A career in real estate is not for everyone, but if you have what
it takes it can reward you like few other careers can. Real estate
is a business where rewards come in direct proportion to effort. Great
sales associates are confident and project to others that they have
the skills necessary to get the job done. Realtors are communicators
who listen as well as they speak. A career in real estate requires
the ability to overcome resistance and maintain a positive attitude.
It is not a nine-to-five job. Being a Realtor means setting your own
schedule and being your own boss, but success is also tied to being
a team player and making the most of professional relationships. At
the end of the day, a successful Realtor knows that meeting customer
needs is the only route to success.
The time and expense involved in becoming a Realtor varies from
province to province, but the basic steps are the same:
Complete the required courses offered by the provincial real
estate association or council;
Write an exam based on the courses' content (fee);
Submit an application to the provincial licensing body along
with successful exam results (fee);
Applicants must be sponsored by a licensed real estate Broker.
This is essentially an offer of employment;
Some provinces also have mandatory continuing education criteria
that must be met on an ongoing basis in order to maintain your
license.
