Residential Real Estate Agent

Job Description

A Residential Real Estate Agent is a real estate agent who helps guide customers through the intricacies of the home sale and purchase process. When it comes to real estate transactions, home sellers and buyers have a lot of questions, so they will be looking to you for guidance. You will be a front line player in our company, networking and communicating with hundreds of individuals to facilitate housing transactions within your community.

Due to the autonomous nature of the career field, an opportunistic and proactive attitude is needed to be successful as a Residential Real Estate Agent. A real estate career is best suited to driven, independent, and achievement focused individuals.

Real Estate Professionals earn money for each transaction they complete. As you make more transactions, you earn more income. After a few years of disciplined work, it's not unusual for a Real Estate Agent to be earning $50000 - $100000 / year or more. The more work you put into establishing a client base, the more money you will earn.

Job Responsibilities

• Help clients price their property well and make it marketable.
• Network with other real estate professionals to increase awareness of properties and close transactions.
• Research your real estate market and understand the trends of home values in your area.
• Consult with clients and answer their questions and concerns before, during and after a real estate transaction.
• Mediate communications and negotiations between the home seller and purchaser.
• Actively devise marketing strategies to ensure a prompt home sale.
