Real Estate

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Real Estate Brokers and sales agents help clients buy, sell, and rent properties. Although brokers and agents do similar work, brokers are licensed to manage their own real estate businesses. Sales agents must work with a real estate broker. The duties are: (1) Solicit potential clients to buy, sell, and rent properties; (2) Advise clients on prices, mortgages, market conditions and related information (3); Compare properties to determine a competitive market price; (4) Generate lists of properties for sale or rent, including details such as location and features; (5) Promote properties through advertisements, open houses, and listing services. (6) Take prospective buyers or renters to see properties. (7) Present purchase offers to sellers for consideration. Mediate negotiations between buyer and seller. (8) Ensure that terms of purchase contracts are met. (9) Prepare documents, such as closing statements, purchase agreements, and leases. Lawson's State Real Estate course is designed to teach you the "ins and outs" of the field and prepare you for your real estate licensed exam.
