Which national real estate broker do you think is the best real estate company to work for?
I’m curious to hear from real estate agents and brokers on reasons why you like your real estate brokerage company. Why do you think your broker is the best real estate company to work for? Are there any things you would change about your broker if you could? Are you happy with the fees you are charged and your commission splits? I’m wondering what broker offers the highest commission splits for agents with the lowest fees with the most amount of training, support, and resources.
Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
There are several factors to consider before selecting a real estate agent or broker like one must be well-aware of real estate market, must have a significant experience in real estate, must be a good forecaster and most importantly a real estate must be reliable and sincere with his customers.
Daniel asks…
How do I get in the commercial real estate industry?
I am 22 years old and looking to get in the commercial real estate industry, preferably the leasing aspect. What would be fundamentally required for a person as young as me to be even considered for a job in a large commercial real estate firm? Considering I have a real estate agents license, what else would be needed or would interest a company in hiring someone so young? In other words, how can I get my foot in such an industry, thus giving me a chance to work my way up?
Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
You did not volunteer where you are but
I am betting 95% of the commercial offices
in any city will welcome you.
Make sure you are studying business and
esp commercial real estate during your spare
time.
If you are in AZ, I will hire you immediately.
Remember, there is a HUGE difference
between working for a “company” as an
employee and a real estate office
where you are a 100% commissioned
agent.
Ruth asks…
What should I do to become a real estate developer or investor?
Im a senior in high school and plan on going to a community college for 2 yrs.and then 2yrs. at a university and major in bussiness administraion. I think while Im doing that I should intern for a big real estate place like Remax or something because I would like to learn the different areas of real estate like being an agent or flipping houses.I don’t know if I should go to Real Estate school after college or what.Any suggestions on what I should do?
Philadelphia Real Estate answers:
I recently graduated college and I am employed as a commercial real estate appraiser. It is pretty funny; I went to a community college for my Associates and went 2 more years to a university for business as well. I think working in any aspect of real estate is good especially for you and your age. I think working for a brokerage is good because money is not a big object yet and you can work part-time as you go to school. Also, you will get a feel of the business and you will see the different avenues it can take you such as sales, financing, construction, appraisal, commercial/residential investing etc. As an agent you will be exposed to different dimensions of the business. My suggestion is to find yourself while you are in community college and then make a decision in to what major you will be in before entering a university. Good Luck!
