Do you have big plans to open up your own business? Are you open to new challenges and are looking to drive your career to the next level? Do you scan property listings, even though you are not buying a home? If your answer to any of the questions is yes, then maybe becoming an estate agent could be the perfect career change.

What do estate agents do? 
There are a number of things that estate agents do but broken down they sum up to marketing, selling and letting properties. The estate agent’s job is about being able to negotiate and sell. It is a task-driven career that involves commitment, good communication skills, and hard work.

​

Do I need a qualification?
Although legislation could change in the future, currently no qualification is required to become an estate agent in the UK. While no qualification is necessary to get into real estate, it is best to have the right skill set and personality. In fact, above all else, personality is a key element to being a successful real estate agent. You could have several degrees and be a highly decorated academic, but if you don’t have the right traits, you will not make a good estate agent.

Some key attributes include confidence - as you will deal with a lot of different people every day - excellent communication skills and passion. And, as with most sales careers, you need to be enthusiastic, determined and amiable.
