New Real Estate Agent Tips

[Caleb OConnor]

Howdy guys! I just got my real estate license here in Texas, and I’m about to start interviewing with brokers… What aspects about a real estate agent are brokers looking for and will set me apart from the rest?… Also, I’m about to apply for a different job because I need a more steady/higher income, but I’m worried that the Brokers will think I need to be %1000 committed to real estate (which I am no doubt, been listening to BP for a year now and I’m obsessed with real estate). 

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I’m looking forward to any input! Have a blessed day.

In addition to meeting licensing requirements and having a comprehensive understanding of pertinent real estate laws, real estate agents have a long list of responsibilities. These agents typically do the following:

• Advise clients on mortgages, market conditions, and pricing
• Advise sellers on how they can make their homes more attractive to buyers
• Compare properties to determine fair and competitive market prices
• Generate lists of appropriate properties for buyers based on their price range and needs
• Guide buyers and sellers through the transaction
• Manage lists of contacts
• Mediate negotiations between buyers and sellers
• Prepare and submit all required paperwork, including various contracts
• Present all purchase offers to sellers for consideration
• Promote properties through advertising, listing services (such as MLS), and open houses
• Show properties to prospective buyers
• Solicit potential clients to buy, sell, and rent properties
• Stay current with real estate laws and trends
• Work nights and weekends to accommodate clients' needs

All the best
