What a real estate agent does
- Finds owners who want to sell or rent out a property and signs agreements with them.
- Takes photos, writes descriptions and advertises the property.
- Selects options for buyers and runs viewings.
- Negotiates the price.
- Checks documents together with a lawyer and supports the deal through to the notary.
Skills you need
- Good communication and the ability to listen to clients.
- Self-organization: agents plan their own day.
- Knowledge of the city and its districts. This can be learned.
- Basic legal literacy in property deals. This is taught too.
- Resilience: deals fall through, and that is normal.
Sales experience helps but is not required.
How income works
An agent's main income is a share of the commission on closed deals, so it depends directly on the number and size of deals. The first months go into training and building a client base, so it helps to have savings for the start.
What an agency gives you compared with working alone: a flow of clients, a property database, legal support, training and a trusted brand.
