Getting a rewarding job that opens up opportunities for growth and big success does not have to be a result of years and years of training and big spending. If you are good with people, eager to succeed and self-confident, the real estate industry offers a world of opportunities and a path to success.

For many young people seeking to start their career it can be difficult to get a foot in the door. You may have huge potential, the right mindset and the ability to do a good job, but without spending years and years studying and racking up a huge university debt you just can’t seem to find a job that will progress in the future.

Compared to other jobs, getting into real estate is quick and affordable in terms of training and licenses. It is also an industry that allows you to progress to big things if you have the drive and motivation to do so. While you can complete the training quickly, having the right mindset and skills will allow you to progress and succeed in the industry.

So how do you progress in the real estate industry? Well, first things first, you need to get certified to get started. Within just a couple of days you can be certified and ready to work as an agent’s representative. Working as an agent’s representative is a good place to start because it allows you to learn the ins and outs of the business through experience. To put it simply, an agent’s representative can perform any agents tasks and responsibilities but only under the authority of a licensed real estate agent.

When you have been working in the industry for a year you can then complete a course to get your real estate agents license. Once you have gained your real estate agent license even more opportunities will open up to you and the potential for your career to grow will increase greatly. Completing a licensing course will enable you to become a manager, independent real estate agent or a director. If you have the drive and motivation to do so you can then build your career and continue to increase your earnings. In Australia the average salary for a real estate agent ranges from $30,000 to $90,000. While you are earning below $90,000 there is still room for progress.

If you want to achieve big things in the sales industry, real estate is a great career to pursue. You don’t need to rack up debt studying and you don’t need to spend years getting qualified. All you need is motivation, people skills, an eagerness to learn and confidence.
