Do you have what it takes? ny real estate professional will tell Ayou that a career in real estate _ SR involves much more than just selling. Strong mathematical, research and communiâ€" cation skills are just a few of an assortment of skills that a realtor needs to be successful. If you think you have what it takes to enter this challenging and rewarding profession, the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) and TVOntario (TVO) have developed a series of informative videos which you should watch before you make your decision. The series is called "A Career in Real Estate" and consists of four, 30â€"minute shows which provide a detailed look at what it takes to sell real estate. Even if you‘re not considering a real estate career, you may want to watch this series to find out what to expect from a realtor. The four programs complement OREA‘s Phase One Course. The course is the first part of an intense educational program which indiâ€" viduals must complete in order to receive their real estate license. The series complements the course by proâ€" viding comprehensive information on a real estate careerâ€"in an entertaining blend of docâ€" umentary and drama. Each program consists of host narrations, dramatized scenarios and interviews with actual real estate practitioners who share their views on various issues. The programs also realistically describe the benefits of a career in real estate and stress the drawbacks. One of the greatest benefits is the flexibility of working independently, while one of the main drawbacks is the long hours which dominate most evenings and weekends. d x 4i 4s 4A QUIET CRESCENT! area with picture window, sunken fam. rm. possession!

Their income is based on commission received on the property they sell. Since they work on commission there are no guaranteed earnings. This can either work for or against themâ€"some realtors earn sixâ€"digit incomes, while others work for almost no income. When you think about working in real estate, selling residential property is probably the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are eight areas of specialization which are covered in the first series, such as condoâ€" minium sales, new house sales and industrial, commercial and investment sales. If you‘re not comfortable with working in sales, the program describes other areas you can get involved with such as property management, appraisal and financing. The second program deals specifically with listings. Obtaining listâ€" ings and developing listing leads are two of the most important aspects of a realtor‘s career. Many realtors obtain listings by focusâ€" ing on one segment of a community and working it intensely. The third show takes a close look at how a real estate professional works with buyers and sellers. It explains the types of services a realtor provides to both parties and their legal responsibilities to each of them. The fourth program in the series covâ€" ers the technical skills involved in drafting and presenting the offer. This step of a real estate transaction is extremely detailed and legal accuracy is a must. The programs will be aired on TVOntario at various times from Sept. 7 to Nov. 21.
