Q:I am really considering taking an online real estate program for the state of GA. What program do you suggest? Also, what pros and cons exist with being an agent?

The pro's - regardless of what your broker tell's you, you are your own boss. You set your hours, you set your appointments, and you decide how much or little you will work. The con's - you are your own boss. What this means is that YOU (not the broker) are ultimately responsible for making the sale, and the money. Additionally, most brokers ask for a very hefty portion of your commission check. If you are not selling houses, you are NOT making money. Additionally, one of the 'dirty little secrets' of the real estate business is that you have to be in the business for about two to three years before you make any money. Most experienced home sellers WILL NOT use an in-experinced agent. So your market for the first two years or so are only first time home buyers. Do you think most first time home owners can afford to buy the types of homes that will make you a large commission check? Think again. These folks can only afford 'starter homes' that range from $60 - 100K at the most. So at 3.5 or 3 percent (cause you will have to split the 6 - 7 percent commission with the selling agent) and then giving 50 percent to your broker, how much do you have left ? Not much. I was an agent for five months and averaged 1 sale a month which everyone said was fantastic for a new agent. Guess how much money I cleared? $5,000 dollars, or less than a thousand a month for working my but off. When I figured how many hours I spent - I was working for probablly minimum wage. And after my last client (who I worked with for about three months - and I did sell the house) almost 'balked' AFTER she had already closed escrow, and only closed the sale under threat of a lawsuit from the owner, I walked in after a very, very, long day and told my wife - Sorry, I'm done - and I went back into the IT field where I made more than $5000 in one month. They will not teach ANY of this to you in a real estate school.

Q:I am looking to become a real estate appraiser but I do not have a real estate license, will one be required? Also I live in Jacksonville Florida and want to know which is the best school to attend that offer the best training

Q:Do the real estate agents have their own painting company they rely on, or like do they recommend to the homeowner a painting company? and does this happen alot where there's a house to for sell, but the house needs to be painted and the agents tell the homeowner to get it painted? sry if it isnt clear

Attend open residences. Also, select up the nearby truly property books that they supply out totally free. Find a couple of residences you favor and contact the directory agent and ask to look the condominium. That will supply you a danger to fulfill a couple of nearby dealers and spot if there may be any individual you mesh good with. We used Remax with our final acquire/and promote. However, I could now not base my selection on a exact corporation identify....every realtor is distinctive and designated. Try to stay with a corporation that has a extra good recognized identify (none of the ones discounted expenditures areas or tiny organizations) so you already know you're getting essentially the most correct expertise feasible. If feasible, it could be best if the agent used to be virtually your age, in order that they are able to relate to why you're watching for specific points or areas, and will higher foresee different houses that can be superb for you that probably you're overlooking as being moderately unfamiliar with the discipline. Good good fortune! Look at a number of residences earlier than making any presents!

Q:I have registered for a real estate course from my college, however, I was wondering if it was worth it to get my license or if it would just be a waste of my time.

it all depends on the company you work for. RE can be the best thing and can be the worst business for yourself. Prepare to dedicate a lot of time building your business and clientel. Also referrals are a must to survive in this business

If you already paid for university is smart to comply with via with the plan. You can paintings in different places and simply have the license. Mine expired just lately and I in no way used it. I simply appear at it as a private target completed.

Q:some questions that i am wondering: best houses/apartments to buy and when and where? i dont know what exactly, to ask maybe for TIPS on real estate i guess? any other important information is greatly appreciated :)

When and where? When; you are financially stable with excellent credit, have enough saved up for a down payment, and sufficient income and assets to qualify for a mortgage, as well as enough savings for a cushion in the event of job loss or other emergencies. Where: the area you want to live in and can afford, close enough to your employment that commuting won't be a problem, and in a house or condominium that you will be happy to live in for some time whether the real estate market goes up or down. (there is a cycle every few years).

Q:I need a Mexico Real Estate Laws book in english, but I don't have any author of title. Any suggestion?

Yeah, and it's fairly running once they put into effect our legislation. Amazing, is not it? I am a little confused via the final line, even though, how can it's again door efforts to 'criminalize' persons via implementing present legislation they broke? Aren't they those who 'criminalized' themselves via breaking it? It is not as though the legislation was once handed after the truth.
