General Information about a Career in Real Estate Sales

  • The Real Estate Industry is a licenced industry under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008
  • If you aren’t exempt from further study, then you must complete the required study with a registered provider BEFORE commencing your Sales career
  • Once qualified (and to work in the industry) you need to be licenced with the REA
  • Unless stated, in most cases
    • You need to commit to the cost and time of the study
    • You will be engaged on a Self Employed & Commission Only basis
    • You only will get paid once a house is sold
    • You are normally responsible for generating your own sales leads, so it does help if you have an established network.
  • Real Estate Sales does require a full time (but flexible) commitment
  • There are very few options to “learn on the job” without having your Real Estate Licence
  • Most companies prefer you to live in the area you are working in
