What Does a Real Estate Agent Do?
As a real estate agent, you will be in charge of showing people properties while playing liaison between the seller and potential buyers. Agents can work for a broker agent or firm where they will receive their referrals and with whom they will share the commission of a sale. After gaining experience in the industry, some agents can choose to become real estate sales brokers where they can then start their own company.
Benefits of Becoming a Real Estate Agent:
- Unlimited earning potential
- Be your own boss
- Set your own schedule
Requirements to Becoming a Real Estate Agent
Requirements vary by state but generally you need to be at least 18 years old, complete the required pre-licensing education, pass the state exam and a background check.
If you are looking to get a license in a state you currently do not live in, you will be able to take the state exam but will need to undergo a more intensive license application process. Some states do require you to be a resident of that state in order to obtain a license, so be sure to check with the appropriate state regulatory agency for their particular requirements.
Prior to issuance, all states conduct a background check on license applicants. Standards may vary; check with the appropriate state regulatory agency for details and particular requirements.
How to Become a Real Estate Agent
Each state has its own requirements when it comes to obtaining a real estate license. However, they all do require a certain amount of state approved real estate education, possibly even college credits. And that’s where it all begins, with education. You will want to contact your state regulatory department before you do anything and find out the exact education requirements. The next step will be to find an accredited school, university or technical school. State education hours can range anywhere from 60 hours in Virgina to 180 hours in Texas. Once you have completed your education requirements, you will then need to pass a state exam.
How Much do Real Estate Agents Make?
There really is no set figure to what a real estate agent can make. Many factors come into play with real estate agents’ salaries and are usually affected by location, the housing market and competition. Generally speaking, the bigger the city you work in, the more opportunity there is to sell homes. And yes, the more homes there are to sell, the more real estate agents there will be in the area. Just as in a smaller town, there will be fewer homes on the market and less competition to deal with. It comes down to wherever the agent is comfortable selling, is most likely the best place for them to sell.
As for salary acquired, real estate agents work on a commission basis. The average commission for a real estate agent is around 6 percent, which is divided up between the sellers’ agent (the person the people selling the home work with) and the buyer’s agent (the person working with people interested in buying the home). And the higher the cost of the home, the higher the commission. So real estate agents who only deal with high-end homes tend to earn more than agents working in areas that are on the decline.
On a national average, the salary for real estate agents and salespeople ranged over $18.82 an hour in 2012 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics – With the highest 10 percent of agents pulling in more than $45 an hour.
