Considering a Career in Real Estate?

If you’ve ever thought about starting a career in real estate, now may be a good time to explore the possibilities. There are many attractive advantages, including the potential for unlimited earnings. As an independent sales associate, you would also be free to work your own hours, balancing the needs of your life and family in a flexible schedule. You would also have access to the exceptional education, resources and assistance available at Coldwell Banker®.

So, if the advantages sound good, you’ll want to find out whether you have what it takes to become a successful independent sales associate. Previous work experience in sales helps, but teachers, retail managers, customer service reps, tech-savvy recent graduates and even stay-at-home moms make great sales associates too. Why? Because they communicate well with all types of people, understand serving the needs of others and have strong negotiating skills. If you have the basic characteristics, you can learn the rest. Take a free assessment quiz on JoinCBToday.com  and find out immediately whether you have an aptitude for real estate sales.

Have you heard Florida is becoming a hot real estate market again? After five challenging years of pent-up inventory, foreclosures are down and homes that are priced correctly are now selling quickly, often with multiple offers. You could be in the heart of this activity with a real estate license! If you are passionate, determined and self-motivated, it may be the right time to put yourself in control of your earnings. Since real estate is performance-based, you would earn a commission on every buying or selling transaction you close. If you want to make more money, you will reward your own efforts by selling more properties or advancing into more expensive luxury homes.
