! Oyewole O.Thomas millionairescastle.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-to-become-responsible-real-estate.html
I got a job with Your Move once and that fell through then I got a job with Frank Innes and that fell through too. They changed their minds after they hired me. I really wanted to do the job and I am still not an estate agent.
Hi Graham, I am 18 and looking into getting an estate agency job in London. I wrote a cv and a cover letter. Should I give my cv in at the same time as the cover letter? Thanks, James
Sir I am totally new in to it as I have carried the experience which is not relating to the real estate experience but they call me for interview of real estate broker I have some idea about it like buying or selling but real estate broker act as a Brooker or a intermediate in between of both parties
Hi Graham, i'm not sure if i'm meant E-mail you or you will reply to this comment but a bit of a personal question, how much do you earn on average a year?
I can’t understand these people , almost in every job every employer looks for “something special” so how we suppose to show people ourselves if nobody give us chance , I can’t thing about that so stupid mind ... everybody should give a chance
bloody 'ell. Sounds like a Millwall calling card for a Bulldog wanting to hire a football hooligan. As a boss, if ANYONE came into my office with this Braggadocio advise, I'd tell 'em where to go. talk about re-enforcing the estate agent 'Wide-Boy' image. If they're this brash and upfront, how do you expect them to be to my clients ?
You know what? You are RIGHT but it's so non PC to think this, never mind actually write it down. I had a young lady (18) who came in to see me last week. She was looking for office work. I asked her to calculate 10% of 600! She had NO idea. I was nice & explained that basic mental maths was an essential skill for life. And then she yelled at me that I was prejudiced.......! Amazing
Hi jtopcatz, We're not measuring intelligence as that would require more tests such as general knowledge, vocabulary, recognising similarities, memory, mazes, simple arithmetic problems and object assembly, etc,. BTW, did you mean - ignorant things I read or, ignorant things I've read? It's just an observation.
Luxus I realize that are a number of ways to define intelligence. My interpretation of your first post is as itI realize there are a number of ways to define intelligence. My interpretation of your initial reply is as it reads, "people who need to use spell check are not intelligent". Admittedly the reason this caught my attention is that I do use spell check more often then ever. I am lacking in reading and writing resulting in not being able to remember how spell words that I once knew how to spell. Use it or lose it. I don't believe my level of intelligence as I understand it, has decreased. And yes, I did mean I've read.
