Are you thinking about changing your career? Why become a real estate agent and what benefits does this profession offer?
Who is a real estate agent
A fundamental change to the scope of this professional field was brought about by Act No. 39/2020 Coll., on real estate intermediation, effective from 2020. The activity of a real estate intermediary consists in the sale and rental of real estate. The broker creates, processes and variously treats/adjusts contracts.
In order to carry out this practice, he currently needs to officially operate a tied trade (instead of the original free trade) according to the new legislation. A more professional qualified education is required. If the applicant does not have the relevant training, it can be replaced by completing a one-subject course and passing a professional examination.
What are the advantages of working as a real estate agent
Is it worth completing the formalities? Does it make sense for you to change your career path and should you become a real estate agent?
Your strengths should include business acumen, empathy and reliability. You also need organisational talent and professionalism. Personal development is guaranteed in this field.
The advantage of working as a real estate agent is security. You are dealing in a commodity that simply never ceases to be in demand. Helping your clients find a new home also gives the profession a higher human purpose.
A real estate agent can count on a high degree of flexibility in the organization of his or her time. This is also linked to the level of earnings. Flexibility includes not only more free time, but sometimes less ability to say when you will have it. Some days will be full because client care is a priority during the day, and sometimes you will have so much time off that you might dream of in another job.
