Excellent Job
Opportunities,
The field
of real estate involves the
sale, management and analysis of land and properties. This is one of the
largest parts of the economy and offers excellent job opportunities.
Tough to Break
In, It's
relatively hard to
break into investment banking. You need to be prepared to pursue firms on
your own after you have thoroughly prepared yourself.
The Field
is Highly
Entrepreneurial,
Real
estate jobs tend to be more
entrepreneurial and create opportunities to become wealthy if you have the
right mix of analytical skills and entrepreneurial drive.
There are Many
Ways to Play the Field,
One of the
exciting things about real
estate is that it can be approached from so many different ways. You can be
a white-collar worker projecting and analyzing cash flows from new
developments with spreadsheets; an agent in the field with heavy contact
with customers on a day to day basis; or an entrepreneurial property
owner/manager looking for undervalued real estate buys and strategies for
creating value.
Multiple Entry
Points Available,
There are
a variety of ways to break
into real estate. If you are interested in the sales
side
you need to get licensed and should go to work for a commercial or
residential broker. If you would like to get involved in property
acquisition and analysis you should get a higher degree with a
specialization in real estate and go to work for a major property management
company. There are also many other ways to enter including through corporate
site selection departments, governmental entities and banks.
Job
Descriptions
Residential Real Estate Agent/Broker,
Real
estate agents and brokers
are usually independent sales professionals who contract their services to
real estate brokers in exchanges for a commission-sharing agreement
(normally six percent). There are over 400,000 real estate brokers and
agents in the
United
States. To become a broker
you must be at least 18 years old, a high school graduate and have passed a
written test on property laws and real estate transactions. Most states also
require 30-90 hours of classroom training. You can visit the National
Association of Realtor's web page at
http://www.realtor.com/ to find out
more about this career area.
Commercial
Real Estate Sales,
Commercial
property brokerage offices
use sales associates who market office buildings, hotels and many other
types of commercial real estate for brokers. Commercial real estate sales
people usually specialize in a particular property type such as apartments,
retail, office, hospitality, shopping centers and industrial plants. Most of
the large commercial brokerage companies in the United States provide a
great deal of local market data and research in order to be able to service
a cadre of sophisticated clients who are making multi-million dollar
investment decisions. Several trade organizations represent the various
commercial real estate subspecialties including the
American Industrial Real
Estate Association,
the Hotel and Motel
Brokers of America,
the
National Association of
Industrial and Office
Properties,
the Real Estate Exchange-a forum for
women in commercial real estate, the
International Council of Shopping Centers,
and the
Society of Industrial and Office Realtors.
Additionally, the Commercial Investment Real Estate Institute (CIREI),
through its education program, has been conferring the
Certified Commercial Investment Member
(CCIM) designation since 1969.
Development and Construction,
Are you
willing to work hard and
take risks to develop new properties? Then a career in real estate
development may be for you. You can enter this business working for another
developer, moving up to construction manager, or you can strike out on your
own, starting with some smaller transactions. Good developers are
results-oriented and know how to get work on time which involves managing
labor, establishing time estimates, getting appropriate equipment operators
and construction crews.
Real Estate
Entrepreneur,
Real
estate is one of the last
bastions of the free-enterprising entrepreneur who buys properties in hope
that they will rise in value because of improvement in market conditions or
renovations. Since WWII some of the wealthiest persons in the world have
been real estate entrepreneurs. To make it in this career you need to be
savvy, hard-working, willing to take risks and fortunate. Remember, there
are others who would also like to become wealthy in real estate who will be
bidding on the same deals and properties that you will. It is important,
then, to think carefully of how you can succeed in this market through
better wits, a superior management approach or a unique niche strategy.
Salaries
Pay
in real estate
depends greatly on what you do. Some of the wealthiest people in the world
have made it in eal estate. But, for most of us, salaries are lower. In 1992
the median salary of property and real estate managers was $21,800 a year.
However, many made more than $50,000 a year. This is a business where you
can make good money with hard work and a little luck. Your responsibility
matters too. For example, the median salary of property managers responsible
for shopping malls is close to $80,000 and the median salary of those who
manage office buildings was $95,000. Salaries in real estate sales are very
difficult to characterize. It is said that one in thirteen Californians has
a real estate sales license; but most do not make any money in a given year.
That said, full-time, hard working sales people in real estate can make
$70,000 a year after being in business long enough to build up a client
base.
