Real Estate Professionals

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Real Living GreatWest

The California state has a very active real estate industry. The real estate industry here, deals with commercial and residential types of property such as single homes, condos and apartments. There are many buyers and sellers who want to market their property at the best deals. To acquire the best deals on property, every investor will look for a real estate professional to ease out their task. A real estate professional can either be a real estate agent, realtor, mortgage broker or a mortgage lender.

A real estate professional is an agent when he buys or sells property on behalf of his client. His task is to look out for homes, negotiate the deals and prepare a contract on behalf of the seller or the buyer. A realtor will work with clients from the start to chalk out their needs and identify the best deals suitable to them. They work with the client from choosing a property till finalizing all the paperwork. A real estate professional will be called a mortgage broker when he negotiates a home loan for his client with the mortgage lenders. Brokers mainly help clients with home inspection, loans and insurance. A mortgage lender is a real estate professional who finances the real estate clients who approach them through the mortgage brokers.

A real estate professional with a license must spend over 750 hours in real estate business when compared to all other businesses. A professional must be prepared to deal with residential and commercial property development, redevelopment, reconstruction, conversion, rental, management, leasing, and brokerage trade. The activities of a real estate professional will include searching real estate property, attending real estate seminars, meeting clients and accompanying them to sites, meeting mortgage brokers to negotiate loans, preparing on real estate legal and financial matters and monitoring finances through the entire deal.

Real estate is a very lucrative career. But it also has its fluctuations. In order to thrive in the volatile real estate industry, real estate professionals must learn to create multiple income streams. A professional can create multiple income streams by offering repair services on credit, helping investors market their property for a referral fee, processing short sales for other realtors and providing consultation to real estate pioneers. The use of technology in marketing real estate is the latest strategy to make money.

A real estate professional with the right education, negotiation and communication skills and experience is sure to succeed in the real estate industry by making the best out of every opportunity that comes his way!!

Brodie - i agree, realtors need multiple income streams and when times a good, invest, invest and invest so that when times are dry and lean you have income from those investments.
