Working as a property agent can be a very rewarding career that provides monetary and non-monetary rewards for those who are ambitious and hard-working.

On one hand, you will be able to build a life-long career that offers you massive wealth through closing deals and investing in properties yourself.

On the other hand, you will be able to play a meaningful role in others’ lives and matching people with the spaces where memories will be made - from finding young family their first home to helping business locate a suitable office space.

But before sending over your CV, you should consider what kind of real estate agency that is best for you to work for. 

Here’s some of the aspects you should consider:

1. Reputation 

Real estate is all about reputation and thus it is deemed as the most important asset in the real estate business. 

A property agency firm with a good reputation is more likely to obtain more leads and clientele, which is crucial for you as a new joiner to grow.

So, talk to professionals who deal with real estate agents, such as bankers, home inspectors, conveyancing lawyers and valuers to find out some useful info.

2. Market share and brand prominence

The market share of a property agency is an undeniable way to evaluate how successful they are at. 

An agency firm that has a substantial online presence is a sign that it’s a great place to work. Hence, see how many sale and rental listings the agency firm has in the area you want to work. 

Meanwhile, an agency firm with an established brand presence can help set itself and its agents apart from the crowded marketplace. This is also crucial to build your own brand that will lead you to a lifelong career.

3. Training and personal development

A good real estate company should offer formal training and educational sessions on a regular basis to their agents, especially an organized process for coaching new agents.

Essential skills that will help you thrive in the industry includes sales techniques, negotiating, real estate laws, contract and agreement laws and many more.

Hence, it is important to look for a company that has these training programs for new agents in order for you to hit the ground running and find success more quickly.

4. Corporate culture and value

Like any other companies, a real estate agency firm that embrace positive culture and value can keep you satisfied and happy with your career choice.

Corporate culture and value are often overlooked by job seekers, but they can actually be very important to your success. 

If the office culture doesn’t mesh with your personality, you might find yourself avoiding going into the office. But if it’s a good fit, you’ll never want to leave.
