Are you thinking of taking charge of your career and leaving the routine office job? A real estate career could be your perfect choice.

Here are 8 real estate agent career benefits you can look forward to:

1. Unlimited earning potential

A regular salaried job normally limits you to a monthly salary. You might wonder: what is a real estate agent's salary? In real estate, you have unlimited income potential.

The more properties you sell, the more money you earn. The career rewards efforts and is ideal for those seeking financial freedom.

2. Flexible work hours in a property career

You become your own boss. You determine when and how much time to work. While it requires self-motivation to succeed, you have the freedom to determine when to post listings, make appointments and do research.

You also decide when you will meet your clients, taking control of your time.

Clients are making the biggest decisions of their lives by buying or selling a property.

Every time you complete a transaction, beyond just receiving a commission, you also have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped someone.

4. A college diploma is unnecessary

If going for further studies is not your thing, don’t worry. The academic requirement to register as a REN is an SPM certificate or equivalent. No college diploma or university degree is necessary.

All you need is a willingness to learn, and the persistence to succeed in the business.

Only a small investment is required to attend a two-day Negotiator’s Certification Course (NCC), which costs only RM626 (including SST). Upon attending the course, you will need to pass the NCC Online Assessment, a simple test of your competence.

If you are worried about the NCC Online Assessment, the good news is that it is an open-book test!

6. A dynamic and exciting career

No more being confined to an office. You get to go out to meet people and see properties. You will meet clients, developers and other real estate negotiators.

RENs use and learn a variety of skills, including sales, negotiations, customer service, making it a dynamic career. If you are up for a challenge, this career will suit you.

7. Being a part of a thriving industry

The real estate industry is an ever-growing industry.

More property buyers and sellers means more need for the services of RENs. By becoming knowledgeable in real estate, you are well-positioned to serve your clients and unlock unlimited earning potential.

8. Start your own agency!

If you are up for the challenge of recruiting and leading a team of RENs, you can aim to becoming a Real Estate Agent.

First, you will need a paper qualification, such the Diploma in Estate Agency, awarded by BOVAEP. Candidates must sit for the Estate Agent's Examinations, a written examination, held in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2, annually.

After passing both papers, the next step is to apply to the Board for a Probationary Estate Agent (PEA) status. You will be posted for 2 years' practical training with a registered Real Estate Agency, and prepare for a professional interview with the Board - the Test of Professional Competency (TPC). Upon passing the interview, you will be awarded a Real Estate Agent (REA) status, giving you the license to open your own agency.
